Julianne Pilates/Yoga Instructor
Julianne’s fitness journey started in 1996 when she quit smoking and knew she needed to change her lifestyle. Her love for kickboxing classes at her local gym turned into an opportunity to begin teaching the class and sharing her love for physical fitness.
Julianne went on to get her Personal Training certification in 2001 and in 2003 acquired her Group Fitness certificate. She has been sharing her passion for health and fitness ever since and has taught a variety of classes including boot camps, HIIT training, Tread N Shed, as well as Mat Pilates.
The years of plyometrics and weight training created stiff and aching joints and she knew she needed a change. She reconnected with yoga in 2015 and found the benefits of hot yoga helped to increase her flexibility while maintaining her strength. Julianne completed her YRT200 yoga certification in June 2023.
Her accomplishments include completing 2 half marathons, many 3K and 6K races, and her fourth-place finish in 2007 INBF (International Natural Body Building Federation) Cardinal Classic and fifth-place finish in the 2011 INBF Tri-State body building competitions.
These days Julianne can be found spending more time on her mat teaching Mat Pilates and Yoga.

Kiersten Yoga Instructor
Kiersten first started doing yoga in 2017 when she joined a friend for class. Immediately she fell in love with the practice of connecting body, mind, and spirit. Following her intuition, she signed up for teacher training in 2021 which fueled her love for yoga even more. After every class she hopes to leave her students feeling confident, accomplished, and inspired. When Kiersten isn’t practicing yoga, she is probably at home hanging out with her cat, Greta.
