Lexxi discovered Pilates after being involved in a hit & run car accident that left her with minor bursitis in one knee and a herniated disc in her lumbar spine. Before the accident, she enjoyed heavy weight lifting and cardio but was cautious about getting back into her routine and not interfering with chiropractic adjustments. And thus, her love for Pilates was born! She originally picked up Mat Pilates to learn more about the foundations until she took her first class at The Studio. The community The Studio has to offer from the exceptionally knowledgable instructors to a beautiful and peaceful space to move, she was inspired to become an Instructor. Lexxi completed her 500-hr Comprehensive Certification in Dec 2024 and she continues to learn, grow and find enjoyment within the Contrology that Pilates brings.

I was introduced to Pilates while working the front desk at a studio in college. As I started taking classes, I was drawn to the intentional movements and mind-body connection. I’ve been a runner my whole life, and always valued “fast” over “form”. With consistent practice, I noticed a significant decrease in knee and hip pain from years of high impact activity. I knew it was a community I wanted to be a part of, so I jumped right into teacher training. I received my comprehensive certification in 2021 and have been teaching ever since!
