Liz has been practicing Pilates since 2017, and loved it so much, she decided to undergo Stott instructor training to get others excited about practicing Pilates as well.

Having taught in environments ranging from physical therapy clinics to the Pacific Northwest Ballet and Bodycenter Studios (where she also received her training and certification 15+ years ago,) she has had the joy of helping countless individuals achieve their physical goals through their Pilates practice. Whether it has been in private sessions or in the group class setting, Uraina takes pride in hearing from clients how much they appreciate her articulate cuing of not only the exercises, but also of the proper muscular activation and how to troubleshoot common (and unusual!) physical compensations. She finds it very fulfilling to help people gain even greater awareness of their bodies and its abilities.

Arielle Wilson
My name is Arielle, and I’m passionate about all things movement. My Pilates journey began in high school when I used it along with workout tapes to shed some extra weight while transitioning into young adulthood. It worked wonders and helped prepare me for dance classes. As an adult, I rediscovered my love for fitness and became an avid gym-goer. My path into personal training started with NASM education, and I haven’t looked back since.
Pilates re-entered my life when I met a wonderful instructor who traveled the world teaching and hosting retreats. That experience led me to explore instructors on YouTube, where I developed a regular mat Pilates routine. A few years later, I took the plunge and got certified through STOTT Pilates to refine my skills and deepen my practice. I fell in love with Pilates all over again and can’t wait to share this passion with my students.
As an instructor, I emphasize Joe Pilates' philosophy on breath and control. It’s incredibly important to me to guide students in learning proper technique while enjoying new and challenging ways to move. Watching students grow in their practice and connect with their bodies is truly a highlight of what I do. I look forward to joining you on this journey.Let’s move together and show your body some love!
