Anita Lugliani

 Anita Grew up in Sweden,and as she would tell you: it means you’re practically outdoors year around, staying active is second nature along with eating healthy and balanced. After working in the Airlines as a flight attendant along with birthing  four children she developed a few injuries in her neck as well as her upper back. She often suffered from Migraines, neck and back pain. She was  introduced to Pilates 16 years ago by a physical therapist she knew she had found her true passion, her body responded so well that her chronic pain went away, her back straightened itself out and she today has a better posture than she did in her 20’s. After seeing the results and loving Pilates, she got certified as a Third generation traditional Pilates Instructor as well as an Integrative  Nutritional Health Coach and to top it off she single handedly won 2021's South Bay's Best Barre Studio!

As Joseph Pilates said, “Change happens through movement, and movement heals”!

It’s been a pleasure teaching at Aspyn Method for the past year.  Our clients are AMAZING!

I started my Pilates journey 9 years ago to help with chronic pain.  It was the BEST advice I’ve ever received from a doctor.  Pilates has kept me going physically and is my go-to whole health and wellness medicine.  Outside of the studio, I have worked for the past 16 years at the Department of Veteran Affairs as a Vision Rehabilitation Specialist. My graduate degree is in Special Education with an emphasis in Visual Impairment and Blindness. Rehab and teaching are definitely my passions.  In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, all things wine, and the company of family and friends.

Hey, I'm Katrina and I teach on Wednesday evenings! I love pilates because of how it makes me feel - it's a great way to de-stress from how busy work and life can get. I became an instructor because I wanted to show my family and friends the amazing benefits of pilates. Outside of pilates, I spend my time working as a woman in tech, walking my two french bulldogs on The Strand, and traveling the world!

Hello! Hailing from the heart of Southern California, my journey into the world of fitness began through competitive volleyball, both indoors and on the beach. Recognizing the importance of injury prevention and holistic wellness, I turned to Pilates during my conditioning phases, discovering its transformative power firsthand. Since 2016, I've been dedicated to the practice, finding strength, balance, and resilience through each session. With an MBA under my belt and a career in international trade, I understand the demands of a busy lifestyle, making Pilates an essential cornerstone of my routine. Outside the studio, I find joy in cruising on my motorcycle and unwinding with leisurely walks alongside my dog, Koda.

Jocelyn stumbled upon the wonders of Pilates back in 2014 while seeking a remedy to counteract the effects of long days sitting behind a desk. Since embracing Pilates, she's discovered a whole new level of strength, both mentally and physically. Jocelyn is passionate about guiding clients toward their fitness goals and prioritizes core, alignment, and killer strength moves in her classes. Outside the studio, Jocelyn works as a mental health therapist. She loves bringing elements of the mind-body connection into her teaching as she believes a calm mind and a strong body are the ultimate combo for living your best life!

Hi, I’m Tiana — one of the newest members of the Aspyn Method family! I discovered my passion for Pilates a few years ago when I stumbled upon a class at my local gym. While I’ve always led an active lifestyle, Pilates was the first workout that truly resonated with me — it made me feel amazing both mentally and physically. From that very first class, I knew I wanted to share that feeling with others through teaching.
I’ve been teaching at Aspyn Method since January, and I’ve loved every moment of it!
When I’m not in the studio, I love spending time with friends and family, a good book, and hanging out with my cat, Theodore!

As the youngest Pilates instructor at Aspyn Method, I bring a unique energy and enthusiasm to every session I lead. Certified right here at Aspyn, I'm known for my dynamic, "kick-ass" classes that not only challenge the core but also embrace the traditional Pilates focus on stretching and lengthening the body. My approach to fitness is all about creating well-rounded routines that engage and empower my students.
Outside of the studio, my life is happily shared with my beloved dog, Miley, and cherished moments with my family. While I'm transitioning to Washington state to pursue my studies, my heart remains tied to the Aspyn Method community. I plan to return and substitute teach during my visits, ensuring that I stay connected to my students and continue to contribute to their Pilates journey.

Hi! I’m Lisa a native Californian, born and raised near the beach. I love the way Pilates makes me feel both mentally and physically. After 20 years of high-level competitive tennis, my knees back and shoulders were worn out. Pilates cured all my aches and pains and best of all prevented surgery. I started Pilates over 13 years ago, however, became an instructor a few years ago to perfect my form, learn more about the body and teach others also how to get the most out of their bodies. When I’m not at the studio, I run a national division for Global Logistics recruiters. I’m an avid animal lover, and love to travel the globe.
