Meet Joey, Senior Pilates Instructor at Citizen Pilates Houston

Joey is a former dancer and longtime Pilates practitioner with over fifteen years of experience in the method. Originally from Laredo, Texas, he discovered Pilates while studying dance at The University of Texas at Austin, where he earned his B.A. in Dance.

After graduating, Joey moved to Chicago, where he worked in arts administration while continuing to deepen his Pilates practice and understanding of movement, form, and body awareness.

In 2017, Joey relocated to Houston and quickly found his professional home at Citizen Pilates. What began as a client relationship evolved into a teaching career, and in 2019 he officially joined the Citizen Pilates instructor team.
