Performance Pilates & Fascia

“Hi! I am Jill Gilbert Lucas, founder and owner of Gulf Coast Pilates in Kingwood Texas since 1999. I became a Pilates Master Instructor and Integrated Movement Specialist for Balanced Body in 2007. Since then I have also become a Spatial Medicine practitioner and a Rossiter coach. I use these and other modalities to educate clients on how to relieve pain, heal and prevent injuries and illness. I work with clients ranging from severe disabilities to elite athletes and all in between. I look forward to working with you at Performance Pilates!”! 

Cody co-owns Performance Pilates with business partner and Pilates teacher Michelle Long. Cody & Michelle met the first day of their Pilates teacher certification course in 2004. Continuing to study together, they became friends and formed a buisness partnership in 2010.  They are now certified through the Center for Spactial Medicine with Karin Locher.  Pilates work with a fascial approach teaches concepts of “space” in the body, distribution, and releasing tension for free and effortless movement. Previous Certifications include PEAK Pilates-Comprehensive, medically endorsed BUFF BONES®, and post grad work-- "Discover, Move, Inspire”. Cody is also a certified Rossiter® for Pain Relief Coach. In the past, Cody was a Houston Radio Personality.  If you’ve been in Houston long enough you may have heard her on Rock 101 KLOL, Classic Rock 93.7 the ARROW, KILT, or MIX 96.5.  With her passion for music, Cody also has a soft spot for animals, and a horse hobby since childhood.  She continues to participate in equestrian sports and believes in the fascial approach to Pilates as a way to excel at riding or any sport…including life!.

Joyce has been teaching Pilates for over twenty years. She was first introduced to it in 1985 while dancing with the Houston Ballet. Her interest in fascia was first ignited in 2004 at a workshop with Yamuna Zake, creator of Yamuna Body Rolling, and Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains. Joyce continued digging deeper into the concepts of fascia and spatial medicine, as well as continuing her Pilates studies with the Pilates Center of Boulder and many first generation teachers. 

In addition to Pilates, Jo is a Yamuna Body Rolling Practitioner as well as a coach and instructor of Rossiter for Pain Relief. She is the owner of Pilates Treehouse which is located in the Houston Heights area.

Jo is the only faculty member of the Centre for Spatial Medicine in the state of Texas.  She is proud to have mentored many talented Pilates teachers through CFSM’s Bridge Program and Teacher Trainings including Cody & Michelle.  They in turn share this work to a wider audience...and you!
