Our team

The Rooted Pilates team is passionate about sharing the power of Classical Pilates, guiding each client with care, precision, and genuine enthusiasm.  With a warm and friendly approach our instructors create a supportive environment where everybody feels welcome, encouraged and empowered on their wellness journey.

I am a BASI Certified Pilates Instructor.  I love teaching pilates because it allows me to help people feel stronger, more connected to their bodies, and confident in their movement. Watching clients progress and discover their potential through mindful, purposeful movement is incredibly rewarding.

Pilates promotes meditative wellness in the mind and body through strong and balanced movement. I am BASI Certified.  It has been my practice as a teacher and lifetime student since 1993. Pilates can accommodate any level of ability. I would like to share my practice of strength, balance and wellness with you.

I have worked as a BASI Certified Pilates Instructor since 1999.  Prior to that I was a register Nurse in Chile. In my Pilates practice I have become very passionate about motivating my clients to discover and use Pilates movements as tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and a strong mind-body connection.

I am a Comprehensively Certified Classical Pilates teacher, passionate about the power of intentional movement and holistic wellbeing. I love to create safe and healing movement spaces, utilizing the traditional pilates system, where people feel supported yet challenged. I teach with a functional approach; always asking myself what each unique client’s job or lifestyle asks of them and how can I help them to do it with more ease.

Tegan McKenzie

Instructor

I have always had a passion for movement and anatomy, starting in high school when I worked as a Physical Therapy Aide. My journey continued through with professional dance training at the renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. After dealing with a dance-related injury, I found healing and a new direction in Pilates. I studied under the wonderful Roberta Kirschenbaum, who has ties to the original Pilates lineage through Carola Trier. I completed my comprehensive certification with Rebecca Franks in Tucson, who also connects back to the roots of Pilates with Ron Fletcher and Joseph Pilates.

With over fifteen years of teaching experience and additional certifications in barre, Tegan brings a warm and thoughtful approach to each session, incorporating techniques like TRX and the GYROTONIC® Method. When she's not teaching, you can find her dancing, diving into her studies, or enjoying precious moments with her family.
