Heather Giesa is a native New Yorker and lifelong mover & shaker.

She was first introduced to Pilates in high school, while a dance major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS of Music, Art & Performing Arts. After a brief dance career, and almost a decade of experience teaching dance enrichment programs in public schools, pursuing a classical Pilates certification seemed like a natural transition.

She completed the comprehensive 600 hour program at Core Pilates NYC in the Fall of 2012. Soon after, she began an additional 200 hour certification to become a teacher trainer & taught on the faculty at Core for 6 years Heather is a seasoned instructor who loves to work with clients of all ages and abilities.

She holds multiple Pre and Postnatal certifications, and has a true passion for working with this population – especially since having experienced the benefits of a consistent Perinatal Pilates practice herself.

When she isn’t teaching, Heather enjoys cooking, people watching, dinners alone, sclepping her two boys around Brooklyn, watching documentaries about anything, and ALL things RuPaul.
