Gretchen LaWall is the owner of Your Body Pilates® located in Reno, NV.
Though Gretchen started practicing Pilates as a young dancer in North Carolina, her passion for the Pilates Method wasn't realized until she was introduced to the Fletcher Pilates® method in 2009 while training for her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance at the University of Arizona. In the fall of 2011, she began the Fletcher Pilates Program of Study under the direction of Kyria Sabin and Deborah Mendoza.
After thousands of hours of practice and over 13 years of teaching in big cities like Chicago and San Francisco, Gretchen is very excited to own a Pilates studio of her very own. It is Gretchen’s passion to share her love of movement with you and to help educate the next generation of Fletcher Pilates Teachers. Outside of Pilates, you can find Gretchen dancing professionally with Nevada Dance Company or enjoying the outside with friends, family and dog Chewie.
