YOUR TEACHER TRAINER
Svea McMath
Prior to becoming a classically certified Pilates Instructor through Power Pilates, Svea McMath trained professionally in ballet which was when she was introduced to her first formal Pilates class at the impressionable age of ten years old. From that moment, the inspiration to one day become a certified Pilates Instructor herself was fostered in her heart.The dream of dancing professional was abruptly cut short due to a spinal injury and it was soul-searching time. Uncertain of what step to take next, there was one constant in her heart: the
undeniable joy she had discovered for Pilates’ intelligent, mind-body approach to the art of movement and the passionate calling to advance the true meaning of wellness. Years after the
original class which inspired her down this path, Ms. McMath completed the renowned Power Pilates 600-Hour Comprehensive Apparatus Program in 2018 under Party Geiger and then a second classical Pilates comprehensive teacher training in 2022. She is also nationally certified through the Pilates
Method Alliance (PMA).
In 2024, Svea was honored to become one of the teacher trainer’s for Power Pilates, the Internationally recognized school of classical Pilates.
In addition to her two complete comprehensive Pilates certifications, Ms. McMath is also an Instructor and Pre-Trainer of The GYROTONIC® Method and an Instructor in The
Gyrokinesis® Method.
Ms. McMath is eager to share her passion for the Contrology Method and to carrying on the legacy of Joseph Pilates. True wellness blooms from the inside outward, enveloping both mind, body and spirit.
