Diana Garcia-Snyder

Diana Garcia-Snyder discovered Pilates as a way to keep herself strong and injury-free so that she could continue her work as a dancer and choreographer. She completed her mat Pilates teacher training in Chicago in 2003 and received her full Pilates certification at Vitality Pilates. She is also a Vinyasa yoga practitioner and holds a Masters Degree in Dance and Movement Research from the University of Washington. She has integrated Authentic Pilates and the STOTT Pilates method into her teaching, allowing her to draw from both classical and contemporary approaches. Also, Diana’s 20 years of professional dance training (ballet, modern dance, and butoh) give her an expert eye for movement. Diana’s yoga background also allows her to integrate effective yoga stretches into her client’s workouts. She is a patient and thoughtful instructor and enjoys working with beginners, pre-natal and post-partum moms, people who work for long hours at their desks, as well as more advanced clients such as dancers and athletes.
