Meet the Team: Emily Udelhofen
We’re thrilled to welcome Emily to the Niche team! While she’s new to the Richmond area and to our studio, Emily is no stranger to Pilates. She brings 20 years of Pilates experience to Niche.
What other roles do you have at Niche?
I’m also playing a key role in refining the Niche Instructor Training (NIT) curriculum, helping shape the next generation of Niche instructors. This role feels familiar to me, as I previously worked alongside a Pilates studio owner in Madison, Wisconsin, to develop an instructor training program of our own. I’ve been working with future Pilates instructors ever since.
What advice would you give to a Pilates instructor that is just starting their teacher journey?
The more you know the work in your own body, the better you will be able to communicate it to your clients!
Emily will be teaching each type of reformer and apparatus classes, so be sure to check the schedule and snag your spot. Her teaching style is detail-oriented, accessible, and fun, with a focus on making Pilates movement approachable for everybody. Don’t be surprised if a Pilates ball makes an appearance in class!We’re so lucky to have her—welcome, Emily!
