History of Clare Stelling Pilates Studio
Clare first opened her doors in 2000 with the ONLY fully equipped Pilates studio in the Hudson Valley’s Rockland County. She ran that studio for 5 successful years before moving her location to the beautiful town of Ridgewood NJ, just 20 minutes southwest of Rockland. Clare provided utmost attention to detail, and care for her clients with a staff of well trained Pilates professionals that brought outstanding awarness to the area while Pilates was still in its infancy. There are now more than 10 studios in Rockland and the surrounding areas, and Clare is happy to have had an influence in the popularity it now has. While Clare re-opened a private fully equipped studio in Ridgewood, she also teaches mat classes for the employees at Wyeth Inc., Art of Motion Dance Studio, and has guest taught at studios across Bergen County, as well as the Jersey Shore. She maintains C.E.U.’s with workshops and research in specialty areas such as Osteoporosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Scoliosis, Gait, and Peri-Natal Pilates.
Clare Stelling, Owner
Clare was initially a dancer, and has taught modern dance for over 15 years. Clare received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Emerson College in Boston, 1985. She worked with physical therapists in sports medicine, neuromuscular dysfunction, pediatrics, AND with occupational therapists in hand rehab. Clare received certification in Massage Therapy in California, 1996, where she was first introduced to Pilates.
Clare went through the 2-year certification program in Pilates mat in San Francisco, and the machines program in Los Angeles through Physicalmind Institute. She completed her certification in New York City and moved to Martha's Vineyard MA to institute the first PIlates program on the Island before moving back to New York to open the official Clare Stelling Pilates Studio!

Clare is pointing out how to perform "Imprinting", a fundamental exercise to help stabilize the pelvis and imprint the back bones into the floor while lifting the head. Clare ran a weekend series of mat classes in 2002, while commuting each week from her Rockland studio from June-September. It was the first and only Pilates Mat program offered on LBI at that time.
