Noelle Whittington

Noelle Whittington is a Wilmington, NC native with a background in classical dance. Her dance studies led her to pursue other avenues of movement, especially those that helped her escape the rigidity and precision of Ballet. Through her dance school she discovered Pilates, and was hooked.

While in college at NC State University, Noelle enrolled in her first Yoga class and found her one true love. She loved the way that Yoga made her feel and enjoyed exploring the movement of her body without restrictions. Noelle continued her Yoga classes in New York city where she lived for three years, until she decided to follow her passion. She enrolled in the 200-hour Interdisciplinary Yoga teacher training at Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. After her training, Noelle traveled throughout Costa Rica practicing Yoga and surfing for two months before moving back to the states to teach Yoga and Pilates full-time.

Noelle trained in Vinyasa Yoga with Shiva Rea, and Power Vinyasa with Kristin Cooper. She has also studied Anusara Yoga with Ashley Ludman, Lila Pierce Brown, and Sommer and Paul Sobin while also exploring various fitness-based programs. Noelle received her Pilates Mat and Reformer certifications through Christi Romani-Ruby of Power House Institute Pilates, who is based in physical therapy.

Noelle loves to empower her students through movement meditations and encourages them to let go and "dance like nobody is watching". She is grateful to be able to travel the world and to enhance her teaching by experiencing other cultures, which reminds her that we share this precious Earth and that we honor ourselves by treating it well.
