Meet Our Instructors

Cori has called Camarillo Pilates home for the last 9 years. She and her husband Jimmy happily took ownership of the studio in March of 2014. Pilates has been a therapeutic, strengthening and energizing presence in her life and has kept her free of the chronic back pain that resulted from a fracture to her spine during a snowboarding accident in 2002. It is Cori’s goal to provide each and every client with the sense of renewed energy, grace and total wellness that she has discovered in Pilates. Cori is a BASI certified Pilates Instructor with a specialization in Women’s health. She has additional certification and licensing in prenatal pilates, postnatal pilates, and bone health with plans to continue her studies in the areas menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction, MS and post-operative breast cancer rehabilitation.

Jimmy studied martial arts for 15 years, receiving his first Black Belt at the age of 11. In his mid 20’s he noticed the onset of hip and lower back pain but was determined not to allow it to get any worse. He began his journey into healthy, mindful movement after watching the positive effect it had on Cori’s back injury. Once Jimmy began doing Pilates, he immediately noticed its potential, not just for him, but for everyone. After becoming part of the local Pilates community, he was introduced to Foundation Training. After just a few sessions, it was apparent that this was the obvious next step in his search for optimum back strength. The results were so strong that he wanted to share its power within his own studio. He completed the Foundation Training Instructor course and received his certification in June 0f 2017. He currently teaches all Foundation Training sessions at Camarillo Pilates.

Harmony started Pilates in June 2009 to get her body back in shape after having a baby. Pilates was a new exercise experience for her and she ended up loving it so much that she decided to take the BASI comprehensive instructor course. Transitioning into teaching Pilates is not a far stretch for Harmony. She is a certified athletic trainer (sports medicine) with a Bachelor’s degree in Sport Sciences and a Master’s degree in Physical Education/Outdoor Education.She has enjoyed working with a wide variety of populations, including athletes, elderly and those who exercise just to feel good. She enjoys blending Pilates with her other interests of running, walking, swimming and many other outdoor pursuits.

Recently, Pilates has helped enhance her training for full- and half-marathons. “I look forward to seeing how Pilates enhances other aspects of my life.”

Seth studied at Power Pilates in New York city, under the guidance of second generation masters Bob Liekens and Susan Moran. In addition to Pilates, Seth is also a personal trainer certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. While growing up in Idaho, Seth was very active riding horses and playing soccer, but it was studying dance at North Carolina School of the Arts that sparked his interest in fitness as a profession. After graduating with a BFA in Dance, he moved to New York to dance professionally, and found that, like most dancers, he needed a second career to support his dancing. Using his in-depth knowledge of the body and movement, Seth quickly became a sought-after fitness instructor for people looking to feel better through movement. His teaching merges west coast compassion with New York intensity and incorporates his experience in dance, yoga and traditional fitness modalities. He is very excited to find a home at Camarillo Pilates!
