About the Presenter

Molly Wiatrak started Pilates in 2021 and immediately fell in love with this form of movement. As a dancer, Molly has always been active and interested in different forms of movement to compliment her dance training. The Pilates method by far has been the most beneficial in building the proper foundational strength and body awareness needed for dance. With the popularity of Pilates in the dance world, Molly decided she wanted to take the next step forward by taking the Club Pilates Comprehensive Training Program to get certified as an instructor. She hopes to inspire others to practice Pilates to find a deeper mind-body connection. Whether or not you are a dancer, Molly hopes to show you the importance of Pilates for the overall well-being of every individual.
