Théa Newhouse started practicing Pilates in 2008 in an Authentic Studio in her home state of Michigan. Diagnosed with severe asthma as a child, she craved movement but was unable to run or to do nearly any exercise without struggling to breathe. Théa read that Pilates was a good form of exercise for asthma patients and decided to check it out – at the end of her first lesson, she thought “I could actually be good at this!”. Not only did Théa’s asthma improve, but so did her posture, her back pain, and her flexibility. After Théa’s move to Reno, she began taking lessons with Kimberly Lenzi and realized that not only did she want to practice Pilates, she wanted to teach others. Théa apprenticed under Kim, earning her first certification with the Pilates Method Alliance in May 2011. In the years following, Théa has continued to build her knowledge, attending many workshops and conferences with world renowned instructors. In 2019, she completed Dana Santi’s Advanced Teacher Training program in Chicago. In 2024, Théa graduated from Kathryn Ross-Nash’s Pilates Professional Advanced Teacher Training in Bradenton, FL. Théa finds the Pilates method as fascinating as its results and strives to teach her clients movement that can help them to live their best lives.
