Patricia Pinto

Patricia found Pilates after taking a break from her vigorous yoga practice that caused her a hamstring tear (“yoga butt”) which subsequently gave her sciatica. As she continued to practice, the therapeutic and detailed strength of Pilates was all she needed to support an active lifestyle as a yoga and fitness professional.

Patricia received her first Mat certification through the Equinox Pilates Institute and trained for Mat and the Full Apparatus program at Erika Bloom Pilates, both in New York City. She has been teaching the Pilates Method at Equinox and studios since 2012. She is also certified in numerous Barre, Sculpt, Yoga, Mindfulness and Somatic modalities.

Patricia has been leading sold out Pilates Mat Teacher Trainings since 2020 both in virtual and in person formats in studios in New York City, Miami, Detroit, Mexico City and Rochester and has trained over 300 Pilates Mat instructors that teach at some of the world’s best studios and gyms. She has worked with many private and corporate clients for years at a time- most of Patricia’s private clients never stop seeing her and her classes are constantly sold out. She has a professional yet casual demeanor and loves to share her passion of strength and alignment.
