About
Move With Heidi Coles
For as long as I can remember I have been full of energy. I could never sit still. I was the only girl to do pull-ups during the Presidential Physical Fitness tests in grade school. Little did I know, my thirst for movement would lead me to dancing on cruise ships and performing aerial stunt work for The Happiest Place on Earth. From bungee cords and hanging ropes, to foam mats and pulley cables.
After suffering a knee injury, I was taken down a different path, back to an old college professor, 2nd generation teacher, Karen Clippinger. With Karen, I received my BASI Comprehensive Pilates Certification with Dance Specialization in 2010. The struggle to find myself as a teacher ended when I finally accepted that my energy and my spunk is a wonderful asset to my teaching! Relatability is important! My mission is for new instructors to embrace their amazing and unique character and allow that to enhance their role as a teacher.
