OUR STORY
Dana and Leanna started as sisters-in-law and became co-founders when Dana’s passion and expertise in Pilates meshed with Leanna’s newfound exuberance for an evolved version of Pilates.
Dana has been a lifelong lover of fitness, but found Pilates after ten years of chronic pain from a debilitating car accident. After trying everything else, Pilates healed her body and changed her life. She was so inspired that she changed careers to help others. Dana completed The Advanced Teacher Training Program in 2010 through The Pilates Center, Boulder CO and has been a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher with the National Pilates Certification Program since 2012. She has worked in Pilates and Pilates based Physical Therapy studios in California and North and South Carolina.
Leanna has always made time to exercise throughout her life, but never found a workout that kept her attention for very long, until she discovered XFormer based Pilates. After seeing the full body transformation that is possible with this incredible workout (and taking 300+ classes), she introduced it to Dana, and Evolve Modern Pilates was born.
