Alyson joins Right Balance Pilates with over 20 years’ experience in different fitness modalities. As a former Division I Lacrosse Player for Cornell University, she has always had a passion for being active and encourages “active playing” on a daily basis. Alyson took her first Pilates reformer class in when she lived in San Francisco, CA in 2001 and immediately fell in love with it. Pilates formally re-entered her life in April 2021, as a form of rehabilitation for her body and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Alyson quickly realized how beneficial this was to not only her overall body recovery, but also for her brain’s recovery and rehabilitation.

Alyson completed her Right Balance Pilates Reformer Teacher Training in 2023. She is an ACSM certified personal trainer, a 200 Hour Yoga certified instructor, with special training in Yin yoga and TBI friendly yoga, an N.S.S.I.A certified surf instructor, a Wellcoaches trained Health Coach, a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and holds a Master of Science in Health Promotion from the University of Delaware where she ran fitness and yoga classes.

Alyson also holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago, B.A. from Cornell University in Economics with minors in French and Art History and certifications in Astrology.

Alyson has worked locally with The Body Shop Fitness Center, Dimitra Yoga, SoulFire Collective, Studio One, SPCA yoga events, and with The Ocean is My Guru for surf lessons and surf camps. She grew up playing field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, and swimming competitively starting at the age of 6. She has run three half marathons, one marathon, and multiple 5Ks. Alyson loves to teach people of all ages, infusing her classes with a playful levity that challenges the student to have fun while trying to do their best.

Alyson returned home to Delaware in 2014 after living and working all over the country. She currently lives in Rehoboth Beach with her dog, Molly. Outside the studio, you can find her at Coral Cove on Rehoboth Ave, surfing, paddle boarding with Molly, traveling, writing about the astrological forecast, and spending as much time outside as possible with friends and family. Alyson looks forward to having you in class!
