Matilda Christesen
I opened my first Pilates studio about 20 years ago and have been educating clients and students ever since. I am a certified Pilates Instructor as well as a certified Yamuna Body Rolling and Franklin Method Educator; I have taught numerous Pilates and Functional Movement Workshops; I was a Licensed Studio and Teacher Trainer for The Pilates Center in Boulder CO from 2009 - 2017; in 2018 I created my own Teacher Training Program, and graduated a large number of Pilates Teachers, until 2024, as a teacher trainer/lecturer/examiner. In early 2025 I felt called to create a brand new teaching program and have co-created the Pacific Coast Pilates Academy! Stay tuned for what comes next... I will always continue to learn and educate, because that's what I love to do.
Veronica McClurg
I've been teaching Pilates since before 2000. Originally certified in Stott Pilates, I later went on to receive another diploma at The Pilates Center of Boulder, Colorado, believed to be "the Harvard of Pilates", where I later received my masters. I am a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher, holding certificates in Myofascial Release Body Rolling and Antigravity Yoga, and a Level 2 Franklin Method educator. My love of Pilates led me to being a teacher trainer/lecturer/examiner from 2009 till 2024, plus currently owning and operating my own boutique Pilates Studio. In 2025 the exciting opportunity to co-create a new Pilates Teacher Training program and Academy arrived, I can't wait for our first group of students!!
An open & curious mind, always asking questions and searching for answers.
