Pauletta Francis
Pauletta Francis is a passionate educator and published children’s book author.
She believes in the important mind-body connection and so in 2019, she was invited by Vehia to try a Pilates Class. From that first class, Pauletta was hooked! She enjoyed the exercises particularly as a way to restore total oneness and create harmony in body, mind and spirit. As a Pilates enthusiast, Pauletta is excited and proud to be the co-founder and co-owner of BDA Pilates. Her vision is that BDA Pilates will provide professional, high quality Pilates instruction to everyone in Bermuda. Come and try a class. You just might become a Pilates enthusiast, too!
