Hi, I’m Cali — and I’m so happy you’re here.

​​​

Pilates became a true passion of mine after knee surgery at age 15. At the time, I had already been dancing, and teaching for as long as I could remember, and Pilates helped me continue to chase my dreams in dance.

 

Years later — while training at the University of Arizona’s School of Dance — I rediscovered just how powerful Pilates could be. Under the mentorship of Fletcher Pilates Director Kyria Sabin, I completed nearly 700 hours of comprehensive training on scholarship and earned my certification in January 2021.

​

Upon certification, I’ve taught for the University of Arizona’s School of Dance, The Fletcher Pilates Studio, and several popular studios on Manhattan’s Upper West Side — where my classes quickly became waitlisted. Within my first year in NYC, I was recognized by Equinox as one of the Top 50 Pilates Instructors in the World.

​

Today, I teach exclusively for Aman New York Hotel and through my own brand; Intentions by Cali. My classes are purposefully designed to build a strong classical foundation in movement, while challenging you to explore your full potential — all in a supportive, judgment-free space. I’m endlessly grateful for the clients, dancers, and families who have trusted me with their journeys in pilates, and I can’t wait to help guide yours.
