Hi, I’m Lana.
This is my why.

Fitness has always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years taking classes, trying different workouts, learning, teaching, and finding what I love about movement.

But even when something is part of who you are, life can get in the way.

When 2020 happened, my routine changed. My Peloton and I never really clicked, and my workouts took a back seat. Then came severe back issues and sciatica. I wanted to feel stronger again. I wanted to feel like myself.

That experience stayed with me. So did how much I loved helping people—getting to know them, encouraging them, and being part of their journey. I kept thinking, if I could do this every day, it wouldn’t feel like work.

After years of working in the corporate world for other people, I decided to take a chance on something that meant a lot to me. Life is short, and I wanted to spend more of mine doing something I loved.

That’s why I created Elevated Soul.

I wanted a place where people could work hard and feel comfortable being themselves. Where someone brand new to Pilates could walk in and feel welcome, without feeling judged.

I know walking into a studio for the first time can be intimidating. You don’t know the equipment. You don’t know anyone. You might wonder if you’ll be able to keep up or if you even belong there.

I care so much about how you feel when you walk through that door. I want you to ask questions, take a break, laugh, and try again without feeling embarrassed. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone here.

The little things matter to me, too. The music. A personal welcome. A cold towel. A handwritten note when you reach a milestone. Those details are part of how I show you that I care.

I love getting to know the people who come here and being part of their journey. That was what I wanted when I started this, and it’s still what means the most to me.

I put so much of myself into Elevated Soul, and I hope you feel that when you’re here.

With SOUL,

Lana
