Viviana Vargas

Viviana graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and went on to build a successful wedding & event planning business. It wasn't until years later that her interest in Pilates became an obvious connection with her passion for helping people reach their goals and finding a healthy balance between living and being.

"In 2010, I was given the rare opportunity to go back to my home country of Uruguay for eight months. I spent much of this time thinking about my personal purpose. A question which is asked often by many, I discovered that for me, my purpose is and has always been that of a support system and coach to help people reach their goals." This "Aha!" moment led her to explore Pilates professionally, and soon thereafter, she received her Matwork Certification under the guidance of Veronica Ponieman, Director and Founder of VP Educación Continua Latinoamerica, Internationally supported by Michael King Pilates and Kathy Corey West Coast Pilates.

Viviana teaches mat classes at Pilates on Pinecroft and will be adding Reformer training as well. She is fluent in Spanish and English.
