About
Meet Linnea
Linnea is a Body Arts and Sciences International (BASI) Certified Pilates Instructor. She grew up in Canada, England, Singapore, and Santa Barbara. Throughout these moves, formal dance training provided an important constant and introduced her to Pilates. She was attracted to Pilates because of its emphasis on the mind/body connection and strength building.
Linnea has been teaching Pilates since 2009 and has trained with many of the top Pilates trainers in the world. She views the practice of Pilates as a lifelong pursuit and loves to learn from and be inspired by her fellow teachers in professional development trainings, workshops, and conferences.
Inspired by Pilates’ ability to rehabilitate her body and enhance her well-being during her first two pregnancies, Linnea completed pre- and post-natal Pilates instructor training at EHS Preggo Pilates in San Francisco. This training furthered her practice and enhanced her knowledge during her third pregnancy.
Linnea aims to inspire, support, and guide clients—from beginner to advanced—as they increase whole body awareness, remediate imbalances, enhance strengths, and move with integrity. When working with Linnea, clients can expect a climate of warmth, acceptance, and sensitivity to their needs and goals.
When she is not practicing or teaching Pilates, Linnea enjoys spending time with her three sons and her husband, as well as cooking, swimming, dancing, listening to music, creating art, and hiking.
It is the mind itself which builds the body.” — Joseph Pilates

Client Reviews
Linnea's classes have transformed my fitness routine. Her attention to detail and personalized approach have helped me achieve results I never thought possible.
Elise Cranson
I started attending mat class with Linnea while I was struggling to recover from diastasis recti. Linnea helped me tremendously to build my strength back when it was feeling like nothing else was working. She was very knowledgeable and modified the exercises in class for me. She also recommended exercises for me to work on at home so that I could continue to get stronger. I feel that I would still be stuck without her help. Linnea’s classes became a highlight of my week. I always left class feeling relaxed and rejuvenated but also like I had gotten in a great workout. I cannot recommend Linnea highly enough

The standout reason I am obsessed with Linnea and her Pilates classes is her dedication to engaging both mind and body in working conjunction. Her class design marries physical action and mental stimulation to work the brain with the body, creating an experience that is more than just exercise. Linnea peppers her students with lessons about the inception of Pilates, historical context regarding Joseph Pilates, anatomy facts, and guided visualization to maximize physical performance. The end result is an instruction that commands the entirety of being

I cannot say enough positive things about Linnea! I started taking Linnea's Pilates mat classes about a year and a half ago. I was instantly obsessed and have been doing it consistently ever since. I have never been a big fan of exercise but I have found a love for Pilates through her passion for it. Her detailed instruction through each class has helped me to target specific areas and helps me to know I'm doing the exercises correctly. Linnea also has an incredibly healing and calming demeanor. Just being around her on a bad day can help me to feel more at ease. When I began her classes, I was going through one of the hardest times of my life and these classes were a respite for me. I can honestly say that I am a changed person because of the presence of Linnea and Pilates in my life, and I can't recommend her enough!
