Our Team
Caryn Chappell
When teaching Reformer Pilates classes, mindfulness and body awareness are top of mind! Caryn wants you to explore Pilates for its power and its subtleties, for its challenging movements and that feel-good elongation. Pilates is filled with opposition, and her goal is to share that with you while continuing to learn alongside you.
Caryn grew up dancing and moved to Toronto to pursue dance as a career. She performed professionally with various companies and loved her time both in the studio and onstage. She found Pilates and immediately felt at home. She wanted to learn more, so she completed her training at Mindful Movement Centre.
Instructor
Alexa xavier
Alexa began her journey as a Pilates instructor in 2018 after falling in love with the practice. Over the years she has refined her teaching to focus on human biomechanics and functional strength. Alexa’s classes encourage you to take your time, to really tune in, and to give everything a try.
She hopes to share a greater understanding of how your body moves, how your breath works, and how you can better support yourself to build strength from the inside out.
