About Anna
Founder and Master Trainer
An ever curious practitioner of movement, Anna has been growing within the fitness industry for the last 20 years. Her teaching has evolved through first classical Pilates, then Dharma Yoga, TRX suspension, Strong First Kettlebells and classic Strength Training.
She spent her first teaching years under mentors Susan Moran and Bob Liekens at Power Pilates. A parallel career in dance took her to Senegal, West Africa where she spent several more years both performing in and eventually running her own dance company while teaching Pilates and Yoga throughout the capital.
She returned to New York in 2015 and spent the next few years furthering her education at Real Pilates under mentor Alycea Ungaro. A simultaneous ancillary position at Equinox exposed her to new modalities leading to certifications in the Kettlebells, TRX and personal training.
In 2018, Anna opened NeXa Pilates and Fitness, a multi modality fitness studio in NYC, with her late business partner Anne Jameson. Anna took over full ownership of the gym in 2022, rebranding it into NeXa Studios and continues down the multi disciplinary path of blending the best of all movement worlds to encourage people to build a body that can do it all!
