About

Hello and welcome! I’m Elena Salamone, and Pilates has been my life’s passion for more than two decades. My journey began at just sixteen, when I first experienced the transformative power of mindful movement. What started as a love for strength, grace, and connection quickly grew into a lifelong dedication to Pilates, fascia, and holistic body care.

Before stepping into the role of teacher and fascia specialist, I served as an Aerospace Medical Technician in the U.S. Air Force. There, through years of intensive training and three deployments, I gained a deep understanding of anatomy, body mechanics, and the resilience of the human spirit. This foundation shaped the way I approach movement—combining precision, alignment, and restoration for true, lasting results.

I’m a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher through the Pilates Method Alliance, a Level 4 Fascial Stretch Specialist from the Stretch to Win Institute, and a Board Certified Structural Integrator with Anatomy Trains. I’ve had the privilege of training directly with fascia visionaries Tom Myers and Sharon Wheeler, becoming certified in both Bonework and Scarwork. Over the years, I’ve owned and operated a successful Pilates studio, taught aspiring teachers, and helped clients across the globe reclaim mobility, strength, and freedom from pain.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in precision, mindfulness, and honoring the uniqueness of every body. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or refining an advanced practice, my mission is to guide you toward your highest physical potential.

Here at YouTubePilates, you’ll find the gold standard in Pilates and fascia—education, empowerment, and transformation, all designed to help you heal, strengthen, and align your life from the inside out.
