Shannon Berkeley

Shannon has been teaching private Pilates and group classes, both in-person and virtually, since 2016.  She received her comprehensive 600-hour certification on all apparatus through Center for Movement, a classical Pilates studio on Manhattan's Upper East Side under teacher-trainer Alexia Simmons.  She has additional training in pre/post-natal Pilates, anatomy, injuries & existing conditions, and Pilates for men and athletes.  In addition to teaching classical Pilates at Center for Movement, Shannon helped open Club Pilates' first studio location in New York at Scarsdale, and subsequent locations in Ardsley and New Rochelle.  At Club Pilates, she taught both classical and contemporary Pilates, barre, and TRX, and was a lead instructor and workshop educator.  Shannon moved to Manhattan in mid-2018 and took on the role of operations manager and instructor at Uptown Pilates, managing and teaching at studios in both Manhattan and the Hamptons.  A career pivot during the pandemic led Shannon to start teaching virtual private Pilates for longtime clients, which she still does today while working a full-time corporate job in real estate.
