About Instructor

 Nara, born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, has dedicated most of her life to practicing and teaching classical music. She graduated from a music college with a major in classical music composition and received a full scholarship at one of Korea's top universities. During her college years, she studied as an exchange student at Syracuse University in the U.S. At her family's suggestion, she also pursued a modeling career and won first place in the Elite Model competition. While in her early twenties, she balanced her studies with her work as a runway model. To maintain her physique, Nara embraced Pilates and obtained her first Pilates certification from the Korea International Pilates Association in South Korea.


In 2012, Nara moved to the U.S. after completing her college education. She started her career as a private piano teacher at Frisco ISD but eventually transitioned from teaching music to teaching Pilates as her son grew up. She earned her second Pilates license from Peak Pilates, one of the world-renowned Pilates certificates. Nara found joy and passion in Pilates and it became her most gratifying pursuit after music. She gained diverse work experiences at multiple Pilates studios, including Club Pilates, LifeTime Fitness, Equinox Fitness, and others, expanding her knowledge of different Pilates methodologies through her training at each location.


In addition to her music and Pilates background, Nara pursued a major in Nursing Science at the University of Texas in Arlington and is currently on hiatus from her studies. This gives her a deep understanding of human anatomy and physiology.


Two years ago, Nara reconnected with a U.S.-based modeling agency and resumed her modeling career while continuing her work in Pilates.

She has been teaching at Lifetime Fitness, Equinox Fitness, Body Bar Pilates, Club Pilates, Platinum Pilates, and IM=X Pilates.
