LaRae

With a background in athletics, ballet, and a successful career leading teams in the fashion industry, LaRae has always been drawn to movement, connection, and helping others reach their potential. Her love of mentoring, coaching, and teaching naturally found a new home in Pilates.

Both the physical challenge and mind-body connection drew LaRae to Pilates, but it was Sara Ortlip’s thoughtful approach to movement, precision, and purposeful teaching that inspired her to become an instructor. She is certified in Reformer Pilates through Sara and is excited to start her teaching career at SOP.

LaRae brings warmth, patience, and a little fun to every session. She believes Pilates is a practice of continuous discovery and loves helping students build strength, move with intention, and recognize what they’re capable of. A lifelong learner herself, she approaches teaching with curiosity, care, and a genuine commitment to each student’s progress.

Her goal is simple: for every student to leave feeling challenged, confident, and more connected to their body.
