In addition, she has taken workshops on Athletic Conditioning on the Reformer, Scoliosis Management, and Prenatal mat workouts. Amelia seeks to create workouts that are fun, challenging, and pain-free, regardless of age or physical abilities.

Annalisa discovered Pilates & Gyrotonics initially as a means to address her own physical issues related to scar tissue and structural imbalances. This personal journey evolved into a professional calling when she found satisfaction in helping others heal. Annalisa's expertise was developed through valuable experience shadowing a Master Teacher at a Physical Therapy office, where she learned to rehabilitate various injuries including shoulders, backs, knees, and hips. Annalisa also gained specialized knowledge in women's health, working with breast cancer recovery patients, pre- and post-natal cases, and chronic pelvic conditions. In her teaching she applies a comprehensive knowledge and innovative, hands-on approach to assist diverse clients in their healing journeys. ​
