Meet Alexis

Comprehensively certified Pilates instructor & founder of Moonlit Pilates

​

My story

Pilates found me in a class at Pilates House Baltimore, & I've been obsessed ever since. That obsession led me to earn my comprehensive certification through The Lab by Pilates House Baltimore, where I trained across the full system of mat & apparatus work.

​

Before I ever taught a roll down, I spent years in retail, watching women try to reshape their bodies to fit a trend or a piece of fabric. Here's what I told every one of them: clothing is meant to be tailored to your body, never the other way around. 

​

Pilates gave me a different way to see my body: as something to strengthen, understand & honor, not something to fix. Movement became my therapy, my reset button & my way of reconnecting with myself when life gets chaotic. Moonlit Pilates exists so I can share that with you.

​

Why "Moonlit"?

The moon is a symbol of transformation, renewal & constant evolution, just like us. Our bodies move through cycles, our energy shifts, & some days we need strength while others we need softness. Movement is how we honor those changes, & every session meets you in whatever phase you're in today.

​

My approach

Every cue has a purpose. As a comprehensively certified instructor, I know exactly why we're doing each movement, & I'll help you understand it too.

​

Every session is built around you. Your history, your injuries, your goals & how you feel that day. We check in before the first roll down, every time.

​

Every body is welcome. Total beginners, seasoned movers, people coming back from injury & everyone in between. No ego, no judgment, just intentional work & real progress.

​

The studio

My private studio in Midlothian is fully equipped with mat, reformer, spine corrector, ladder barrel & combo chair, so every session can use exactly what your body needs.

 

There's street parking right outside, & the address arrives with your booking confirmation.

​

​Can't make it to Midlothian? I also teach private sessions on Zoom, so you can practice with me from anywhere.

​

Always a student

I'm a student of this craft for life& I never stop training. Right now I'm deepening my work through:

• Raven's Pilates Body Mat Teacher Training

• Pilates 804 Somaphyx Pro Mentorship, refining the precision of mat work

 

The more I learn, the better I can serve the bodies in front of me, & every session you take with me gets the benefit of it.

​

Beyond private sessions

I also bring Pilates to you through Moonlit Events: birthdays, bachelorettes, bridal showers, corporate wellness & community gatherings. Poolside, rooftop or in your backyard, we'll make it intentional & fun.

​

New clients get 2 private sessions for $100, so you can find out what it feels like to have an hour built entirely around you.

With love & movement,
Alexis
