Hillary Brown

Hillary is a Master Pilates Instructor, Movement Education Specialist and Body Wizard. 

She relocated back to Salt Lake City after living in Honolulu, Hawaii for 17 Years where she owned and directed Manoa Dance Studio (MDS). When she started MDS, many thought she was simply teaching kids the basics, when she was, in fact, learning to dance again herself.

 In 2008, Hillary suffered a major stroke that left her unable to speak and rendered her right side paralyzed. After a risky brain surgery, she nurtured her recovery over several years with Pilates, which enabled her to make leaps and bounds in her recovery and allowed her to return to her first passion, dancing.

Hillary now holds several certifications in Pilates, including one from Streamline in 2014. With over 25 years of teaching experience and using her unique blends of Pilates, Self Myofascial Release, Yoga, and Physical Therapy techniques, she specializes in pain relief, pre and post surgery, injury prevention and recovery, as well as overcoming other life’s challenges. Her clients range from teens to seniors. 

Hillary sees one constant thread running through her life— her passion for empowering people through movement.
