Meghann Koppele Duffy
Meghann Koppele Duffy is a Kane School, Pilates Method Alliance (PMA®), and IM=X certified instructor since 2002 as well as a Certified Strength and Condition Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. She has also completed the Functional Anatomy for Movement & Injuries Workshop at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Meghann received her undergraduate degree in exercise science from the University of Scranton and a Master's degree in Applied Physiology from Columbia University. After completing her Master's degree, Meghann opened a Pilates studio in Hoboken, New Jersey, where she worked with clients with a variety of conditions including severe back pain, sports injuries, multiple sclerosis, and pre- and postnatal clients. She also worked with clients who simply want better fitness or to achieve their weight loss goals. After five years running a studio, Meghann decided to sell her business and move to the beach to refocus on her first love of teaching and helping others.
Since 2004, Meghann has had the privilege of working closely with many clients with early stage to advanced multiple sclerosis, as well as their doctors. After compiling medical research and anecdotal evidence, she created her own Pilates-based protocol to help her MS clients. Realizing that teachers were ill-equipped to work with this population, she joined forces with Kelly Kane , the founder of the acclaimed Kane School Pilates School, to help her further develop her work into a workshop for other teachers, personal trainers, physical therapists, and other rehab specialists.
In 2014, Meghann and Mariska Breland decided to combine forces to help educate other movement professionals about Pilates for Multiple Sclerosis. Meghann joined the Pilates for Neurological Conditions team and began to teach a 3-day Pilates for Neurological Conditions Course based off Mariska's book Pilates for MS and later developed her own Anatomy in Action and Advanced Pilates for Neurological Conditions workshop based on her years of working with clients with neurological disorders.
Meghann has taught her method nationwide and internationally since 2014. She is also currently working with top hospitals to incorporate her method into the standard treatment plans. In 2017, Mariska and Meghann joined forces yet again to create The Neuro Studio, the first online movement education platform for people with neurological conditions. They were both sick of Pilates being so cost prohibitive and decided to create their digital studio to help bring their successful methods to everyone at a fraction of the cost.
