Aura Fischbeck-Wise has been teaching the Pilates Method since 2003. Her interest in Pilates as an exercise, rehabilitation, and mind/body integration technique evolved out of her background as a dancer. She was first introduced to the Pilates Method in 1998 in a dance class in college, taught by Cara Reeser. She then went on to receive her initial training at the Pilates Center of Boulder in 2003, and has done extensive continuing education in a variety of specialized topics around functional anatomy, and injury prevention and recovery. In 2014 she completed the Heritage Training with Cara Reeser, which focuses on the legacy of Kathy Grant, a Pilates elder and master teacher. She has worked as an advisor and mentor to teachers in training through The Pilates Workshop and the Pilates Center Teacher Training program, completed the Pilates Center Masters Program in 2015, and is a nationally certified teacher through the NPTC since 2016.

As a deeply invested and skilled movement educator she aims to meet each individual client wherever they are in their fitness or skill level, and custom design an appropriate workout for each individual. Her emphasis is on breathing, proper alignment, attention to detail and healthful technique. Aura holds an MFA in dance from the University of the Arts and a BA in Movement Studies from the Naropa University. In addition to teaching the Pilates Method Aura continues to work as a dance and performing artist, teaching and creating performance works under the moniker Aura Fischbeck Dance.
