Meet Lacy

Hi, I’m Lacy, co-founder of Shine Pilates and one of the instructors you’ll see most often in the studio. I first discovered Pilates during my second pregnancy, and it was the perfect fit for me through the transition of pregnancy and postpartum. No matter where I was in life or what my body was capable of, Pilates met me there. It became the one form of movement I truly stuck with, not only because it’s effective, but because it feels so good. I love that Pilates is built on wellness-driven principles that work with your body, helping you build strength, endurance, and balance in a way that uplifts and empowers.

Over time, what started as a personal practice grew into a passion for teaching and creating community. I’ve fallen in love with sharing Pilates because it’s so much more than exercise,  it’s a way to connect, recharge, and give back to the community in meaningful ways.

I hold a Comprehensive Pilates Certification and have pursued specialty workshops in Postpartum Movement and Pelvic Floor health. I’m also a trained Postpartum Doula, which makes supporting new moms especially close to my heart. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates, navigating recovery, or simply looking to build strength and energy, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you discover what’s possible in your body.

Meet Sarah

I’ve been practicing Pilates for over 10 years and teaching for 7, and it has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. Born and raised in Reno, I love being rooted in this community and sharing the power of movement with others.

My early morning classes have become a signature offering—and my favorite way to start the day. What inspires me most as a teacher is watching people grow stronger, more confident, and more connected to their own bodies. Even a single class can bring the gift of presence, and I love creating that space for my clients.

Outside the studio, I also work as a longtime realtor and hospice volunteer (I am a trained Death Doula). Whether it’s guiding someone into a new home, supporting families in tender moments, or helping clients feel alive in their bodies through Pilates, my purpose is the same: to walk alongside people through life’s different stages with strength, a loving presence, compassion, and care.
