Vibrant Soul Pilates & Wellness

I bring a unique blend of passion for social good and a love for movement to the studio. By day, I work in philanthropy, making a difference in the world through my dedication to social impact, humanity, and equity. In the studio, I hope to empower others to find strength, flexibility, and inner peace through the transformative practice of Pilates.

Having loved Pilates for years, I am thrilled to share my enthusiasm and expertise with my students. Currently completing my comprehensive Pilates certification through Balanced Body, I have extensive experience instructing on Pilates reformer and apparatus machines. My classes are thoughtfully designed to leverage these tools, offering a workout that is both highly effective and tailored to individual needs. Pilates is not just exercise—it’s a practice that enhances strength, improves posture, and promotes a deep connection to the body.

More than just fitness, I believe in building a community around movement. My philosophy is rooted in moving with purpose and embracing wellness as a way of life. Through Pilates, I strive to help others develop mindful movement patterns that enhance everyday life, foster long-term vitality, and create a deep sense of well-being. My goal is to support each student in building strength and flexibility while cultivating a holistic approach to wellness that nourishes both body and mind.

The Pilates Pros

Meet Our Team

Hi, I’m Hannah! Along with being a fitness coach/instructor, I am also a certified Holistic Nutritionist. Exercise and being healthy was always a part of my life, but it became a priority to me in my late adolescence when I started feeling the effects of rheumatoid arthritis, which runs in my family. Now being the healthiest version of myself is non-negotiable, and Pilates is something that makes doing that easy!

Favorite exercise / prop - Body weight exercises are my favorite because I love the versatility of being able to workout anywhere/anytime.

Fun fact - I have a huge (and possibly never ending) perfume collection.

I have been using my body therapeutically my entire life. As a former professional dancer in ballet and modern dance, movement has always been at the center of my world. For the past 20 years, I have been teaching in fitness, health, and wellness as an ACE-certified fitness instructor, dance teacher, board-certified health coach, and licensed massage therapist. Pilates was an integral part of my cross-training during my dance years, and it continues to be a foundational part of my approach to movement and well-being.

I am a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, the Swedish Institute: College of Health Sciences, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and the Institute of Functional Medicine’s Coaching Academy. I also hold national board certification from the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching.

At this point in my life, the simple yoga block might be my favorite prop for assists in meditative stretching (while hiding from my boisterous kids). When I’m not thinking about bodies and health, you can usually find me indulging in my other passion—music and singing. Whether on stage a few times a year or at a karaoke bar, I love performing in local opera and theater!

Aging gracefully can be challenging. I started taking Pilates to rebuild my core after my hysterectomy. My “a-ha” moment of feeling how everything stems from the core happened through body weight exercises and this excited me to know end!!

I became an instructor last year to help others achieve those moments and to incorporate Pilates into the Yoga classes I teach. In 2012, I earned my 200-hr. Yoga Alliance certification. My Pilates classes, much like my Yoga classes, are challenging, fun, and guided by an intention to allow participants to deepen their mind-body connection. I grew up dancing and although my dreams of being Madonna’s back-up dancer did not pan out, being a fitness instructor allows me to still honor my skills and all the feels I experienced in the dance studio!

Fun Fact: I was a member of a hip-hop dance group in Boston, MA!

Hi, I’m Tricia! I’m a professional dance performer, movement teacher, and Pilates instructor through Breathe Education. I first fell in love with Pilates through injury rehab while studying at the Boston Conservatory, and from there, I’ve been on a mission to help others experience the healing power of movement.

My favorite reformer exercises are the snake and twist—they leave me feeling strong and accomplished every time.

Outside the studio, I’ve been lucky enough to perform internationally and absolutely love to travel!

Get ready to feel the Pilates shakes! After playing soccer through college and high school, I spent several years practicing Pilates while also working within the industry. I became Comprehensively Certified to teach Mat and Reformer Pilates with a speciality in Scoliosis after realizing all of the wonderful benefits the practice can provide! I strive to create a welcoming environment for every session, and to have everyone fall in love with Pilates!

ROXY

Roxy helps her clients build strength from the inside out so they can move through the world feeling poised, balanced, and confident — with great posture to match.

A former ballet dancer and enthusiastic gravel cyclist, Roxy came to Pilates through her own experience with chronic joint pain. After being diagnosed with Lupus in 2010 and spending years searching for relief, she began Reformer Pilates in 2023. With consistent practice, she experienced a dramatic improvement in her mobility and pain, inspiring her to begin teacher training in 2025 and share that same sense of strength and possibility with others.

Roxy especially loves Mermaid exercises on both the Reformer and mat because they combine strength, range of motion, balance, and grace. Her favorite part? A room full of clients moving through them together can look a little like Swan Lake.

Hi, I’m Kihei! As a former collegiate athlete with a lifelong passion for fitness, I bring a balanced approach to training. While I thrive on the challenge of a high-intensity workout, I hold deep appreciation for the restorative benefits of yoga, Pilates, and other low-impact movement formats. I am a certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, and mental health therapist. Blending these knowledge bases together, my ultimate goal is to help folks find renewed self-confidence through building physical strength and resilience.
My favorite props right now are floor gliders! Whether in a plank or lunge, gliders turn even the simplest of exercises into a humbling full-body challenge!

Victoria discovered Pilates during a stressful chapter of her life, initially looking for relief and finding something much more transformative. Through breath, precision, and controlled strength, Pilates became a way to reset, reconnect, and build balance — an intentional approach she now brings into every class she teaches.

With a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and experience in both Early Childhood Management and Special Education, Victoria’s teaching style is shaped by patience, attentiveness, and the understanding that every body learns and moves differently. Her classes are thoughtful and purposeful, with carefully designed sequences and cues meant to help each client feel supported and seen.

Originally from Argentina, Victoria moved to Pittsburgh twelve years ago and has developed a deep appreciation for community. She is proudly bilingual and welcomes clients in both English and Spanish.

Her movement style blends athletic precision with controlled strength training, focusing on intentional resistance, deep muscle engagement, and lasting strength. Outside the studio, Victoria enjoys long walks and bike rides throughout Pittsburgh, using movement as a way to explore, connect, and stay present.

Move with intention. Build strength with soul.

After a PCOS diagnosis, my naturopath recommended low impact movement such as Pilates. I quickly became obsessed and never looked back! I am currently completing my teacher certification with Balanced Body.I am passionate about helping people discover their agency over their health and wellness through nutrition, movement, and stress relief practices. 

I also enjoy yoga, hiking and being outside as much as possible.I love to travel and find beautiful Pilates studios in the cities I visit. 

My favorite Pilates exercise is feet in straps on the reformer. It's divine!

I’ve always loved group fitness and I enjoy trying out different studios & classes. I fell in love with Pilates and recently decided to get certified through Balanced Body education. So far I’ve completed my mat & reformer training and will continue working toward a comprehensive certification. The more I learn, the more I love it! I’ve found that the principles of Pilates aligns well with my own personal goals & philosophy. I consider myself a bit of a health & wellness nerd and I like that Pilates is a holistic modality, not solely a workout. 

As a coach I’d like to encourage students to slow down, learn about their own bodies and take the time to connect with them in order to create efficient movement. Of course they’ll get a great workout, but have a mindful experience at the same time. 

Outside of the studio I enjoy walking outside, going to music festivals and spending time with my horse.  My favorite Pilates exercise at the moment is Eve’s lunge.
