Donna Longo

Donna Longo was fortunate to have been trained under the direct tutelage of Romana Kryzanowska in 1992. She discovered Pilates as a professional ballet dancer when an injury brought her to Performing Arts Physical Therapy in NYC. Donna received her certification, and was asked by Romana to help facilitate the training of the apprentices at their Los Angeles studio, which led her on the path of teacher training. She later worked for Sichel Chiropractic, now Power Pilates, and various other medical professionals in NYC before opening her own studio in New Jersey in 1995. After more than 20 years, Donna is still, more than ever, dedicated to preserving not only the method as it was handed down to her but also the style of teacher training and personal mentorship that she learned from Romana, hoping to inspire others in the same way. Pilates is not just a great workout regimen, but an amazing array of tools to support a lifetime of health and vitality. The studio also offers a meditation garden with outside space to workout, an Infrared sauna, and Thai Yoga Bodywork.
