NYC TEACHERS
Summer Reed, Instructor and Co-founder
Summer Reed was one of the youngest Romana's Pilates instructors to ever be certified. With 10 years of teaching under her belt and opening her own business before the age of 30, she has an energetic yet wise approach to her work.
Originally from Austin, TX, Summer was a professional ballerina. She was selected as an American Ballet Theater National Training Scholar for 5 consecutive years and danced in Pittsburgh until injuries led her to Romana's Pilates.
Over the years Summer has enjoyed playing soccer, water/snow skiing, and working with her grandfather on his farm. She also plays flute and guitar, and loves cooking for friends and family. She has scoliosis, and the pain relief she gets from Pilates allows her to make it through the hardest workout of all - babysitting her niece and nephew!
Virginia Tschirhart, Instructor
Virginia Tschirhart, originally from Atlanta Georgia, completed her 600 hour Classical Pilates Training through Real Pilates in New York City, and has continued her career and education under the supervision of Summer Reed at LAB Pilates NY. She started her Pilates training while she was a Modern Dance major at TCU. She continued studying with teachers in Atlanta, Georgia where she also studied yoga and mind-body medicine. She realized the power of Pilates benefits her health physically and mentally, not only in the dance studio but in her everyday life. In harmony with her passion for holistic healing, she finds Pilates as a medium through which wellbeing can translate and begin.
“I strive to meet clients where they are, motivating them to find a deep and new connection with their bodies. I find joy in offering any tools I have gained through my various teachers. Ultimately, I hope my clients discover a strength that inspires confidence in their everyday life!”
Jamie Jeu, Instructor
Jamie brings a wealth of experience to LAB Pilates, having previously owned a Pilates studio in Korea. Since her arrival in the United States, she has undergone additional thorough training under Cynthia Shipley in NYC, impressing even the most seasoned Pilates clients with her challenging and thoughtful sessions.
