Winifer MacKinnon

Winifer MacKinnon is a comprehensively certified instructor through Balance Body and the National Pilates Certification Program. She brings a sharp, seasoned perspective to the DI Pilates team. A self-proclaimed “Pilates Nerd,” she’s endlessly curious about anatomy and the subtle magic behind each movement.

With a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M and a Master of Education from USF, Winifer blends analytical precision with a passion for lifelong learning. She works full-time at one of the world’s largest software companies, but her heart beats for Pilates. Her journey began 15 years ago after the birth of her second daughter. Following a high-risk pregnancy, Pilates became her go-to for rebuilding strength and balance in the body and mind.

A spinal stenosis diagnosis in 2018 deepened her commitment, as she discovered how closely Pilates aligned with physical therapy. Today, she teaches with warmth and purpose, creating a welcoming space where every body is celebrated.
