Sharon O’Donnell began searching the benefits of Pilates in response to her Lupus diagnosis, wanting to find an exercise methodology to build strength, flexibility and joint mobility. That search led her to BodyWave Pilates Studio owner, Janice Stark Gill, eight years ago. The regular bi-weekly classes created a passion for Pilates within Sharon.

That passion led her to the Core Dynamics teacher-training program to obtain certification. She worked with teacher trainers Scott Meyers and Karina Richter of Westside Pilates and is fully certified in all four levels of the Core Dynamics training, including 450 hours of observing, teaching, assisting and anatomy. Sharon is a member of The Pilates Method Alliance and IDEA Health & Fitness Association..

A graduate of The Ohio State University, currently also a business executive, Sharon loves to share Joseph Pilate’s principles to work mind and body as one. Pilates is a method – and a way of life.
