Core Pilates and Mat Instructor

Certified Pilates Instructor, Nina Crawford, moved to Charlottesville in 1989 from New York. She began her study of Pilates in 2004 prior to scheduled surgery. She continued her practice and at age 50 she became a certified Power Pilates instructor.

As a child, Nina grew up in the Pilates world. She draws inspiration from her mother who took classes directly from Joseph Pilates. Photos of Joseph Pilates workshops feature Nina’s mother in them - what a small world!

Nina has studied under Carla Shifflett at Posture Studio to learn the art of applying foundational Pilates to daily movement retraining.

Nina’s teaching is quick, direct and laser focused blending classical Pilates with a more modern approach. Nina’s classes bring results to those who want a great workout and want to feel the results later. Her quick wit and personality make her classes fun and lively.

Outside of the studio, Nina has owned a successful interior design business since 1995. She is well-known in the local design community for her incredible eye.
