Meet the Founder
Shamanta Rubino-Lloyd: Certified Specialist, Movement Educator, Italian Perfectionist
Shamanta Rubino-Lloyd is a Certified STOTT PILATES® Instructor by Merrithew®, a BodyStrateg-ex® Certified Practitioner trained under Claudia Fink and Lester Ponce, and the first U.S. Certified R3BAR™ Pilates Instructor. Her background includes 25 years of ballet training and advanced studies in kinesiology, postural analysis, and conditioning. A first-generation Northern Italian with roots in Southeast Puglia, she brings a high standard of visual and physical excellence to every session.
