Elyse comes to Meta with a degree in Music Education and Performing Arts from Kennesaw State University. In her “First Act”, Elyse jumped into facilitating Corporate Management training and development for multiple retail corporations spanning a two decade career.

In 2018, Elyse stepped away from the corporate training world and returned to her first passion of teaching movement and fitness in a small group and private setting. She holds Level I and II Comprehensive Certifications in Classical Pilates from Peak Pilates.

In addition to teaching Classical Pilates, Elyse is also a full-time Homeschool Mom and performs with the First Redeemer Choir and Orchestra.

From 3 years old, Molly fell in love with movement.  She danced, twirled, tumbled, and kicked until she faced her first health crisis at just 22, with the diagnosis of Graves disease and full radiation of her thyroid at 23.  This would not be the last battle she would overcome.  Molly continued to find new ways to move, while walking out a lifetime journey of healing with herself and her family and refusing to ever give up her joy and tenacity.

Molly’s natural tendency is to overflow her healing and lessons to others.  She is relentless in her pursuit of wholeness and health.  This tenacity has helped her face her family’s greatest challenge, as her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma (brain cancer) during the middle of the pandemic.  She pivoted and added lymphatic rebounding and yoga as some of the most powerful healing modalities for strengthening the immune system as her family entered the fight of their life.

Molly brings joy, laughter, and incredible energy to every class and client that she encounters. 

After 30 years serving students, working with special needs, English language learners, teenagers with medical and emotional challenges in high school, homeless students, Anne retired.  2020 was the year Anne retired and began one of her biggest transformations, reconnecting to her love of yoga.

She knew something was missing and remembered how powerful her practice was in several major life transitions, including her own back and neck degeneration and her mother’s diagnosis of dementia.  Diving into her first 200hr yoga training, Anne discovered the deeper healing available through a strong mind body practice that transcends into emotional healing and overcoming anxiety from life’s difficult seasons.

Anne has a passion for creating a safe space that is non-judgemental and non-competitive.  Her yoga involves a deeply activated core, with a focus on balance and deep breath, and deep connection to the body. She loves using props (especially the Pilates Power Circle) to deliver a challenging but fully restorative class.
