Laura Gunder is a classically trained Pilates instructor based in New York City. Always a student, Laura continues her training and education with Katie Yip. Laura completed her 500 hours of comprehensive training under the guidance of Jennifer Deluca.
Laura’s introduction to Pilates comes from her experience and history as a professional ballet dancer, searching for a complimentary cross-training method to supplement her dancing. Trained in the Balanchine method at the School of American Ballet in NYC, Laura danced professionally with Pacific Northwest Ballet and Kansas City Ballet before transitioning her focus to Pilates education. Laura graduated from the New School with a BA in Liberal Arts focusing on global studies, sociology, and gender studies.
Laura is passionate about helping her clients – of all ages and experience levels – deepen their understanding and connection to their bodies and physical selves. Using the classical Pilates method, Laura tailors each session to the body before her, learning as much from them as they do from her.
