Barbara Hoffer turned to Pilates in 1997, when the corporate management training career she loved left her body a “wreck” due to constant travel and undue stress. “Because I understand personally the negative side effects of a stressful and sometimes sedentary life,” says Hoffer, “I am better able to show people how Pilates helps us move more efficiently every day. Pilates is more like a dance, flowing from movement to movement, just like our lives. I love to push others through compassion and a helping hand past places where they may be stuck and toward movement beyond where they might not have gone on their own.”

Certified as a Massage Therapist and Hatha Yoga Instructor since 1981, Barbara completed Pilates Instructor Certification from The Physical Mind Institute of NYC. A Certified Golf Conditioning Specialist and playful golfer, she's also a Certified Post Op Exercise Specialist who works with Breast Cancer survivors. She loves to “help others gain and maintain a healthier body at each stage of life.”

A resident of Montclair and native Texan, Barbara and her partner, Matthew, have one cat, Esmeralda, and son, Jonathan, who is a graduating Senior at Willamette University.
