Jenna Graham

Jenna, originally from Oklahoma City, was introduced to Pilates as a young ballet student. While attending SLK ballet, a pre-professional ballet school in New York City, Jenna turned to pilates for cross training and to address muscle imbalances. Taking private sessions from Carrie Kenneally (Level 4 Romana’s Pilates instructor and widely known in the NYC dance community), Jenna soon saw that Pilates not only improved her ballet technique and daily posture, but it also created an understanding of the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Instead of being angry at imperfections and weaknesses, Pilates offered a space to work through those things with patience and care. Jenna hopes for clients to experience this mind, body, and spirit connection, addressing the needs of the whole person through the ingenious and challenging work of Joseph Pilates.  

A contract with the Alabama Ballet brought Jenna to Birmingham in 2014. Soon after, she began to work towards a Pilates certification and now holds a comprehensive Pilates certification through Peak Pilates. Jenna joined the Aero Joe team in 2016 and has since taught in the Birmingham area as well as in Oklahoma City and in New York City.
