Born and raised in West LA, Meryl is an experienced fitness instructor with a creative spirit that shines through everything she does. Her past lives as a photographer, artist agent, and project manager shaped the precise approach she now brings to Pilates, as well as her love for keeping people energized and engaged. Meryl believes that movement is more than exercise; it’s a powerful tool for empowerment and rehabilitation. Her teaching style balances serious attention to form and alignment with a playful, light-hearted energy that makes every class feel welcoming and fun. She loves creating an environment where students feel safe to explore, laugh, and build confidence. When she’s not teaching, you’ll find Meryl searching for the best coffee and vegan baked goods in LA and exploring parks and beaches with her husband and their rescue Pomeranian, Nico. She’s also learning Farsi, mostly so she can gossip with her in-laws.
