About Patricia Pinto:

Patricia will be flying in from Miami for this training. She found Pilates after taking a break from her vigorous yoga practice that caused her a hamstring tear (“yoga butt”) which subsequently gave her sciatica. As she continued to practice, the therapeutic and detailed strength of Pilates was all she needed to support an active lifestyle as a yoga and fitness professional.

Patricia received her first Mat certification through the Equinox Pilates Institute and trained for Mat and the Full Apparatus program at Erika Bloom Pilates, both in New York City and has been teaching the Pilates Method since 2012. Patricia’s Pilates Mat classes are constantly sold out at Equinox, packing a weekly group of 60 people per class, pre-covid. She also has worked with many private clients for years at a time- most of Patricia’s private clients never stop seeing her! She has a professional yet casual demeanor and loves to share her passion of strength and alignment.
