ABOUT

We are Ali + Macy, a PT+OT duo who became friends one year ago (May 9, 2025) in a strawberry field.

Initially relating on our love for Christ, wellness, movement and health, we quickly realized we wanted to connect.

Then our mutual friend, Rachael who we call our catalyst told Ali that Macy had a vision earlier that year from the Lord to open a Pilates studio.

Initially, Ali thought well, I have a space! After lots of prayer, conversation and connection, Macy and Ali decided to pursue the venture together.

With timing all lining up, their friend and mentor Chandler Sanders had just offered her first cohort of pilates instructor trainings through Pilates Academy International in July of 2025.

Our combined years as movement professionals and love for all things health and wellness drive our passion for connection and community, and to share this love.

Our prayer for Rooted Pilates is a studio ROOTED in faith, love and community connection.

Colossians 2:6–7 (NIV)
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

Ephesians 3:17–19 (NIV)
“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power… to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”

417, we cannot wait to create roots with you! 🌿

OUR STUDIO'S VISION

As a PT and OT, Macy and Ali are passionate about functional movement- movement with purpose, intention, breath, core connection, and movement in all planes of the body- the foundational concepts introduced by Joseph Pilates.

One thing sets us apart, however, that safe functional movement does not look like perfection. You show up, and we will help you feel rooted.

Our goal is that you grow your pilates practice, nourished with community connection and a sacred, safe space.
