Lauri Martineau Pilates
Private Lessons
Lauri graduated with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Behavioral Psychology in 2002 but switched her career focus after watching an infomercial on Pilates!

Lauri studied under Lead Instructor Trainers Eva Powers & Kim Dunleavy and Instructor Trainers Gayle Eubanks & Amy Slowik. She earned her full STOTT PILATES Certification and also became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer in 2007. She has since participated in dozens of continuing education courses to keep up to date on the latest research regarding the most effective techniques in the fitness industry. Lauri is currently working on becoming an Active for Life Specialist, which she is on track to achieve in 2022.
Lauri would describe her teaching style as fun, with a focus on quality and safety. She always strives to learn and understand more about the mindful movement of our bodies. Her goal is to have you leave your class or private session feeling uplifted and accomplished. Lauri is grateful to be a part of the BLOOM Pilates family and she looks forward to working out with you in the studio.

She has enjoyed sharing it as a teacher with all age groups for over twenty years in college and studio settings. Currently, Kate is a Y5’s teacher at Linden Community Schools.

Jenna Taylor Yoga
Jenna has been a dancer from a young age and has continued to stay involved with performing arts through college as a member of the dance team. After graduating from college with a business management degree, she was looking for an outlet like dance. Yoga effortlessly took that role both challenging her physically while also incorporating a new element of mindfulness that came along with practicing yoga. After finding passion in the practice of yoga, Jenna became a certified yoga instructor.
As a teacher, Jenna emphasizes alignment and bringing the body back into balance by helping students overcome a-symmetrical muscle and flexibility imbalances. Teaching at bloom has allowed Jenna to share her passion with others and make a lasting impact on people’s physical fitness as well as helping students foster a healthy relationship with themselves.
