INSTRUCTORS
Dallas Everleth
Dallas Everleth is an educator, Pilates instructor, massage therapist, and huge anatomy nerd. She is the owner and program director of Center Strength.
Her practice focuses on rehabilitation; she has helped clients use Pilates to manage a variety of conditions including spinal injuries, joint replacement, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, chronic pain conditions, and repetitive strain injuries. Since 1999, she has worked with clients of all ages, fitness levels, and conditions to move better, feel better, learn about their bodies, and take charge of their own health and wellbeing.
Dallas comes to Pilates with a love of the body in motion and an appreciation of how important movement is to your body. These come from years as a competitive figure skater and later as a yoga instructor and finally as a Pilates instructor.
Learning about the body and how it moves is her passion and she is grateful to be able to continue to grow as a Pilates instructor, studying, training, and learning from her clients.
Dallas is also a massage therapist. She is certified in Applied Motor Control and the Hendrickson Method. She is excited to continue studying manual therapy and is currently completing her visceral massage training with the Barral Institute. She finds the combination of manual therapy and movement invaluable for managing pain and dysfunctional movement patterns, allowing clients to recover from injuries and get back to living their lives.
In an effort to more fully understand how the body informs the mind, Dallas studied Psychology & Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley.
Dallas is a Balanced Body University faculty member and, since 2005, has presented at conferences nationally and internationally, developing anatomy and Pilates workshops of special interest to movement educators and body workers.
The World Health Organization defines health as “not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Rather health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.” Dallas hopes to further this commitment in her own small way by teaching people about how their bodies work and how to live in them, educating instructors, and being part of a community of like-minded teachers committed to the same goal.
