Meet the Founder

Silja Meier Burns

With over 23 years of teaching Pilates and movement, Silja brings a rare combination of expertise, passion, and warmth. A former advanced ballerina and Class IV whitewater guide, she discovered the healing power of Pilates after her own back and hip challenges.

She created Dancing Hammock to offer what she calls "the perfect system of spinal fitness" — blending traditional and contemporary Pilates on professional Merrithew equipment with AntiGravity® spinal decompression and Bellicon® lymphatic drainage.
