I am Misty Lynne Cauthen, a movement specialist, Senior Pilates educator, and the owner and director of Dragonfly Pilates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With nearly 30 years of experience teaching and mentoring, I have developed my practice around a core belief: that true health comes from attending to the whole person, not just the body. My work includes private and group instruction, post-rehabilitation support, athletic training, special populations, and mentoring the next generation of movement professionals as a Principal Educator for Balanced Body, Inc.

I am is pursuing the Scholistico Movement Therapy Practitioner Certification to deepen the therapeutic dimensions of my teaching and expand the ways I can support clients in reconnecting with their bodies. I am especially drawn to the holistic and somatic frameworks the course offers, which align with my long-held position that movement is a vehicle for healing, empowerment, and lasting change.
