An important “tool” of Pilates is the instructor. But choosing a Pilates instructor to train with can feel a little like speed dating—not only do you want a certified and trained professional, you want someone you get along with! So we’re going to make things easy for you with our “Get to Know Your Ballet Austin Pilates Instructor” blog series, and ask each of our certified Pilates Instructors a few questions. First up: Felicia McBride!

Certified Pilates Instructor Felicia McBride
- Who’s your favorite Austin musician?
My favorite Austin musician would have to be a drummer by the name of Brandon Guerra. He plays at The Elephant Room, The Brass House, The Gatsby, and Lambert’s. Although, you could say I’m biased since I’m engaged to him ☺ - What’s your favorite restaurant?
I’d have to say my favorite restaurant right now is Ramen Tatsuya. I love having that big bowl of noodles right in front of me to devour! - What’s your favorite outdoor activity?
I love riding my bike on Townlake and going to Barton Springs in the summer. - What do you do on your free time?
In my free time I am either dancing, cooking, or working on a 1000 piece puzzle.
- What’s one interesting fact about you?
One interesting thing about me is that I have one extra rib on the left side of my neck!
