Mariah Mcqueen
Studio Owner
Master of Physical TherapyCertified Pilates InstructorLicensed GYROTONIC Trainer
Mariah began her movement journey at an early age to correct imbalances in her body’s musculoskeletal alignment from scoliosis. Her physical therapy experience opened new doors in the Pilates world, adding greater depth and dimension to the work. She found that through the exercises on the apparatus, she could detect asymmetries in the body and subsequently work to correct faulty movement patterns and achieve greater balance and fluidity. The energizing nature and precision of the exercises fed her creative, fun-loving side in a way that conventional physical therapy rehab techniques had not. The Pilates principles of centering, breath, control and integration incorporated easily into activities of daily living, thereby raising one’s awareness of the body in space.
Continuing on the path, Mariah began training in the GYROTONIC® method in 2006. Similarly, GYROTONIC® opened a whole new world of movement and breath—powerful life forces with tremendous healing potential.
Whether in the physical therapy setting or in the studio where she spends much of her time encouraging her clients to reach a little further, Mariah continues to follow her calling. As an experienced trainer in the Pilates and GYROTONIC®methods, she shares her passion and inspiration for healing through mindful movement.
Mariah obtained her undergraduate degree in Physical Education and Sports Medicine in 1992 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then a Master of Physical Therapy from Old Dominion University in 1998.
She began practicing physical therapy in the acute care setting, opening a private practice for Pilates-based rehab in 2001. Creating a cash-based niche for Pilates, she decided to pursue Pilates and GYROTONIC® training full-time in her private studio. Mariah holds multiple certifications in the Pilates method from Powerhouse Institute and Balanced Body. She is a Licensed Level 1 and Level 2 GYROTONIC® trainer.
