Rose Ries - Apprentice Instructor

Specialities Pilates Instructor

Teaching Since 2022

Rose is passionate about fitness, movement and helping others to feel stronger. Pilates is part of her regular routine, as well as jogging, weight training and rock climbing. Her first experience with Pilates was in California in 2017 when she started to have lower back pain after rock climbing. Pilates diminished lower back pain and developed overall body strength and mobility. She frequently climbs and Pilates has made her a stronger climber with more acute body awareness.

Rose is a fully credentialed educator in both the Province of British Columbia and the State of California and has taught for over 18 years. Her experience in education enabled her to understand all the diverse students encouraging them to be their best. Rose wanted to combine her love of teaching with Pilates. After moving back to Vancouver, she began the Balanced Body instructor training at Meridian with Heather and has loved every moment.

During her free time, Rose enjoys going for walks, hiking and spending time with her two sons and family.
