Senior Pilates Instructor

Certified Pilates Instructor, Shannon Slovensky Wells, first discovered Posture Studio in 2006 as a client while working to help correct sports-related misalignment. With a fitness and sports medicine background, she was fascinated that much of what she was learning at the studio was never addressed in “school”.

Shannon went on to study with Carla Shifflett at Posture Studio and eventually received a STOTT PILATES® certification in 2009.  Most recently, she has gained a new perspective on the wonder of the human body after the birth of her two children.  

Shannon holds an undergraduate degree in Health Sciences and a masters degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology from UVA.  She has a passion for helping people improve their health through pain-free movement and has taught at Posture on-and-off for a decade, adjacent to work in cardiac rehab, clinical cardiology, and exercise physiology research. She holds certifications in STOTT PILATES®, yoga, and barre and incorporates bits of each of these into her classes.   

Shannon continues to study Pilates and posture as a compliment to hiking, yoga and chasing around two children.
