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.

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.

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.
