Rae Musitano
Mat Pilates Specialist
Hi, I’m Rae! I fell in love with Pilates for the way low impact movement made me feel stronger in my body and clearer in my mind and that’s what inspires every class I teach. I love finding the perfect balance between slow, controlled sequences and higher energy flows that build heat, strength, and confidence. My classes blend thoughtful pacing, creative transitions, full body work, and playlists that keep the vibe fun and motivating. I’m also continuing my education and certifications, and I fully believe in growing, evolving, and learning as the years go on so I can bring my best to every class. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or already in love with it, my goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and enjoy the process every step of the way!
