Meet Laura Wilson
Laura Wilson, CEO & Founder of Natural Pilates, immigrated to the United States from Romania in 2002 with just $100 and a vision. In 2005, she opened her flagship studio in Beverly Hills, laying the foundation for what is now one of the most respected boutique fitness brands in the country. Since then, Laura has grown Natural Pilates to six high-performing locations across Los Angeles and New York City, launched a digital fitness platform (NPTV), and developed a proprietary instructor training program and branded product line.
Beyond her reputation as a sought-after instructor, Laura has a proven track record as an operator. She has successfully overseen every facet of studio expansion—from negotiating leases and managing build-outs to hiring, team development, marketing, and long-term studio operations. Her leadership has driven Natural Pilates to $6.5 million in annual revenue while maintaining brand consistency, profitability, and client satisfaction across markets.
Laura holds certifications from STOTT Pilates (2005), Gyrotonic (2008), Spin (2011), and Vinyasa Yoga (2011), along with advanced credentials in Resistance Training and Muscle Activation Techniques (2012). Her deep expertise in biomechanics and movement systems has shaped Natural Pilates’ distinct style: a blend of classical repertoire and modern functional anatomy that delivers results and longevity for clients.
Testimonials
Great workshop to understand "the why" behind what we do as Pilates practitioners. Are we here to learn choreography or movement? The connection to RTS (Resistance Training Specialists) helps us to understand the why behind what we do and the goal of each exercise, so that we can then manipulate the resistance in order to create an endless amount of exercises/movements for every body and every situation, specifically in this case, hip and knee restrictions. - Anne Marie Aristone, Towne Barre, Towson, MD (2024)
Great content! The information was valuable, and I have already begun using exercises and methods with clients. - Wendy Freeman (2024)
I absolutely love Natural Pilates! Not only do they have the most amazing workout classes online (www.naturalpilatestv.com), but they deliver astounding teaching classes for professionals. If you are looking for a one-stop shop, Natural Pilates is that place. Laura is very knowledgeable and teaches so you easily understand. Erika is very helpful and a delight to work with. - Janna Arsenault (2024)
All workshops have been fantastic! The guest medical professionals did a great job explaining the topic and I have a much better understanding of conditions several of my clients have. Laura then did an excellent job of making their information/recommendations applicable to Pilates programming. Looking forward to taking more Natural Pilates workshops in the future! - Kelsey English (2024)
The Physics of Footwork CEC was wonderful. I loved it! - Adriana Duarte Pontual (2023)
Athletic Programming on the Jumpboard was such a great workshop, and I truly enjoyed taking it. It was thorough yet super easy to follow. I felt ready to teach immediately after completing it. Thank you Laura and Natural Pilates for giving me all the tools I need to be a great educator and teacher. - Jenny Dailey (2022)
Great workshop! Loved the breakdown of Bridging on the Reformer. - Deanna Kerr (2022)
Natural Pilates Mat & Reformer Teacher Training was a great mix of theory and practice. We were encouraged to look at the body as a whole and regularly discussed modifications and tailored exercises as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach. The teacher trainers have exceptional knowledge of the body and biomechanics and have so much information and wisdom to pass on. I would highly recommend taking a training program with Natural Pilates. - Lisa Street (2021)
