OUR INSTRUCTORS
Kaitlyn was born and raised in Southern California and discovered Pilates through her background in dance. Inspired by its transformative benefits, she pursued teacher training at Mt. San Antonio College and has been teaching for over 10 years. She loves leading faster-paced flows with a strong emphasis on form, helping clients build strength, confidence, and body awareness.
Kaitlyn
Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sam grew up as a dancer, which led her to discover Pilates while attending Chapman University. With five years of teaching experience, she blends classical and contemporary styles to create engaging and dynamic classes. Sam focuses on the fundamentals in Core 1 and Core 2, helping clients build strength, confidence, and body awareness while keeping movement fun and challenging.
Sam
Frederica began her teaching journey 10 years ago in New York City while working as a media and technology executive. After years of prolonged sitting and travel, she turned to yoga and Pilates to relieve physical and mental stress. Initially pursuing teacher training to deepen her own practice, she discovered a passion for teaching and has since accumulated over 20 years of experience in both disciplines. Frederica’s classes focus on efficient, flowing movement while providing practical cues that extend beyond the studio—helping clients apply Pilates principles to everyday life for better posture, breath control, and overall well-being.

Georgia
Georgia didn’t grow up athletic—movement often felt foreign and disconnected. That all changed when she discovered Pilates, which taught her true body awareness, strength, and the power of mind-body connection. As an instructor, she’s passionate about guiding others to experience that same transformation. A lifelong learner, Georgia continues to deepen her understanding of the Pilates method and is thrilled to join the Coastal Core team, bringing challenging yet supportive classes to the community.
Victoria
Victoria was born and raised in San Diego, California and found her passion for Pilates being a student herself. With her deep passion for helping others and the benefits of Pilates on the mind and body, she began teaching a year ago. She loves a fun full body flow that is equally energizing and challenging, and for all levels. If she can help even one person feel stronger or more confident, she knows she's doing something right.
Svea
Svea was born and raised in Cologne, Germany and moved to the U.S. three years ago. With a background in gymnastics and coaching, movement has always been part of her life. She discovered Pilates in Atlanta and loved how it built her confidence and strength. Now based in California and newly certified, she’s excited to help others feel strong, confident, and at home in their bodies.
Shaylie has been teaching Reformer Pilates for around two years and was drawn to the practice for its ability to improve strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. After experiencing its benefits firsthand, she decided to become an instructor to help others feel their best. Her favorite part of teaching is guiding clients toward greater confidence in their bodies while enhancing mobility and strength. Shaylie strives to create a supportive, personalized environment where everyone can achieve their fitness goals at their own pace.
