About LIRÉA
LIRÉA was created from a simple belief: wellness should feel intentional, sustainable, and deeply rooted in care.
Pilates has always been more than exercise—it's a way of understanding how the body moves, adapts, and strengthens over time. That perspective shapes every session at LIRÉA.
We believe meaningful progress comes from slowing down, paying attention to detail, and moving with purpose. Rather than rushing through exercises, we focus on quality of movement, building strength, awareness, and confidence that lasts beyond the studio.
Our commitment to wellness extends beyond Pilates. We strive to create a thoughtful environment that prioritizes non-toxic choices, reduces unnecessary plastic use, and supports more sustainable practices whenever possible. From the products we choose to the atmosphere we cultivate, every detail is considered with both personal well-being and environmental responsibility in mind.
At its heart, LIRÉA is a space to reconnect—with your body, your breath, and your daily practice of wellness.
Meet Your Instructor
Alison is a Pilates instructor with a 500-hour comprehensive training certification, completed in 2025. She began teaching group Pilates in February of the same year.
Her passion lies in classical Pilates, and she continues her studies under Nicole Martin, who was trained by Jay Grimes, one of Joseph Pilates' direct students.
Following a liver donation, Alison experienced recurring abdominal discomfort during recovery. Pilates became the only form of movement that felt supportive and sustainable, helping her reconnect with her body when other forms of exercise felt too intense.
Today, her teaching emphasizes precision, hands-on instruction, and thoughtful progression, helping clients build strength, awareness, and confidence through movement.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.”
Meet Your Chief Happiness Officer & Studio Companion
Nala is LIRÉA's resident Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and unofficial Chief Happiness Officer.
Her responsibilities include greeting clients, supervising sessions from a cozy corner, accepting compliments, and occasionally reminding everyone to take a moment to slow down and enjoy the little things.
While Nala takes her role very seriously, you may find her napping between appointments, requesting belly rubs, or quietly observing the studio from her favorite spot.
She is friendly, gentle, and may be present during your visit.
