Bio

Stephanie has a BA in Physical Education and a MS in Curriculum and Instruction and has been teaching for 14 years.  Stephanie began her Pilates adventure when she was introduced to Rael in 2005 as the kindergarten teacher of Rael’s son. Rael approached Stephanie with the thought of putting together a comprehensive Pilates program for children. After completing her coursework and getting certified through BASI, Stephanie began putting on after school Pilates programs for children, parents, and staff within the Hood River County School District.  

Stephanie has had the pleasure of being able to work with Rael to develop a program that offers movements that are true to what BASI stands for but differentiated for all levels of children that are in the program.   

Stephanie lives in Hood River, Oregon with her husband and two children. She has been a teacher with the school district since 1997 and hopes to continue finding ways to integrate the love of movement into the daily lives of children.
