Jon Scott Owen is one of a small force of only 18 Pilates teachers in the world that were hand picked by first generation luminary Jay Grimes to receive certificates in both of his highly selective graduate programs, "The Work" and "Teaching the Work".

Jon began his journey with Contrology in 2000 studying for a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre at the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory. After moving to NYC and working as an actor he continued to utilize the Pilates method under the watchful eye of Jeanette Palmer.

In 2017 Jon was honored by Gratz Industries as a featured teacher in their Equipment Gallery.

Laura Gunder is a classically trained Pilates instructor based in New York City, where she completed her 500 hours of comprehensive training under the guidance of Jennifer Deluca. Always a student, Laura continues her training and education with Katie Yip. Laura has taught private and group lessons for Equinox, and now works independently.

Laura’s introduction to Pilates comes from her experience and history as a professional ballet dancer — searching for a complimentary cross-training method to supplement her dancing. Trained in the Balanchine method at the School of American Ballet in NYC, Laura danced professionally with Pacific Northwest Ballet and Kansas City Ballet before transitioning her focus to Pilates education. Laura graduated from the New School with a BA in liberal arts focusing on global studies, sociology, and gender studies.

Laura is passionate about helping her clients - of all ages and experience levels - deepen their understanding and connection to their bodies and physical selves. Using the classical Pilates method, Laura tailors each session to the body before her, learning as much from them as they do from her.

Levi Nordquist is both a patient teacher and a perpetual student. He was first introduced to Pilates in 2010 and completed his original 500hr comprehensive training with Dorothee VandeWalle in Seattle, Washington. After many years of continuing education, he attended and graduated from the 600hr Pilates Professional Advanced Teacher Training.

As an insatiable nerd, Levi has studied and certified in a diverse spectrum of other movement methods including Yoga, Strength Training, Handstands, Martial Arts, and more. Pilates and anatomical acuity have always been the grounding force as he explores each new modality, as well as a deep thirst for understanding the “why” behind the “what.” He currently continues his academic work at the Institute of Structural Medicine to become a licensed Structural Integrator.

Levi believes that the vast Pilates repertoire can empower students of all levels. Having studied with numerous brilliant minds, he speaks many different movement languages and can break complex concepts into simple pieces that are easy to recognize.

When Levi is not teaching, you can find him on the nearest mountain peak contemplating the meaning of life or monkeying around Manhattan searching for the Man with the Yellow Hat.
