About
Nikki LaFord
A native of Southern Oregon, I’ve led an athletic life starting with gymnastics at 7 then finding my passion for horses at 11. I entered my first equestrian show and demonstrated such a connection between horse and rider that by age 14 I was training horses and riders. I was recognized as a skilled rider, winning several grand championships which further opened doors for my training and coaching profession. I have more than 20 years of experience teaching horse and rider, and now teach Pilates for the equestrian; English and Western competitive edge.
In 2005 I was hit by a drunk driver on my way to work. The injuries were so extensive doctors thought I would never ride again – suffering four herniated discs and a cervical/lumbar strain. Additionally, I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis and shortly thereafter, Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE). The combination of these debilitating conditions caused almost insurmountable pain and discomfort. I tried several types of treatment with no relief, triggering depression that motivated me to study nutrition and exercise designed for Lupus. This path led me to the Pilates Method. Through the positive changes on all levels, particularly with my Pilates practice, I experienced miraculous relief, hope and excitement.
As is my tendency, personal experience led to my desire to share this life-changing methodology with others. I achieved my Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates Mat Certification in 2010 and was one of only 2 people in the US awarded the Cathy Grant Memorial Scholarship in 2012 to complete my Comprehensive Pilates training. I finished my internship and became fully certified in Oct 2013. I hold advanced certifications from BASI for work with injuries and pathologies. My other instructor certifications include Pole Dance Fitness, INSANITY, P90X, PiYo and Yoga.
I live in Medford with my three very active children, four dogs and of course, some horses. I love mountain bike riding and running, and helping people find happiness and health through exercise.

Transformative Tales
Testimonials
"Pilates started for me as a way for me to strengthen and tone my body after being a gymnast for many years. I didn’t feel like other forms of exercise targeted the same muscle groups that I wanted to maintain into my adult life. Over time, Pilates has become so much more for me. It’s about connecting my mind and body, incorporating breathing, and deepening my core strength. It is with Nikki’s guidance as an instructor that I realized these other components of Pilates. Nikki has helped me identify imbalances in strength and coordination, where I rely on one side of my body more than the other, and has designed our sessions to help correct these weaknesses. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how my body supports me when running, hiking, kayaking, skiing, and enjoying the outdoors with my husband."
"Sometimes simply the thought of having to be somewhere is enough to make you want to bail. Going to Pilates is no different, except that after that hour in class, the “happy endorphins” from working out and knowing that you’ve done something really great for your body and your entire self is enough to make you want to keep returning. It’s been too many years to count since taking an introductory Pilates for Equestrians class with Nikki LaFord and now it’s just a necessary part of life! The Pilates and core work is fabulous. Pilates for Equestrians taught by Nikki? Outstanding! Nikki is a born teacher and, even in a group, everyone feels as if it is a private session. She is attentive to each person’s “ailment du jour”, modifies exercises if necessary, yet encourages (okay, pushes!) us beyond what we think we can accomplish. Several class exercises complement those assigned by my physical therapist. The results for this almost-70-something student are gratifying: better balance, less chronic back pain, strengthened supporting muscles for a torn meniscus, and overall body-in-space awareness. Oh, and my horse is grateful too, for carrying a rider and not just a sack-of-potatoes passenger."
"Nikki is an expert by training, experience and astute observation in anatomy and movement. Starting with an understanding of where I was, Nikki created a foundation to grow my body back to a balanced strength again. In addition to great Pilates exercises, Nikki also uses a memorable descriptive language that says with me throughout the day. Pilates works and Nikki is one of the very best trainers I have ever met!"
"Equestrian Pilates classes with Nikki has added much to my life. Being aware of every part of my body when riding is the most valuable tool I have, thanks to Pilates. Over five years of Pilates have enabled me to stay balanced and strong in my everyday life, and especially on my horse. I started at the beginning of the classes as a complete novice, and now I feel vastly more confident in my ability to ride and to be a perfect partner to my horse. Many times I have silently thanked Niki, when I had a close call! Strength and stability are only two of the gifts she has given me. Lots of hard work, but worth every second! Thanks Niki."
