With over four years immersed in the Pilates field, Armani completed her comprehensive certification through Balanced Body. Her career began in the study of cognition, earning a Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science from the University of California, Merced. This foundation in understanding the mind’s role in human behavior naturally evolved into a passion for the mind-body connection that Pilates embodies. Armani’s journey with Pilates began as an athlete seeking a practice that complemented both strength and mobility. Growing up with scoliosis, she experienced firsthand how Pilates can rehabilitate the body, improve alignment, and restore confidence in movement. Her experience working in a physical therapy setting has allowed her to tailor programs for clients recovering from injury and managing chronic conditions, including but not limited to scoliosis, frozen shoulder, and hip and knee injuries. Armani’s approach is attentive and restorative, with a focus on alignment, injury prevention, and the mind-body connection. She believes Pilates is for everyone and encourages progress over perfection as the key to cultivating resilience and vitality in both body and mind—growth that feels sustainable and empowering.
