The Heart Behind the Movement
Hi, I am Whitney, the creator behind Praiseworthy Pilates! I created Praiseworthy to blend my two loves and passions: my love for Christ and my love for mindful movement through pilates and yoga. My heart is to build a community that is growing stronger in Christ every day while also growing stronger in our bodies. I am so thrilled to be on this journey with you!
My Credentials
Yoga: I started teaching yoga in 2016 after completing a Group Exercise Instructor Certification through St. Cloud State University. I went on to receive my 200hr Yoga Certification from Yoga North Soma Yoga Institute in 2018. In 2022, I bought a yoga studio, and owned and managed the studio for 2 years before deciding to return back to my full time job in recruiting.
Pilates: After my yoga studio closed, I took up an interest in Pilates. In early 2025 I received my Mat Pilates Specialty Certification from NETA and began teaching Mat Pilates. In 2026, I decided to continue my pilates journey and become Pilates Reformer certified. I am currently working working towards becoming Reformer Pilates Certified through Balanced Body and am training with world renoewed Pilates Instructor, Tracey Mallett.
Collectively I have over 10 years of experience teaching group exercise classes.
