500 Hour Pilates Reformer Instructor
I discovered my love for fitness after I had surgery and ended up with 2 rods and 21 screws in my back. I turned to group fitness as a way to encourage others to continue their journey and to gain confidence. Over the last 5 years, I have taught everything from Cycle to Bootcamp to Pilates. I recently relocated to Oxford from NYC where I was teaching a Pilates inspired workout. My super power is talking extremely fast and I’m often called the energizer bunny because I never run out of energy!

After years of gymnastics and cheerleading, I have learned the importance of maintaining flexibility with strength. Pilates has been the best thing to keep me toned and flexible after moving on from competitive sports. It combines both strengthening workouts as well as deep stretching in a fun and challenging way. I believe physical exercise is key to keeping both mind and body balanced. I have practiced Pilates at Haven Studio in Tupelo for years and am so excited to be teaching in Oxford!

I have always loved physical activity and competed as a gymnast and swimmer throughout my youth. I was introduced to Mat Pilates over 20 years ago and was hooked from day one. I’m originally from Connecticut and found Haven Studio when I relocated to MS. Not only was I shocked at how much more dynamic my workouts could be on the Reformer, but also blown away by how fun it was to exercise with so many diverse & wonderful people. The sense of community Haven Studio provides is unmatched and I hope you join me for a class soon!

After competing in multiple sports throughout my life, I arrived to college feeling like a part of me was missing. I tried a Pilates class and immediately fell in love. I needed that one hour each day to work on my body and release energy, then walk out feeling amazing and ready for a great day! Pilates definitely makes me a happier person and I’m so excited to be joining Haven Studio! I want to help everyone find that happiness when they walk through the door!

250 Hour BODYBAR Pilates Instructor
I have always been active and have always enjoyed exercising, mostly running for over 20 years. I attended my first Pilates class twelve years ago and quickly realized it was an ideal cross training regimen to strengthen and stretch my body, as well as focus my mind. A consistent Pilates practice has allowed me to maintain the degree of flexibility and strength essential for running longer distances. As Pilates has helped me, I want to guide others to achieve improved mobility, strength, and balance. I'm excited to be part of the Haven studio team and look forward to being part of our clients’ fitness journeys.

Having fallen in love with Barre and Pilates Reformer classes at Haven Studio, I’ve been a devotee since the beginning. As a person with hip and knee issues, movement is a necessity for me. The low impact workouts are therapeutic and gentle, yet work muscles you never knew you had! I leave each class feeling challenged and refreshed - that’s why I’m so excited to be a part of the Haven team teaching both Restorative and full Pilates Reformer classes in Tupelo and Oxford.

I began my Pilates journey for the physical benefits of core strength and long lean lines, but quickly became obsessed with the mental clarity and ease it gives me every day. Pilates is all about the mind body connection and I love incorporating breath-work into my classes. Not only will we work our bodies to strengthen, lengthen, and tone, but our minds and personal energies will be met with challenging and educational opportunities as well. I hope my class is empowering, grounding, and elevating and I can’t wait to see you in the space!

300 Hour Pilates Mat and Reformer Instructor
As a former college volleyball player - and a very competitive one - I began Pilates to build strength, improve flexibility, and overcome an injury that ultimately led to me having to leave the sport. My new love for Pilates has not only enabled me to elevate my shoulder injury, it has given me the confidence and passion to help others meet their goals as well. After taking my first week of Pilates classes, I knew I would never get tired of it. I am so excited to join the Oxford team!
