Danielle Poole, Founder

Danielle has been teaching classical Pilates since 2014. She moved to Maine from Boston in 2016 and opened a boutique Pilates studio on Vinalhaven Island. In 2023 she moved to the mainland and established Thrive Pilates in Rockport.


"I started my movement career as a yoga teacher, landing my first teaching job at a Pilates studio where I was introduced to the classical method. I loved how Pilates and yoga complimented each other and how both practices are physically and mentally challenging, athletic and therapeutic all at once."


Interested in sharing her practice with others, her teacher training includes a Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Certification from O2 Yoga, Children’s Yoga Basics from Childlight Yoga, 40-Hour Prenatal Yoga Certification from Still Point Healing, Barre Boston Certification from Endurance Pilates and Yoga, and 1000-Hour Comprehensive Classical Pilates training from Endurance Pilates and Yoga.
