Aline Studios Instructors (See a list of our Graduates)

Aline Conditioning was established in 1989 as I was winding down my career as a Professional Modern Dancer. I began by teaching Pilates matwork in gyms, for chiropractors, and physical therapists. I ran my studio out of my home until I opened my first location in Costa Mesa in 1995. There were 3 studios in town at the time.

I began my teacher training program as my studio expanded and the need for teachers began to appear. I had no idea how successful this program would turn out to be. Aline Certification Program is now widely respected in the field because of the quality of its graduates.

The studio expanded with the introduction of Gyrotonic and Gyrokenisis in 1999. We were the first studio in O.C. to begin offering both disciplines as well as Ballet Fitness.

In 1998 I was invited to participate in training professional surfers. The inclusion of professional level athletes to the program proved to be a challenging and rewarding effort. I worked with World Champion Jeff Booth, Tom Curran, Dave Post, Danny Nichols, and Nate Tyler. I also developed the Pilates Program for the Quiksilver Pro Am Series. This updated the training for the Quiksilver Team tremendously by updating their existing program. I was invited to work on location in Hawaii where I introduced Pilates to Chelsea Georgeson, Lisa Andersen, Rosy Hodge, and World Champion Sophia Mulanovich during the Roxy Pro Series in Oahu.

I continued to work with Roxy Team Manager Rachel Greff and Lisa Andersen educating them on the benefits of this type of training for professional women in surfing. Pilates and Gyrotonic are truly innovative and completely successful programs for professional surfers. Encompassing all they need in training for stamina, endurance, and injury prevention as well as deep abdominal strengthening and muscle balancing. It also provides the mental concentration and discipline needed to be a successful competitor.

I initiated Pilates programs for Yoga Place, The Girls Gym Newport Beach and Laguna Canyon, Athletic Club for Women, Lakeshore Towers, Revolution Studio, and TRAC Physical Therapy.
