Brie Adina Neff

Brie Adina Neff is Director and Senior Certified Instructor at Equilibrium Pilates. She stumbled upon Pilates 13 years ago at Temple University where she earned a BFA in Dance. After a severe neck injury destroyed her career in dance, she sought out Pilates teaching certification through master teacher Romana Kryzanowska and daughter Sari Mejia Santo where she began extensive private instruction. Upon completion of her teaching certificate, she intensified her training with Romana following her to New York, Brazil, Texas, and Paris (summer of 2005!). Brie has taught Pilates all over Philadelphia as well as New York, New Jersey, and as guest instructor in Boston, MA and Rome, Italy as well as assisting her teachers in Brazil, Florida, and Texas. Seeing the need for quality Pilates instruction in Center City, Philadelphia, she opened Equilibrium Pilates in April of 2002. She continues to study privately with Romana and Sari in her quest to provide the purest and most effective form of Pilates available. In 2004 she received the tremendous honor of being hand picked from hundreds of candidates world-wide to become Level 3 representative and teacher trainer for Romana's Pilates®. Brie also works as faculty at University of the Arts where she runs the Pilates program within the Dance Department. She was recently appointed to the prestigious position of Senior Lecturer. Brie recently won Philadelphia Magazine's "2005 Best of Philly" award in the "Best Personal Pilates" category.
