MEET OUR TEAM
Amanda K. Smith
Founder/Owner/Pilates Instructor
I believe that movement can be the joyful conduit that connects us all...
Amanda is a master Pilates instructor with over 28 years of experience teaching movement. She founded Core Integrity Pilates in 2005 after receiving her Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Power Pilates NYC, among many others. She holds a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from UNCG and has been performing professionally and teaching all over North Carolina since 2002.
My superpower is NOT in teaching Pilates... it is in teaching the BODY IN FRONT OF ME, where it is on that particular day, and finding creative ways to help EVERYONE feel connected to each exercise in their own beautifully diverse body.
Amanda is proud mother to Everly Louise and Smith Sullivan; and partner to the love of her life, Lucas Thomas. Together they live in Greensboro along with rescued fur baby, Annabelle Marie. You can bet wherever she is, there is a diffuser wafting essential oils, a couple of crystals in her pocket and something chocolate nearby! She loves dancing, animals, laughter, old school hip-hop, playing outdoors, being with her kiddos, eating fish tacos, weaving dreamcatchers and creating other eclectic art.
Her goal is to make authentic Pilates available to ALL BODIES in ALL SEASONS OF LIFE, and to usher people through the experience feeling seen, empowered and truly connected to the exercises. Many people have the misconception that they need to be or look or feel a certain way BEFORE starting Pilates... and that could not be farther from the truth.
My pre-requisites for Pilates are 1) a beating heart, and 2) at least one moveable joint! If you've got those things going for ya, you are the perfect candidate! Pilates meets us where we ARE... not where we think we 'should' be.
Amanda is constantly seeking opportunities to co-create and share her healing gifts with others. She truly looks forward to the chance to work with, move and know YOU.
Hope Wolfe
Hope has been in love with movement since the age of 4 when she first began dancing. She received her B.A. in Dance Studies from Appalachian State University and has continued to dance periodically since attaining her degree. This led her to discover Pilates under the tutelage of Marianne Adams and Rebecca Quin during her time at Appalachian State. It was there that she pursued her Pilates certification, becoming a 3rd generation classical instructor in a lineage descending from Romana Kryzanowska. She is comprehensively trained in both mat and apparatus.
Hope’s passion for movement and her continued desire to learn led her to the GYROTONIC®️ Expansion System. She is now a certified GYROTONIC®️ Level 1 Pre-Trainer, GYROTONIC®️Level 2 instructor, and GYROKINESIS®️Level 1 Pre-Trainer. She is also certified on the Jump Stretch Board, Archway and Gyrotoner. In addition she has studied GYROTONIC®️ applications for Osteoporosis, Scoliosis, the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, scoliosis and the psoas.
Hope is thrilled to bring her enthusiasm for this method to Core Integrity Pilates and to Greensboro and help others on their path to healing and happier moving!
