Founder and Creative Director
Our founder, Heather Simon, is a former professional ballet dancer trained at the renowned Idyllwild Arts Academy, where years of elite coaching shaped her ability to see alignment, balance, and movement mechanics with exceptional clarity. That foundation made Pilates a natural extension of her work and informed her precise, detail-oriented approach to movement.In 2000, Heather began her Pilates Career in Beverly Hills earning her Pilates Certification from The Physical Mind under the direct mentorship of Master Instructor, and former dancer Maria Leone, founder of Bodyline® Pilates Studio. Maria trained her personally and later hired her straight from a large student-teacher pool—an uncommon distinction that reflected both aptitude and alignment with Leone’s standards.Leone's signature Train Your Eye™ methodology and her Bodyline Method© shaped Heather's Philosophy and continues to influence her work today.She is currently advancing her education through Balanced Body, a global leader in contemporary Pilates education and a partner in the continued evolution of Leone’s training approach. This ongoing work ensures her teaching remains current, evidence-informed, and grounded in functional biomechanics.Simon's teaching is technically focused, and centered on helping clients move with integrity, build balanced strength, and understand their bodies on not only a kinesthetic level, but on an academic level.Pilates Puerto Rico reflects her commitment to high-quality instruction and her belief in the long-term value of correct, intelligent movement—embracing the widely held idea that if Joseph Pilates were alive today, he would continue adapting the method to meet the needs of modern bodies.
