About Your Instructor
Yvette Massoudi
I am a Certified Pilates Mat instructor who trained with Linda Farrell in LindaFit’s Teacher Training program in 2018.
Chronic upper body and lower back pain led me to explore a number of fitness and healing modalities such as yoga, physical therapy, neuromuscular training, and Alexander Technique. Yet I soon discovered that most exercises my physical therapist prescribed were Pilates-based. This inspired me to become an instructor to help others experience the great results of Pilates Mat work.
I loved teaching in-person at studios and private homes throughout New York City, yet I wasn't sure how to continue when the pandemic hit. Once I started offering classes online, I soon realized that the classes were just as effective and much more convenient!
Pilates has helped me to reduce my pain and increase my strength and mobility after experiencing chronic back issues. I truly enjoy introducing others to all the benefits Pilates has to offer.
I also work with individual clients in their own homes or via Zoom to provide specialized exercise programs for participants with a variety of physical challenges and limitations. I also teach at New York Athletic Club, Broadway Dance Center, Pilates on Fifth, and in private residential programs. I am a model for LindaFit’s online Pilates Mat classes.
