Please be aware that we have 3 long-hair Dachshunds, that serve as my therapy pets. If you are allergic or afraid of dogs, unfortunately, this may not be the right studio for you; they will be in the studio and near me almost 100% of the time.

The Pilates studio has a separate rrom in which they mainly stay throughout class quietly. They are all friendly; a few will want to smell you upon entry and may seek petting. Others may not wish to be touched (Presley is shy- read more below). They are my guard dogs and are used to being at my side or laying nearby watching me. They will sit in their dog seat and observe class and sessions quietly. They are trained to remind me at the end of class and they may take part in the final roll down at the end of the sessions. We are sorry if this is an inconvenience.

My passion is to help others find a working connection and deeper understanding to their mind & body. I use imagerary, demonstration, and taticle cueing to help other find where they need to be while doing the movements properly. I focus on breath work and a combination of classical movements and contemporary styles. I am a big believer in proper form, alignment, and using hands on spoting or correction when needed. I am able to modify most movements and bodies. And I will work with any of your medical professionals advice on rehabilitation exercises post op. I give contunious feedback and never teach the same class twice.

I not only like helping people, I also love helping animals, in particular Dachshunds. When I am not teaching people you will find me with my doxies. I volunteer with the Dachshund Rescue of Houston (Droh), and all of my dogs are rescues (2 from Droh).

Waylon is the newest edition to the CORE movement Studio Team. He currently is in training to help Victoria instruct CoreAlign session and Private lessons involving the Cadillac and Ladder Barrel. When he isn’t following Victoria’s around, he can be found quietly observing classes under the reformers checking springs , loving on a lamb chop, or slacking off napping with one or both of the other dogs. Some-days he prefers to stay in the office working on our marketing plans, updating our social pages, scrolling endlessly online, or playing with his toys. Please feel free to pet and love him if/when he makes an appearance. However please do NOT pick him up! He has spine issues and he needs to be picked up in a very specific manner to protect his body as he suffered from IVDD ( similar to disc-herniation in humans) .

Presley is the head of Security at The CORE Movement Studio. She likes to make the rounds in the studio and making sure Victoria and clients are safe at all times. Presley prefers to judge peoples character from afar and will very rarely let you pet her. She is a shy around new people. This may or may not pass; Please do not take it personal. If you see her grace us with her presence, ignore her, as she will find a spot near Ella or Waylon in their bed. If you try to pet her, she'll likely run away. She has been known to come up to some clients at the very end of class to let some clients pet her. If she comes up to you then you have earned her trust.

Ella has many nicknames such as Pup-pa, Ellita, puppasita, Elliephant, & Ellie-fur. She answers to none of those! Ella is was a part of Victoria’s teacher training program, but after 2 years she has decided to move on to a more important role as our Chief Customer Officer . You will see Ella 1st upon arrival. Be prepared as she loves to sniff everyone as they enter and greet them by rolling over looking for pets and a belly rub. She will also want to follow you upon departure ( please don’t take her or let her out !) Ella will make appearances in class, especially if you give her treats. However, typically she will sleep throughout the class session in her dog bed if she isn’t in the office calling clients and having meetings with the staff. She is a excited & happy dog who is extremely loving to all . Feel free to pet her and expect her to roll over at your feet and ask for belly rubs at the end of class when you perform the final roll down sequence.
