Meet your Teacher
Dru Parker
I have always had a passion for SCIENCE ART and MOTION. When I discovered how Pilates encompassed ALL of those things, I fell in love immediately. I appreciate the SCIENCE behind the exercises. I enjoy the beauty of the graceful, ARTistic movements. I feel the strengthening effects of the mindful MOTION.
I find great joy in helping my students see the potential they have in their own body, deep within their core, to stand taller, sit better, and move more efficiently using the Pilates method. It is my hope that each student leaves their lesson feeling energized, refreshed, strong, and confident. I truly believe that Pilates is the perfect fitness choice for everyBODY.
I LOVE PILATES! and I would love to share the many benefits of Pilates with YOU!
In 2015, I became certified in Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Postural Analysis and All Populations Mat I with Pilates Academy International of New York. In 2016, I received my Barre certification with CoreBarre, a Smart Movment Certification created by Monica Hoekstra owner of ABsolute Pilates of Charlotte. I have also completed CoreBarre workshops for Active Aging Adults, Pre/Post Natal, Core Mat and Floor Barre, and Active Isolated Stretching (AIS).
In 2019, I completed a "Classical Pilates" certification with Romana's Pilates International. Through this program I began learning the true Pilates method, and how to teach in the way Joseph Pilates taught his method of "Contrology." As one of Joe’s proteges, Romana wanted to continue to share his work with the world. So, she created a comprehensive certificaton that has become one of the world's most prestigious teacher training programs. Requirements of the program included over 600 hours of apprentice observations, lessons, practice teaching, and written and practical tests throughout the program. This certification has provided me with an understanding of how to safely use all of the classical Pilates apparatus and how to effectively create workouts for every individual regardless of age, ability, fitness level, injury or special conditions.
Today, I continue my study of Pilates with Janice Dulak and Monica Hoekstra of Dark Horse Pilates.

What Clients are Saying:
"I have been taking Pilates and Barre classes from Dru Parker for over a year. I have really enjoyed the classes and I feel that they have helped me to be stronger, have more energy, and move better. I received confirmation of that when I went to the doctor for a regular check-up. My P.A. told me I had a strong core when she didn't have to assist me on or off the exam table. I am 71 years old and my daughter, and two granddaughters also take the classes. We all enjoy taking Dru's classes and apppreciate her dedication as a Pilates instructor."
-Carol V
"I have been having one on one sessions with Dru since the end of February. When I first started working with her I had been away from my regular workouts due to shoulder and knee injuries. She does an amazing job of making sure you are using the proper muscles and doing the movements as you should. I had done Pilates routines at home and never realized how much I cheated on so many moves! I have had great improvements in core strength and flexibility with her classes. Thank you, Dru!"
