Natasha Ponciano @natashgetslost

Meet Natasha Ponciano—yogi turned Pilates powerhouse. As the founder of Lost Lotus Yoga, she’s no stranger to mindful movement, but now she’s swapping savasana for spine articulation and adding a little cheek to her core work. Expect precision, power, and just enough sass to keep your abs and ego in check.

Julia Green @juliaclementine_

With a strong foundation in movement and mindfulness through my background as a Baptiste-trained yoga teacher and my passion for strength training and CrossFit, I bring a unique, well-rounded perspective to my Pilates teaching. Although I’m newer to Pilates, I quickly fell in love with its precision and power—especially the way it activates the core like nothing else I’ve experienced. After just a few sessions, I knew I had to dive deeper and have since completed Mat 1, 2, and 3 through Balanced Body.

I’m excited to be on this journey and to grow alongside my students. Let’s build strong Foundations together—one breath, one movement at a time.

Stephanie Rachelle practicing Pilates at Revival Pilates Studio, inspiring strength, balance, and mindful movement.

Stephanie Rachelle @thestephanierachelle

With 12+ years in the wellness industry, I bridge the gap between movement and mindful recovery. My mission? To help you feel strong, fluid, and truly at home in your body.

In the studio, I focus on smart, adaptable movement—building strength and mobility that translates to real life. Think less “what am I even doing?” and more “oh, THIS is how my body is meant to move.”

Beyond movement, I specialize in holistic recovery:

– Lymphatic drainage to refresh your system
– Pressotherapy for enhanced circulation and detox
– Recovery therapies designed to help your body heal and thrive

Whether you’re craving confidence, chasing resilience, or just done feeling stuck, I’m here to guide you with expertise that’s as practical as it is passionate.

Let’s work with your body, not against it.

Hello, my name is Meybeli I’ve been teaching for two plus years in Katy and have recently moved to Houston for my job. I currently work in plastic surgery at ACPS with Dr. Wentworth and Dr. Fortes as their coordinators. I have a passion for being the best version of yourself and shooting high with your goals. I run full marathons for fun but also because I’m my biggest competition. I’ll be running the Houston marathon for the 3rd year in a row, followed by two other locations.

Saj @sajsahmadi

Saj fell in love with Pilates five years ago as a client, and before she knew it, she was leading classes and she has been at it for the past two years! Her classes are simultaneously challenging and chill somehow but with a playlist of house music, hip-hop, and international beats to keep the energy high. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll probably find her at a concert or exploring a new city or country—where she always make time to check out local studios.

Stephanie McCarrey @stephanieannhtxyoga

Stephanie got her first personal training certification in 2001 and has been practicing reformer Pilates since 2015. She truly fell in love with the practice when she saw the results in her body. Pilates can take the place of weight training; the results were less injuries and lean muscle. Stephanie loves core work, and Pilates is the best modality to express that. Pilates improves your balance, your spinal health and overall is an incredible partner to a yoga practice. The music Stephanie plays will be fun, the latest tracks, a little ratchet and always the divas. Stephanie’s goal is to make you feel your strongest and most fabulous.

Val Feachen @valfeachen

Val started her reformer Pilates journey back in 2017 and fell in love with this type of workout. As a full time yoga teacher it was nice to mix things up and reformer quickly became a regular part of her weekly workout routine. In 2024 she decided it was time to transition into teaching Pilates as well. She became certified in October of 2024 and has been teaching ever since. She’s excited to continue my Pilates teaching journey with Revival Pilates and the amazing team of instructors here.
