Amy Liu

Amy is a dedicated Pilates instructor who believes that a consistent practice is the key to achieving a balanced, strong, and resilient body. Her passion for the method stems from her personal journey of healing and transformation. After years of suffering from chronic lower back and wrist pain due to long hours working in high-tech—discomfort that intensified after the birth of her first child—she decided to fully devote herself to classical Pilates in 2022. Experiencing firsthand the life-changing physical restoration, strength, and vitality the practice provides, she committed to sharing these benefits with others.

Amy accomplished her 600-hour Real Pilates® Teacher Training Program

in 2023. This comprehensive education provided her with a profound understanding of the authentic, original system developed by Joseph Pilates, utilizing traditional apparatus to build core strength and correct structural alignment. By remaining faithful to these classical roots, she delivers structured, purposeful, and highly effective sessions that honor the method's proven lineage while effectively addressing the demands of modern bodies. Today, she focuses on helping clients move with ease and power, creating an empowering and supportive environment tailored to individual wellness goals.

She is thrilled to bring this specialized approach to the vibrant community at Urban Body San Jose. Whether guiding clients through customized private sessions or dynamic small group classes, Amy looks forward to helping individuals establish foundational power, recover from injury, and achieve optimal, deep-body alignment.
