Business Owner

Heather Andersen is passionate about changing bodies. A professional ballerina by trade, Andersen discovered Pilates while recovering from an ankle injury. Pilates became her passion and lead to her career as one of NYC’s top Pilates instructors.

After nearly a decade of working solely with private clients, Andersen opened New York Pilates in 2013 to provide her vast knowledge of movement and expertise on deep strength training to the masses in a chic, relatable environment that is up-​to-​the-​minute cool, and at the same time warm and welcoming.

Certified through the Kane School of Core Integration, a student of Gyrotonic and a dedicated pupil of anatomy guru Irene Dowd, Andersen developed her method — Pilates based on modern anatomy and movement — Pilates for the 21^st century. She has created intelligent workouts that are challenging and safe for the body, while provoking an intense body and mind relationship and a better understanding of movement, which can help prevent injury.
