Emily - Core Founder portrait

Founder-led practice

Created by Emily.

Emily is a fully certified Stott Advanced Pilates instructor and Gyrotonic Level 2 instructor. Her approach is shaped by her own journey through chronic stiffness, weightlifting and yoga injuries, neck and shoulder tension, burnout, and learning to listen deeply to the body.

Pilates gave her physical relief and mental quiet. Gyrotonic opened a more fluid, spiral, three-dimensional way of moving. Core brings those ideas together in a studio that feels technical, nurturing, and deeply human.

Values

Technical excellence, held with warmth.

Precision

Every session is grounded in alignment, progression, breath, articulation, and quality of movement.

Restoration

The work supports people who feel stressed, tense, desk-bound, or disconnected from their bodies.

Community

Core should feel intimate, inclusive, and unforced: a place where people know each other by name.

Our Trainers

Our instructors bring together technical precision, thoughtful observation, and genuine warmth. Each teacher is here to help you move with more awareness, strength, and ease.
