About LIRÉA
LIRÉA was created from a simple belief: Pilates should support the way you move through your life—not exist separately from it.
Rooted in the Classical Pilates method, each session is guided by precision, thoughtful progression and attention to the individual. Rather than moving through disconnected exercises, clients develop a practice that builds strength, awareness and confidence over time.
Every detail of the studio is considered with care, from the complete apparatus system to the products and materials used within the space. Whenever possible, LIRÉA prioritizes thoughtfully selected products and materials, reduced plastic use and more responsible materials.
LIRÉA is a place to reconnect with your body, deepen your understanding of movement and build a practice that extends beyond the studio.
Meet Your Instructor
Alison is a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor who completed a 500-hour teacher-training program in 2025 and began teaching earlier that year.
Her passion lies in the Classical Pilates method, and she continues her studies under Nicole Martin, who trained under Jay Grimes—one of Joseph Pilates’ direct students.
Following a liver donation, Alison experienced recurring abdominal discomfort during recovery. During that time, Pilates offered a supportive and sustainable way to move, helping her gradually 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 Nala
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.
If you have allergies, sensitivities or would prefer a dog-free session, please let us know before your visit.
