Samantha Miola, Level IV Romana’s Pilates instructor

Hi, I'm Samantha! I'm a Romana's Pilates Certified Instructor based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I've always been fascinated by health, movement, and helping others live well. While earning my degree in Nutrition Sciences, I discovered Pilates and quickly fell in love with the method. What began as my own practice became a constant throughout college and the years that followed. I loved the way Pilates challenged me to become stronger, more aware, and more connected to my body. Alongside my Pilates practice, I continued my education in nutrition, completing my dietetic internship and MBA in Chicago and working closely with clients in the health and wellness space.

While I enjoyed helping people through nutrition, I found myself continually drawn to movement, specifically the incredible transformation I saw through Pilates. As someone who has struggled with debilitating sciatica caused by scoliosis, Pilates became an essential tool in my lifestyle to keep my pain at bay as well as prevent my scoliosis from getting worse.

In 2019, I began a rigorous two-year apprenticeship under Second Generation Pilates teachers Rhonda Celenza and Juanita Lopez, immersing myself in the original method developed by Joseph Pilates. I became a Romana's Pilates Certified Instructor in 2021, and I've continued my education ever since because I believe the best teachers are always students.

No two bodies are the same, which is why no two lessons should be either! Every session is tailored to your unique body, goals, and experience level. Pilates should meet you where you are today while helping you move toward where you want to be!

Whether your goal is reducing pain, improving posture, increasing athletic performance, or maintaining independence as you age, we'll work together to create a program that supports you.

I'd love to help you discover how Classical Pilates can help you move better, feel stronger, and enjoy life more fully.
