Chase Beason, Co-Founder
Born and raised in Orange Beach, Alabama, my journey began at Orange Beach Elementary and has always been rooted in movement--from gymnastics and cheer to soccer and dance. That passion led me to study Nutrition Science as a Pre-Med major, where I fell in love with the human body and holistic wellness.
Though life took me away at times, Orange Beach always called me back. Six years ago, I returned home with a dream to build something meaningful for our community.
Discovering Pilates transformed my relationship with fitness. The blend of strength, flexibility, balance, and breathwork was unlike anything I'd experienced. Creating Pura Vida Pilates is my way of sharing that transformation with all of you. This studio is more than a place to move.. it's a space for connection, growth, and becoming your strongest self.
Beau Haginas, Co-Founder
Born in Mobile and rooted in Orange Beach, Alabama, I've spent most of my life navigating the ups and downs that come with growth and change. One constant through it all? Movement.
When life feels chaotic, showing up for yourself physically creates clarity and momentum. At 43, I feel stronger than ever--not because things got easier, but because I made my health a priority.
Pura Vida Pilates is an extension of that mindset. Chase and I created this space to reflect a life grounded in wellness, connection, and resilience. While I'm mostly behind the scenes-supporting our team and vision, I stay inspired by this community every day. Outside the studio, you'll find me golfing, cooking, or chasing our golden retriever, Maya. For me, Pura Vida is about choosing to show up.. intentionally, consistently, and fully alive.
