Classical Pilates Lineage — Trained Under Romana Kryzanowska | Physical Mind Institute | Heritage Pilates | 1,000+ Hours Apprenticeship

Denee completed her classical Pilates training at the Physical Mind Institute in New York in 2004 and 2007, then continued her education with teachers trained by Romana Kryzanowska — Joseph Pilates’ chosen protégé and keeper of the authentic method — including Peter Fiasca, Siri Galliano, Mejo Wiggins, and Jay Grimes.

In the fall of 2009, she interviewed, was assessed, and chosen to train with Heritage Pilates under Romana Kryzanowska, Chacha Guerrero, and Michael Rooks, completing over 1,000 hours in her apprenticeship and graduating in the Spring of 2011. This direct lineage training makes Fit N Pilates one of the only classical Pilates studios in North Texas with authentic Romana Kryzanowska lineage certification.

Denee teaches only the authentic classical Pilates method — she does not add to it, change it, or create new exercises. Every session is fully customized to each individual client while preserving the essence and purpose of each movement. She breaks things down and truly explains each part so clients develop a deep understanding of their body and the method. She understands there are both physical and mental dimensions to classical Pilates training.

Denee lives happily in Richardson, TX with her family. She holds a degree in fashion design from the University of North Texas.
