Daphne Instructors
Anna
Studio Manager & Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Anna! I’m originally from Mobile, Alabama and have called the Daphne area home for the last 6 years.
I’m a certified reformer pilates instructor with over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry. My background includes pilates, barre, yoga, strength training, personal training, and group fitness, and I love bringing all of that experience into the way I teach.
What I love most about Pilates is how intentional it is. It builds strength, control, mobility, and body awareness while still being adaptable to so many different bodies and fitness levels. There’s always something to refine, strengthen, or improve, which is one of the things that keeps me so passionate about it.
In my classes, you can expect thoughtful programming, attention to form, plenty of encouragement, and a workout that feels both welcoming and challenging. My goal is for every client to leave feeling stronger, more connected to their body, and proud of what they accomplished.
Outside of the studio, I’m a mom, a golden retriever lover, and someone who genuinely loves movement, wellness, and helping people feel confident in their bodies. I’m so excited to be part of the PVP community and can’t wait to have you in class!
Bailey
Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m a Daphne native, born and raised right here on the Eastern Shore, and a Certified Reformer Pilates Instructor.
What I love most about Pilates is that it truly meets you wherever you are. There’s always a way to challenge yourself, get a little stronger, and leave feeling better than when you walked in.
In my classes, you can expect good energy, lots of encouragement, a challenge, and definitely a few laughs along the way. My goal is for everyone to leave feeling stronger, accomplished, and glad they took the time to show up for themselves.
Outside the studio, I’m happiest by the water, at the beach, trying a new workout, or spending time with my favorite people.

I love Pilates for its perfect mix of structure, energy, and the atmosphere of group training. My classes are all about creating a supportive environment for every experience level with great music and intentional movement.
Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me outdoors, on the water, or hanging with my dog Hutch. I can’t wait to meet you in the studio!
Valeria
Pilates Instructor
Hi! I’m Valeria, originally from Germany/France and Peru. I have called the Daphne/Eastern Shore area home for the past 11 years.
I’m a Certified Reformer Pilates Instructor and a former dancer and student-athlete with 20+ years of dance experience. I fell in love with Pilates because of its dynamic, challenging movement and the way it brings people together to move, sweat, and feel strong. Pilates gives you the opportunity to challenge your body while also having fun and I love creating an environment where everyone feels motivated to push themselves!
In my classes, you can expect high energy, challenging workouts, and lots of fun no matter what time of day it is! I love pushing clients to challenge themselves and work those muscles until they’re feeling that good kind of burn.
And for my Latinas… get ready for some Latino and reggaeton music! My international background definitely makes its way into my playlists and classes. Expect good music, good energy, lots of laughs, and a workout that will leave you feeling stronger and more confident when you walk out than when you walked in.
A few fun facts about me: I speak English, Spanish, and French fluently, I was born in Germany, lived in France for 11 years and have a strong Latina/Hispanic background. I’m also a HUGE fan of workout fashion so come ready to show off your favorite matching sets and cutest workout fits!
Come for the Pilates, stay for the music, energy, and community! I can’t wait to see you on the reformer!
Leah
Pilates Instructor
Hi! I’m Leah, a certified Reformer Pilates instructor born and raised on the Eastern Shore in Fairhope!
I fell in love with pilates in college when it quickly became my time to step away from classes, work, and everything else to just focus on myself.
In my classes, you can expect upbeat energy, positive instruction, with a playlist that incorporates house and some sprinkled in rap. I like my classes to be challenging but fun!
Outside of the studio, I’m a big fan of the beach, traveling, good music, reading, and coffee. So if you have a good book recommendation or want to grab coffee, I’m always down!
Jillian
Pilates Instructor
Hi! I'm Jillian, a Daphne native, wife and mom to 4 little girls. Prior to becoming a certified reformer pilates instructor, I was a professional dancer and teacher. I am most passionate about my family, my health, the art of movement and empowering others to feel their best, from the inside out.
I fell in love with Pilates because it builds strength, improves flexibility and challenges the body while helping you feel more confident and connected to yourself. You can expect my class to be high-energy, fun, challenging and a playlist that will leave you ready for more.
Whether you're new to Pilates or a seasoned pro, I will keep you moving, motivated and smiling the whole way through!

Hi, I’m Abby Mannich! I’m a certified reformer Pilates instructor from Fairhope. I love that Pilates challenges you not only physically, but mentally. There’s something so rewarding about pushing yourself, staying present through each movement, and realizing you’re capable of more than you thought.
I’m a house music/EDM girlie, so you can expect to have the best time, with the best music, while getting the best workout. My goal is for you to leave class feeling strong, accomplished, energized, and maybe even wishing the party could keep going!
Outside of Pilates, I work in digital marketing and am a beauty content creator. I’ve always loved being creative, connecting with people, and building community. I’m so excited to bring all of that energy into the studio and make Pilates something you genuinely look forward to!

Sydney
Pilates Instructor
Hi! I’m Sydney, originally from Lafayette, Louisiana. I’ve called the area home for the past year, but I’ve been vacationing here every summer since I was little, so it has always felt like a special place to me.
I’m a Certified Reformer Pilates Instructor and love Pilates for the mental break it provides, along with the excitement of learning and mastering new skills. My clients can expect an energized, creative, and encouraging vibe from me, and I’m passionate about creating a welcoming community within the studio.
A fun fact about me is that I rode horses competitively for 10 years! My equestrian background has taught me so much about strength, balance, control, and body awareness, and I love incorporating those principles into my Pilates training.
When I’m not at the studio, you can usually find me on the water with my friends and two puppies, soaking up as much time outdoors as possible!
