Movement has always been Tania’s life. Her first introduction to formal training was ballet, at the age of 5. Tania danced for over 20 years, mainly in ballet but also in Modern, Jazz, Tap, Character and Russian dance. She trained at The Contra Costa Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and attained her Dance degree at UC Irvine where she was introduced to Pilates with Diane Diefenderfer. After University she founded the now defunct Hartfel Ballet, a contemporary ballet company based out of Tustin, CA. In 2001 she became an avid yoga practitioner, took spin classes and continued Pilates. She then got her Personal Training certificate through NASM in May of 2021. Soon after, she got Pilates Mat certified through Balanced Body University with Kelly Leonardi. Tania is continuing to expand her Pilates knowledge as she trains on other apparatuses that Joseph Pilates invented such as the reformer and chair. Tania lives in Long Beach with her husband, two children, two cats, and dog. She loves to bake and enjoys camping in her travel trailer with friends. Tania is thrilled to be at KÔR Pilates and looks forward to sharing her knowledge with our community and we are beyond thrilled to have her join our family!
