In 1983, while dancing in Miami, Florida, Ann Law tore her right calf muscle. With the help of the sports medicine doctor from the Miami Dolphins, she slowly regained her flexibility. This injury led her to experiencing Joe Pilates’ work for the first time. Fifteen years later, while struggling with old dance injuries and the minor aches and pains of getting older, Ann returned to the exercise methods of Joseph Pilates, studying his work at the Atlanta Ballet Studio. It was there that she decided to continue investigating this amazing approach to re-educating the body by becoming a certified Pilates’ instructor under the guidance of Joe Pilates’ last disciple, Romana Kryzanowska. Ann is also certified in the Pink Ribbon Program, a post-operative workout for enhancing recovery based upon Pilates.

As owner of Pilates at Barking Legs, Ann has invested its instructors who continue to grow inside Pilates' specific method. These instructors, Kim and Bobbie (see below), have distinct talents, allowing them to work with a diverse clientele. Their mission is to help every client develop body awareness and reach a more active, positive and physical state of being.The focus of Pilates at Barking Legs has always been about making connections so that everyone can take a new physical direction in life!
