Hallee Altman, owner of The Center Studio®, is a second-generation Pilates instructor who has been teaching the Pilates method since 2001. At her successful Pilates studio on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Hallee and eleven instructors are changing bodies and lives. Hallee has been teaching the M.E.L.T method for the past two years in both private sessions and group fitness classes. She has found the most benefit in sharing MELT with her Pilates clients: not only giving MELT a voice in the Pilates community, but also empowering her clients to understand and make changes in their bodies in new ways. Hallee has worked with numerous clients including those who are Pre/post-natal, post-surgery, athletes, and weekend warriors; those who have an injury, pain, or body discomfort; and those who want to lose weight or counteract the affects of aging. Hallee graduated summa cum laude from Emory University with a degree in Psychology, and earned a Master's degree in Dance Education from NYU. As a creative movement teacher, social skills educator and published author, Hallee incorporated her professional and academic education by teaching children with special needs to discover the power of movement and nonverbal communication.
