Nicole Huey

Pilates Instructor

Fitness has been an integral part of my life journey. From playing softball and volleyball growing up, to transitioning into running after high school, physical activity has been a constant. As I found a general joy in moving my body, I realized how much it benefitted my mental state. I found joy in pushing myself athletically, which enabled me to accomplish one of my greatest feats - running in the LA Marathon in March 2020. After graduating from UCLA in 2022 as a Philosophy major and History minor, I discovered a newfound passion for Pilates. This led me to obtain my STOTT Pilates certification in September 2023. I look forward to helping others learn Pilates and find how transformative it can be for both body and mind.

To see someone benefit from Pilates is a great joy as an instructor. One of my most incredible moments so far as an instructor has been helping a dear friend who has been in severe body pain as a result of years of sports injuries. She had constant trips to the doctor, chiropractor, and physical therapist. Being able to guide her in moves that would relieve her pain and help her body get back to the way it moved pre-injury has been such an amazing experience to be a part of.

Lawren Johns

Pilates Instructor

As a former gymnast and gymnastics coach, Lawren Johns saw the benefits of Pilates as soon as she began taking classes. Once she saw how Pilates helped to correct and heal the preexisting back injuries she sustained competing in gymnastics, she knew she wanted to teach others how to benefit from these foundational exercises.

Emphasizing core work, breath, and focusing on the stabilizing muscles can not only strengthen the body, but can help it heal from pre-existing injuries as well. Lawren is certified in Pilates Mat, Reformer, Barrel, Chair, and Cadillac.

In addition, she has completed a training and mentorship in therapeutic yoga and has assisted in three yoga teacher training programs.

Allison’s teaching style centers on creating a space of safety and acceptance, by incorporating smart sequencing, modifications, and adjustments for all students.
