Instructors

Kelsey is our incredible Head Instructor and brings years of experience, passion, and dedication to the art of both Yoga and Pilates. As the Yoga Director of our sister brand, Black Swan Yoga, for the last 4+ years, she fosters a sense of community throughout every studio she’s a part of. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, she’ll inspire you to move with intention and strength.

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.

My nationality is Russian and Peruvian but I was born and raised in Canada. I took ballet lessons since I was 3 and later on got trained professionally until the age of 14. I have a degree in Education and have had many desk jobs, which led me back to what I’m truly passionate about – the art of movement. You can expect songs like Ojitos Lindos by Bad Bunny, Fountains by Drake and Tems, Beso by Rosalia. I love a good Afrobeats and Urban Latino mixed playlist! See you all in the reformer!

After taking her first Pilates class five years ago, Abbie was hooked! Pilates opened the door for all things fitness, and soon Abbie was wanting to share it with all of her friends. After years of being a student, she finally decided to take the plunge and become a certified instructor. When she’s not teaching class, Abbie is busy making wedding dreams come true as a full time wedding florist. Teaching pilates allows her to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the wedding world and connect with her body and mind. Abbie’s energy and creativity are things she loves to share with others to ensure they have the best time in her classes!

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.

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.

Known as the Pulsing Queen, she will have you feeling strong and energized from start to finish!

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 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.
