For her, pole is more than just a workout it’s a transformative practice that has helped her build confidence and reconnect with a sense of play. She believes movement is a powerful tool for self-discovery and empowerment, which led her to deepen her knowledge by earning her Pilates Comprehension Certification in December 2024. With a background in both pole and Pilates, Letty focuses on mindful movement, body awareness, and strength building, helping students feel more in tune with their bodies. She loves creating a welcoming and supportive space where students can explore, grow, and celebrate their progress no matter where they are in their journey.
