NOELLE NIEGSCH

Senior Instructor

Noelle Niegsch (she/her), born and raised in Brockport, New York, began her love for movement with dance at a young age, and has loved movement ever since. Currently a dancer and an aerialist in training at Roc City Circus, Noelle believes that movement is the key to supporting a happy and healthy life.

Noelle believes that although every body is different, every body is also resilient and adaptable to change. She works with clients' individual needs and goals, but also loves to push people so they can move in ways they didn't know they could, and move through life with more ease. Her goal is to help you feel strong, mobile, and maybe even curious about movement! By having a consistent movement practice, Noelle believes you will learn more about your body and yourself as a whole.

Before teaching Pilates, Noelle attended the State University of New York at Fredonia where she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance along with a minor in Sports and Exercise Science. During her time at Fredonia, she was introduced to Pilates and cultivated an interest to study it further. After graduating, Noelle moved to New York City to pursue her love of movement and to begin her professional career. In New York, Noelle received her Comprehensive Pilates Certification from Erika Bloom Pilates and then continued on to teach at the Erika Bloom Pilates flagship studio in the heart of Manhattan. She was also a part of ASHA Dance Company for three years where she brought her knowledge of Pilates to her fellow company members to ensure their bodies stayed strong and supported through the rigors of rehearsals and performances. Post NYC, Noelle spent six months living in New Orleans where she taught at Crescent City Pilates and began practicing with many different instructors. This broadened her teaching and Pilates knowledge and helped to cultivate a network of Pilates professionals that continue to help Noelle grow. Continuing education within the Pilates and movement world and teaching according to current scientific evidence is important to Noelle.

Now back in Rochester, she is happy to be closer to home and be a part of the Evolution Pilates family. When she's not in the studio, Noelle enjoys balancing adventure and relaxation with her husband and their cavalier, Ellie!
