Amaya Allen

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Amaya has always had a passion for movement.

Growing up, she spent her time cheering, training in gymnastics, swimming and playing varsity volleyball. In college, she discovered a love for strength training, which eventually led her to the mindful, full-body practice of Pilates.

Amaya began her Pilates journey in 2021 while living in London, where she fell in love with the practice and the way Pilates seamlessly combines strength, control, and mobility. Since returning to the U.S., she has deepened her commitment to the practice and began her teaching journey, after completing her comprehensive certification through Pilates People’s Instructor Training Program.

Her mission as an instructor is to make Pilates accessible, empowering, and enjoyable for everybody—helping clients build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to movement.
