Pilates with Jaime Russell

Week of August 29, 2026

Originally from the Midwest, Jaime Russell was introduced to the Pilates method at age 13 as a complement to her classical ballet training. After relocating to San Francisco to join Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet Training Program, Pilates became an essential tool for maintaining both physical resilience and mental clarity in and beyond the studio. 

In 2011, Jamie completed her first comprehensive Pilates teacher training in New York, followed by a second certification with Balanced Body in 2014. She has since pursued extensive continuing education with master trainers and third-generation teachers worldwide, deepening her understanding of both classical and contemporary approaches. Jamie is also a certified Gyrotonic instructor, a practice she values for the added depth, nuance, and dimensionality it brings to her teaching. 

Jamie believes that improved quality of movement leads to an improved quality of life, and she is committed to empowering students of all levels to move with greater efficiency, confidence, and longevity.
