OUR STORY

​White Mountain Pilates was founded in 2019 by Anna Elkins. Having grown up here, Anna was thrilled to jump at the opportunity of bringing Pilates to the mountain when she & her husband decided to move back to the place they've always called home.

Anna is proud to be the one and only Pilates Instructor on the mountain and privileged to serve her hometown with her passion and expertise. 

ABOUT ANNA

I was introduced to the Pilates method as a teenager. My passion for movement led me to rummage through my momma's workout videos where I first discovered Pilates!
 
After high school I began taking Pilates classes in NYC as an aspiring professional dancer. My Pilates practice was my most valued source of conditioning and restoration from a strenuous dance training schedule.
 
Spring 2012 I decided to become a Pilates Instructor through Balanced Body University. My education began in Manhattan and was completed  through an extensive apprenticeship in Paradise Valley, AZ. I am now considered a 3rd generation Pilates Instructor under the legacy line of Lolita San Miguel. 

I am comprehensively trained in Pilates Mat & apparatus including Reformer, Cadillac/Trapeze, Chair, Barrels and a variety props including a few of Joseph's unique originals (such as the Toe Corrector and Pinwheel!). I have additional training in Barre Above, TriggerPoint Therapy myofascial release, TRX suspension training & Pilates Suspension Method.

I love the intricacy of Pilates and its power to generate true core strength while developing a connection between mind and body. By correcting imbalances, Pilates can even eliminate aches and pains that many people experience on a daily basis. I have worked with a wide variety of clients ranging from those with severe limitations and imbalances to pregnant mothers to professional athletes. I have seen countless transformations throughout the years as clients gain a new sense of integrated control and achieve exciting results.

Bringing Pilates to my hometown has brought me so much joy  since creating White Mountain Pilates in 2019. I have seen so many transformations in the bodies I’ve had the honor to work with!

My most recent Pilates project is an app for mothers called Renew Pilates that i cofounded with my business partner and friend Miranda Covino.
