Helena Ashby

GretchenHelena Ashby has been involved in the practice and teaching of Pilates since 2000. After retiring from a thirty-six career in public service, she sought to relieve chronic back pain with the practice of Pilates. The strength and flexibility gained by working out with Pilates completely eliminated her pain and improved her quality of life.

Helena was certified in Pilates at Long Beach Dance Conditioning by Marie-José Blom. She was certified in Gyrotonic by Julio Horvath in Rome, Italy after studying with Lisa Marie Rice and Alicia Head.
