Danielle Andrade

Studio Owner and Master Instructor

Danielle discovered her passion for movement at age five through ballet and jazz, and has followed that path ever since. She graduated in Physical Therapy from Estácio de Sá University in 2006 and has since dedicated herself to studying the body, movement, and rehabilitation. During her studies, she was introduced to the RPG technique and began integrating it into her practice along with the core principles of Pilates.

She began her Pilates training in 2008 in Brazil, specializing in mat work, equipment, and advanced techniques. Seeking deeper knowledge in women’s health, she studied Aero Pilates in Madrid in 2013 and returned in 2014 to complete the Stott Pilates Rehabilitation Program.

Her training expanded with Total Barre (2014) and additional certifications such as PMA and Stretch-Eze (2015). She later joined the Master Mentor Program with Lolita San Miguel — a first-generation Pilates teacher trained directly by Joseph Pilates — graduating as a second-generation instructor in 2019 and becoming Lolita’s only disciple in Nevada.

Combining physical therapy and Pilates, Dani is dedicated to teaching, rehabilitating, and helping people build strength, body awareness, and confidence in movement — a true reflection of her passion for the field.
