Ariel Wang is a certified comprehensive Pilates instructor through Power4 Pilates’ Teacher Training program and is working towards her 2nd comprehensive certification through Balanced Body. She has a background and full-time career in environmental engineering. Born and raised in China, Ariel discovered Pilates in 2020, right after graduating from Stanford University. At the time, she was dealing with chronic back pain and soon found out she had scoliosis and postural imbalances. Pilates became her path to healing—helping her reconnect with her body, build strength, and find balance.

Inspired by her own journey, Ariel now supports others in feeling better through mindful movement. She loves how Pilates is accessible to everybody and offers a sustainable, empowering way to move and live. Ariel teaches in both English and Mandarin and incorporates a variety of Pilates apparatuses to create thoughtful, personalized sessions.

Fun fact: She came to Pilates from zero athletic background and now swears by it more than coffee (almost)—though she was once a barista!
