Julie Rose
With a degree in Dance and Social Work from Ohio University, Julie Rose headed to New York City to pursue a career in dance. While living in New York, she performed with David Dorfman, Terry Hollis, Tamieca McCloud and Stephan Koplowitz as well as choreographed and performed her own work. Her modern dance background naturally led her to Pilates in 1999, and Julie became certified in both the mat and apparatus from Power Pilates in 2003. While at Power Pilates, Julie audited the full training program again to obtain a Senior Teacher Trainer certification and title in 2005. Julie was Personal Pilates Instructor to Star Jones from "The View" for over a year and was even a guest on the show.
Ms. Rose is excited to bring Classical Pilates to Troy and to make The Collar City her new home with her husband, Bryan Kahrs and her puppy, Brooklyn.

In addition to her love of Pilates, Heather is also an avid runner, completing the Nike Women's Marathon in October of 2007. The benefits of adding Pilates to her training and the encouragement of Julie Rose led her to seek her beginner mat certification, which she obtained this summer.
