Born in South Korea, Bora’s movement journey began with Taekwondo and competitive ballroom dance, leading her to study Sports and Exercise Science at Seoul Women’s University.
After moving to New York in 2014, she began her Pilates instructor training and later discovered Romana’s Pilates through Sari Mejia Santo and Cynthia Shipley. Inspired by the depth and authenticity of the Classical Pilates method, Bora continued her studies and earned her Romana’s Pilates certification under the guidance of Cynthia Shipley.
Now based in Hawaii, Bora is dedicated to preserving Pilates as it was originally created. She believes authentic Classical Pilates can benefit everyone, supporting both physical and mental well-being. Her goal is to help each client develop a meaningful connection with the method and make Pilates a lifelong practice.
Bora teaches in both English and Korean.
