Elizabeth Wilkinson is a Nashville native and life-long mover who loves to share her passion for healthy living with others. Elizabeth first discovered Pilates at a young age as a student at The Nashville Ballet, when her teachers began incorporating Pilates into her ballet classes. She continued her study of Pilates throughout college and her career as a professional dancer. Elizabeth moved to New York City in 2004, where she began studying Gyrotonic and completed her teacher training at Studio Riverside. Elizabeth was certified in Classical Pilates through Center for Movement in New York, and received a second certification at The Lab Fitness in Brooklyn, where she learned a more contemporary approach. She is also certified in Thai Yoga Bodywork through the New York Open Center. For the last 20+ years, Elizabeth has developed her own unique teaching style, drawing from her diverse movement background. Elizabeth specializes in teaching Classical Pilates with an emphasis on form, alignment, and healing.

In 2016, Elizabeth returned to Nashville and opened Well Body Pilates.
