Elaina Stewart

Elaina is a creator and mover from Northeast FL. Her passion for movement began at very early age and molded her to who she is today. She’s a BFA Dance graduate from Rutgers University, where she studied contemporary and compositional forms. Her training in dance is what brought her to the Pilates Method. She’s found that it not only strengthens her creative movement but helps reconnect her with her mind in a different way than any other form of cross training. Stewart's teaching approach to Pilates comes from her experience working in a physical therapy rehabilitation setting and her previous instructing in group fitness. Moments of heat are fired up within her class relating to athleticism, balance and control, followed by stretching and mindful breathing to restore the nervous system to feel strong and clear within the mind and body. In addition to her teachings, Stewart is part of NYC based dance collective by the name NewBrese, where she works as the Assistant Choreographer. Stewart also enjoys rock climbing and gardening.
