A longtime professional dancer, Neal brings a lifetime of passionate study of human movement to all his teaching. Beginning his Pilates training under Kathy Grant, a protégée of Joseph Pilates, Neal was certified to teach by Ellie Herman and was a senior instructor in her Brooklyn, NY studios before relocating to the Atlanta area. Neal’s teaching emphasizes finding the joy and pleasure of movement, drawing from an array of modalities to help clients get stronger, move more easily, recover from injury, and generally feel better in their bodies.

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.

I’m Jay & I have a deep love for movement, mindfulness, and helping others connect with their bodies in a meaningful way. Growing up as a competitive athlete, I was conditioned to believe that movement had to be intense, exhausting, something to push through, & get over with. But when I found Pilates, everything shifted. It taught me that movement could be just as powerful without being punishing—that strength and softness can coexist. Pilates didn’t just transform my body; it became a tool for mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall alignment of mind, body and spirit. Now, I use my practice to help others experience that same shift—one that goes beyond just working out and into a deeper connection with themselves.
