Molly Van Oostrum
Studio Owner & Pilates Instructor
Welcome. I have been teaching Pilates for 15 years and have learned so much throughout my journey. I discovered Pilates after my second child was born. As a very active person, I found that Pilates was the only form of exercise that was helping my body function effectively. After taking a class at a local gym 17 years ago, I realized that Pilates was the “thing” I wanted to practice for the rest of my life; and teaching was the perfect way to fit that in. I aim to help each one of my students bring Pilates into their lives to support their daily activities, whether they are super busy and athletic, or just going about their daily routines. I truly love that Pilates builds an amazing foundation within each person’s body and spirit.

Michele Stokes
Pilates Instructor & Owner/Operator of Gyre Wellness
I have studied Pilates extensively and it is one of my favorite forms of exercise. It is not only a fantastic workout, but it is extremely therapeutic. I have trained with the international Merrithew Company, and I am a Stott Pilates Trainer in Mat and Reformer. I also trained with 24 Hour Fitness and IWWA.
During my career I also held an Ace Council on Exercise Group Fitness Certificate for 18 years and have been through multiple YMCA trainings, holding certificates for YMCA Fitness Specialist and Strength and Conditioning, their version of personal training, and YMCA Leadership Trainings. I love learning and studying, and I have dedicated my entire career to health, wellness and fitness.
My hobbies and interests include hiking and the outdoors, cuddling and walking with my dog, cooking, dance, reading great fiction and non-fiction books, and spending time with loved ones.
