Amplified Instructor of the Month 
We are thrilled to be welcoming Shauna to our team of Amplified instructors. Get to know Shauna…
How did your Pilates career began?
I was a high school English teacher for the past 15 years until this past year when I decided I wanted to do something that was less stressful and more flexible. I figured I would look for an online teaching or curriculum development job, but shortly after I left my teaching job, Angie posted a notice about the Teacher Training program she was offering at Amplified. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in Pilates as it would allow me to continue teaching in some form and it would get me back into doing Pilates on a regular basis.
Why are you excited to join Amplified?
I’m excited to join Amplified because the instructors are amazing, the studio is beautiful and inviting, the equipment is top-notch, and all of the clients I have worked with and met so far are awesome!

I love teaching Pilates because I know that it benefits EVERYONE! It’s an amazing feeling to see clients progressing session by session: getting stronger and standing taller right in front of my eyes.
