Ame

Ame opened and maintains Rogers Park MOVES as a Pilates instructor of more than 20 years. 

Pilates came into her life just as her dance career was ending in 2000. She trained in southern California (so-called Del Mar and Costa Mesa with Julian Littleford and BASI Pilates respectively) and came back to the Midwest with her spouse to raise a family. Upon completing a second comprehensive training with Jennifer Golden at Pilates Chicago she joined the staff and then teacher training faculty from 2011-2020. Ame is a student of abolition and so continuously looking for ways to decolonize her actions inside and outside this space. She hopes to build a community where members feel supported and movement offers a glimpse of what’s possible.
