My favorite piece of Bala equipment is the beam

Pilates, meditation, breathwork and connecting to self has helped me grow beyond the limits my mind placed on me.

Remember that everyone starts somewhere! Find a style of movement that you enjoy and that’s the best kind because you’ll actually look forward to moving your body.

Movement doesn't need to be long—it just needs to happen

Movement helps me feel stronger, more grounded, and more like myself, which ultimately helps me show up better in every area of my life.

Mindful movement is about showing up for yourself and appreciating the fact that you did. Appreciation shifts everything!

"Pilates meets you where you are. Some days it feels powerful, some days it feels healing, but it always brings you back to yourself."

My approach has always been about more than movement; it’s about joy, music, empowerment, and connection.

"I want my students to feel joy in moving their bodies and recognize how lucky we are to be able to get to move in the ways we want to!"

"Start slow, stay consistent, and trust yourself. Everybody is different, and every day you show up is an opportunity to get stronger from the inside out."

Any movement is good movement. Whether it's walking, or a 10 minute workout, or even holding your baby and doing some squats.

Give yourself grace!

What really keeps me going is knowing I’ve never felt worse after even the smallest bit of movement—no matter what the day has in store. Movement makes me a better person in all facets of my life.

“DONE is better than perfect”

Learning to coordinate breath with movement enhances your overall readiness for labor, which is, in
itself, a demanding physical event.

My non-negotiable: morning sunlight and a few deep breaths. I give myself at least an hour before checking my phone. It sets the tone for a calm, focused day.

Movement should never be about punishment, it should be empowering, functional, and something you actually look forward to.

Movement is one of the most powerful tools we have at our fingertips every day. It is an instant mood changer! The cliche that movement is medicine has been true for me for years and I truly believe we can move through anything!!

I love that movement gives back so much more than it requires. It’s not just about looking a certain way—it’s about proving to yourself how strong you are, how consistent you can be, and that you can follow through on your commitments.

Movement can fully change your mood for the better. Even just a short walk around your block or a 5 min pilates core workout can get those endorphins going and shift your mood and perspective!

"For me, movement is the quickest and most effective way to shift your energy. No one has ever moved their bodies and regretted it."

What I love most about movement is how essential it is to every function of our everyday life.

I love the energetic & endorphin high I get when I work out, particularly when teaching KKSWEAT, and love to share that energy with everyone in my classes.

I love how exercise can make people feel and how it has the ability to turn your day around. Movement can be the reason we get out of a negative thought or into a creative flow. It can connect people to each other and more deeply to themselves. It’s therapy, magic, and connection to me!

I love how present movement makes me feel! It is such a relief to get out of the busyness of my mind and into the feeling sensations of my body!

Movement to me is like unlocking a treasure chest of possibilities. It's not just about getting stronger physically; it's about feeling more alive, more connected, and more empowered. Through Pilates, I've seen firsthand how movement can truly transform lives, and that's what keeps me coming back for more.

Move with joy and in celebration of yourself! Love your ever-changing body as it is today, and whether you are in your pjs or in a cute bright colored set, show up for yourself. I always feel a million times better and more confident for my day post-glistening.

My favorite piece of Bala equipment would definitely be the bangles. Addling those bad boys will enhance your workout just that much more and makes for a more fun and challenging workout!

Wellness and movement is easier than we make it out to be. Simplicity + PLAY are secret ingredients.

Find what works for YOU, owning your own bio-individuality and being ok with this changing as you evolve and grow is key!

Stay committed to learning. The journey never stops.

I use the power of visualization to stay committed and motivated.

#1 Wellness tip or hack you can’t go a day without?
SC: Journaling!! It helps me return to gratitude & connect to myself!
SS: Start your day with movement that energizes you & leaves you ready to conquer your day!

"My favorite pieces of advice I’ve been given is: Start even if you don’t know how, and don’t be afraid to get messy along the way."

"Planning my day and setting my intentions the night before is the best way for me to get motivated. When I have a great morning, I know I always have a great day, so waking up with a purpose is my go-to to start motivated."

“I stay motivated by mixing up my workout routines so my body doesn’t get used to one routine or a specific set of muscle groups. I also like to challenge myself and take classes that I’m not familiar with or confident in.”
