Owner & Lead Instructor
Silja Meier Burns
With over 23 years of teaching Pilates and movement, Silja brings a rare combination of expertise, passion, and warmth to every session. A former advanced ballerina and Class IV whitewater rafting guide, she discovered the healing power of Pilates after her own back and hip challenges.
STOTT PILATES® comprehensively certified since 2002 — often called "the Harvard of Pilates" — Silja created Dancing Hammock to offer what she calls "the perfect system of spinal fitness," blending Pilates with aerial decompression and low-impact rebounding.
"Her nurturing demeanor and keen eye for proper form creates an encouraging atmosphere for clients of all abilities."
Currently pursuing certification as a Postural Neurologist and working toward becoming a Pilates Instructor Trainer to develop more certified instructors in the Lowcountry region.
