Hello, I'm Vickie Anglin

Pilates rescued me from decades of back pain, improved my posture, endurance, coordination, balance, and strength.  The whole-body exercise of Pilates builds efficiency and ease of movement.  We recently traveled to Portugal where it is hilly!  There are cobbles, and all sorts of public transportation, not to mention very large airports on both ends of the flights.  My Pilates practice allowed me to control my rollaboard and personal items with ease and strength.  At one point we were running along a train platform with our luggage! I walked long days over the hilly cobbles without a second thought. Now that's what I call doing life better and aging gracefully! 

After the first reformer session I noticed immediately that I was sitting in my car more comfortably.  Over the next few days I was aware of postural habits which may not have been so good.  I returned to the studio for the second lesson, and again, I noted more awareness of my movement patterns for the following days.  …  By the fifth lesson, I had so much relief from the persistent back pain that I had firmly decided that I would become a teacher. 

I trained with Nancy Sanchez Pilates through Balanced Body Education and completed the Comprehensive Teacher Training, testing out in January 2023.  I am so thankful for all the wonderful and supportive teachers that have shaped my practice and continue to support me.  Teachers need Teachers too!

And my journey lands us here at UPRight Pilates Studio.  Join me to explore the life changing benefits of Pilates.
