Lindy has been passionately teaching classical Pilates for over twenty years in Texas. Her introduction to Pilates came early, as a supplemental conditioning and injury prevention method for ballet dancers during her youth. Throughout her teen years, Lindy attended ballet summer long intensive training programs, including those at Boston Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, and Ballet Austin. She pursued her love of ballet at Texas Christian University, where she majored in ballet and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Pilates was an integral part of her dance curriculum.
By her early twenties, the many years of rigorous training and rehearsal resulted in a chronic repetitive use injury, Achilles Tendinitis. She experienced persistent pain and inflammation, compounded by musculoskeletal imbalances that had gone unaddressed. Frustrated and discouraged, Lindy began an intensive study of the classical Pilates method. She was amazed by how quickly and effectively Pilates alleviated inflammation—not only in her tendon, but throughout her joints. Equally powerful were the positive mental benefits Pilates provided. Feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated, Lindy decided to dedicate herself to teaching and sharing her passion for Pilates with others.
She currently holds over 1,500 hours of comprehensive teacher training in the classical Pilates method, including graduating from what is considered the “Harvard of Pilates Education”—the Advanced Teacher Training Comprehensive and Master’s Programs at The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado. Her initial instructor training was completed through Colleen Glenn’s classical comprehensive program, The PilateSystem, in Dallas, Texas in 2002/2003. Lindy completed the Classical Syllabus in 2019 with Mejo Wiggin, a world-renowned teacher of teachers. Lindy was then invited by Mejo Wiggin to participate in an exclusive, invitation-only workshop, Beyond the Syllabus, in 2022 alongside instructors from across the nation based on Lindy’s physical capability, comprehensive knowledge, and dedication to the traditional classical Pilates method, exploring the highest levels of the work.
Lindy graduated with honors from Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing in 2010. Her clinical rotations and experience as an operating room nurse in vascular surgery deepened her commitment to health and well-being. Witnessing the impact of illness and disease strengthened her passion for the holistic benefits Pilates offers, including enhanced breathing, circulation, and oxygenation.
Her nursing background provides a solid foundation in anatomy, physiology, and pathology, enabling her to work confidently with diverse populations -including those with chronic musculoskeletal conditions and systemic pathologies. She has worked extensively with clients across the lifespan—from children as young as four to seniors in their nineties. She specializes in prenatal Pilates, supporting women in building pelvic and spinal strength for healthy pregnancy and delivery. She also helps postpartum women recover and strengthen their core, addressing conditions such as Diastasis Recti and Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction.
Over the course of her Pilates career, Lindy has become a seasoned professional—teaching in a variety of boutique studios, athletic organizations, and leading educational lectures and demonstrations. She has also served as an affiliate advising mentor for teacher trainees through The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado. Along the way, she developed and grew her own studio, Authentic Pilates of Austin, grounded in the integrity and methodology of classical Pilates.
In 2019, Lindy was honored with the “Who’s Who in America” designation in recognition of her professional expertise and her contributions to humanity through the promotion of health and well-being. In 2020, she brought Authentic Pilates to the Aledo community after relocating with her sweet son.
Lindy is deeply grateful to the Aledo and greater Fort Worth communities for their warm reception and shared appreciation for the depth and quality of the Pilates experience she offers. Her work is devoted not only to improving physical health and overall well-being, but also to empowering individuals—restoring a sense of peace, vitality, and renewed spirit.
Looking ahead, Lindy is thrilled to share the depth of her knowledge and experience by mentoring and educating the next generation of Pilates instructors. In 2025, she will launch her inaugural Classical, Fully Comprehensive Authentic Pilates Teacher Training Program—a reflection of her strong commitment to preserving the integrity of the Pilates method as it was originally developed by Joseph Pilates. Through this program, Lindy aims to cultivate deeply knowledgeable, skilled, and thoughtful teachers who embody the classical philosophy and approach of Joseph Pilates and his direct lineage successors, carrying forward the legacy of this transformative practice with authenticity, precision, and purposeful intent.
