Lorie Hoyt - Studio Owner and Instructor

Lorie started practicing Pilates in 2009 because of low-back pain after childbirth. Being involved in athletics her entire life, she began teaching mat classes and continued learning the Pilates method at a variety of schools.

In 2014 she became comprehensively certified through Power Pilates, completing the classical 600hr program. With a strong belief in the Pilates integrated method, fundamentals and that movement is essential to health and wellness, she helps keeps people moving. After 15 years experience, helping others move for better functioning and meet their physical goals and help people gain strength to support their daily movements and connect to their bodies are her main goals. “I love the amount of learning through Pilates. Learning about our bodies, how to connect to new muscles and places and learn that Pilates can be different every day because we are different every day. It’s all a process, learning and a practice.”

With a BA in Sociology from St. Edward’s University in Austin, and a M.Ed. from New England College in Henniker, NH, she has worked as a farm hand, a social worker and English teacher, among others. In her spare time, you might find her walking, hiking, rock climbing, scuba diving, gardening or on/near the water solo, with family and/or friends.
