Joshua didn't seek out Pilates over 18 years ago as a new way of living, it found him. Retiring from a career as a professional ballet dancer with Ballet Theatre of Maryland and Columbia City Ballet, Pilates was the next logical step. He never knew how many lives would change as a result of signing up for a few classes.
His original training came from Power Pilates, then Peak Pilates, and finally Balance Body. He also received his Pilates Method Alliance Certified Teacher certification in 2017. Additionally, he was a Master Trainer for Club Pilates, teaching other teachers how to become instructors.
He has taught in four of the Top Ten Pilates Studios in NYC. He taught in studios with Best-Selling authors Brooke Siler, "The Pilates Body" and former owner of re:AB Soho and Alycea Ungaro, "The Pilates Promise" and owner of Real Pilates: Tribeca. While at Real Pilates: Tribeca Joshua also worked next to teacher and author Daniel Lyons, "Pilates for Men." NYC was a wealth of information and inspiration at every turn.
Joshua’s teaching style has been mentioned on Oprah.com, FOXNews.com, and UnderArmour.com for his work that he did with triple-negative breast cancer survivor Jennifer Griffin.
Pilates is one of the most empowering tools Joshua has ever discovered. Pilates is an art to be worked towards every day. The teaching, the passion, and the uniqueness of each day have made this a priceless journey.
