    About Abla H.

    Hello, my name is Abla! If you are seeking to strengthen, tone and lengthen your body, and improve your overall health and well-being, you are in the right place! I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of Pilates and physical fitness in an efficient, easy to understand format. I have been teaching Pilates since 2004 and am a classically certified instructor with the Pilates Method Alliance. I design workouts to accommodate all levels of experience and intensity. I am a Los Angeles based Pilates instructor by way of Dallas, Philadelphia, and New York. In my former career as a professional opera singer, it was important to maintain my fitness level for performing on stage and strengthening my core to better support my voice. Pilates also enabled me to recover from various injuries, improved my posture, and enhanced my overall athleticism. I hope our time together will be productive, and I look forward to supporting your fitness goals! I am positive, dedicated, and I also enjoy the challenge of teaching and helping people to be their best.
