Meghan Jackson

Pilates Method Class


Meghan's introduction to the Pilates Method began in 1993 while doing physical therapy for a dance injury. Recognizing the magic of the method, and with no studios yet in the area, Meghan practiced the mat work with her dance partner Luis Bravo, whose teacher was an original student of Joseph Pilates. In 1996 she discovered Body Precision Pilates where she would begin her journey to become an instructor. Meghan has over 25 years experience teaching movement. Along with a 12 year career in classical ballet, Meghan holds a Master's Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from Hahnemann University, received her comprehensive certification in Pilates from Body Precision Pilates in 2001 and her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training from Dhyana Yoga in 2014. She opened her own studio in 2001. Meghan's experience in watching how the body moves has enabled her to work with a wide variety of clients including professional athletes, post rehabilitative clients, and those with Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, and other movement challenges.
