I have always loved movement, trying everything from basketball, to track, to gymnastics since I was a kid. In college, I wanted to find more mindful movement and decided to pursue a 200hr Power Yoga Certificate. Through a studio I was teaching at was introduced to the reformer! I fell in love with the ability to move mindfully while adding resistance. The therapeutic ability of Pilates to achieve better physical and metal wellbeing of the practitioner is so important to me, as I’ve found it very healing myself.

Laura (they/them) began their journey using Pilates as a way to rehabilitate their mind and body from the long hours they put into mural art and interior painting. Their small declaration of self care and commitment soon blossomed into a lifestyle passion when they realized the impact it made on them, and how they can bring that impact to their community. An avid advocate for inclusivity and the queer community, Laura brings a motivating tenderness to their classes, always guiding others with joy and dignity. They particularly are passionate about training anyone who has ever felt excluded or intimidated by the fitness world so if this is you, try one of their classes!

Maddie discovered Pilates in college after being diagnosed with scoliosis and quickly fell in love with it as a form of physical therapy. Determined to fix her spine herself, she got certified at 20 while still attending college. She saw the healing effects Pilates had on her own body and wanted to help others feel strong and confident as well. After graduating from Auburn University last spring, she moved to Atlanta to pursue her passion for Pilates.

It only took one class for me to fall in love with Pilates. After a car accident, years spent behind a desk, and wobbly knees from competitive cheerleading, I discovered that Pilates helped me build strength (in the often overlooked muscles) and connect to my body in a way I hadn’t before. I pursued teacher training to better understand and improve my own practice; but It didn’t take long to realize I wanted to share my passion for Pilates with others. I completed my 500+ hour Comprehensive Pilates training through Balanced Body, and graduated from the Mentorship program at The Studio this year! I’m an Engineering Program Manager by day so you will find me teaching at night. Creating a safe space for people to explore the method is very important to me. The hope is that I can leave people better than I found em’ ❤️
