Nora Samhadaneh has been a New York City resident since 2022, where she works as a dedicated Bioinformatics programmer in the healthcare industry—a desk job that often keeps her seated for long periods. Prior to moving to NYC, Nora enjoyed living near the mountains and participating in outdoor activities. After relocating, she explored various fitness studios and discovered a passion for Pilates. Drawn to its focus on building core strength and countering the effects of a sedentary workday, she found that Pilates not only enhanced her flexibility, posture, and overall strength but also improved her performance in a variety of sports. In 2023, she began her Comprehensive Pilates Certification with Power Pilates, eager to deepen her practice and connect with people who are equally committed to self-improvement. Nora loves working with diverse individuals in her Pilates classes, where people are happy to collaborate with her on their journey toward better health and well-being.
