Lori Mora

MASSAGE THERAPIST & PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Having discovered Pilates over a decade ago, Lori realized she had found something that helped her to be stronger, leaner, and more flexible.  As a Massage Therapist, Lori knew she could use all of these Pilates principles with her clients to help them take back their health through movement. She has integrated her anatomical knowledge as a Massage Therapist with Pilates movement to release her clients’ binding muscle tension and help re-educate them into more healthy muscle and joint movement patterns.

Lori carefully and uniquely personalizes her classes to ensure that regardless of a client’s age or fitness level, they are able to gain awareness and an appreciation of their bodies.  She’s found that helping people to become stronger and more flexible with their Pilates practice has enhanced many other aspects of their lives.  She’s able to bring fun, encouragement, and results to clients, young and old— no matter what level of fitness they came to her with, they always feel good and move better after Pilates!!

Lori received her Pilates comprehensive training and certifications through PSC (Pilates Sports Center in Encino, California). She has studied Scoliosis Workshops under Karena Thek, founder of Scolio Pilates, in Ventura, CA. She has further studied Anatomy in Three Dimensions with Viktor Uygan at Konnect Pilates through Balanced Body®. She has also completed the Continuing Workshop with Chelsea Streifeneder, author of Studio Shape Up, and the Extensive Foot and Ankle Workshop with Jillian Hessel.

Recently Lori has relocated back to the East Coast where she was born in Dutchess County after living in Southern California for the last 30 years. 

Although she misses the sunny days and warm weather, she’s incredibly happy to be home where her heart is, in NY.
