Our Sweetgrass Pilates Team
Rosemary Slick
With more than 20 years of Pilates experience, Rose brings a remarkable combination of knowledge, intuition, and warmth to Sweetgrass. Her comprehensive Pilates background is complemented by continued education through STOTT PILATES®, including specialized fascia training, as well as education through Balanced Body®.
Rose has a particular talent for creating intelligent, flowing movement that challenges the body while respecting how it moves. Her teaching emphasizes strength, mobility, alignment, and whole-body connection, making her equally comfortable guiding a traditional Pilates session or bringing a more athletic approach to experienced clients.
Her years of experience have given Rose an exceptional eye for movement and an ability to meet clients where they are without losing sight of where they can go. Clients appreciate her attentive teaching, thoughtful progressions, and ability to make challenging work feel both approachable and rewarding.
At Sweetgrass, Rose is helping us expand our focus on strength, joint health, fascia, and lifelong movement—supporting clients who want to remain strong, capable, and active as they age.
Jeanette Modie
Jeanette brings a strong foundation in Classical Pilates and decades of experience as an educator to Sweetgrass. Her comprehensive Pilates education was completed through Body Technic Systems, with training rooted in the lineage of Pilates Elder Eve Gentry.
Her additional education includes prenatal and postnatal Pilates, SilverSneakers®, and movement for older adults, giving her a broad background for working with clients through different stages of life.
Jeanette especially enjoys helping clients become comfortable with the Pilates method, understand the classical exercises, and build consistency in their movement practice. Her background as an educator brings patience and an approachable presence to the studio.
At Sweetgrass, Jeanette continues to deepen her study of the Classical method while sharing our commitment to helping clients build strength, mobility, and confidence for lifelong movement.
Stephanie Rompot, NPCT
Stephanie is the owner and lead instructor of Sweetgrass Pilates and a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT). After completing her 500-hour comprehensive Pilates certification, she continued advanced study in scoliosis, SI joint function, neurological conditions, aging populations, and working thoughtfully with clients whose bodies require a more individualized approach.
Stephanie is currently part of Karen Frischmann’s 2026–27 Classical Progressions cohort, an intensive 15-month study of the complete Classical Pilates system, including client progression, full-apparatus programming, biomechanics, and the connections that make Pilates a truly integrated method.
Her teaching blends classical principles with a practical understanding of today’s bodies. She is especially passionate about helping adults build strength, confidence, mobility, and resilience as they age—and about finding intelligent ways to keep people moving when injury, joint changes, or physical limitations have made movement more complicated.
Stephanie founded Sweetgrass with the belief that Pilates should be more than exercise. It should provide purposeful movement, meaningful connection, and a community where people can continue becoming stronger through every season of life.
Linda Hirsch, emeritus
Linda brings a wealth of Pilates knowledge and experience to the Sweetgrass community. She holds certificates in STOTT PILATES® Injuries & Special Populations, Matwork, and Reformer, with an approach grounded in biomechanics, thoughtful alignment, and intelligent movement.
Before joining Sweetgrass, Linda spent more than 12 years as a Pilates studio owner in Arizona, bringing both extensive teaching experience and a deep understanding of the community that can grow around a Pilates practice.
After many years of teaching and studio ownership, Linda officially retired from regular teaching in August 2026 and now holds the special distinction of Pilates Instructor Emeritus at Sweetgrass.
While she may have stepped away from the weekly schedule, Linda remains a valued part of our Sweetgrass family. You’ll still see her around the studio—and, if we're lucky, she may occasionally step back into the instructor role as a very special substitute.
We are grateful for the experience, wisdom, and friendship Linda continues to share with our community.
