Lisa Deveaux – Founder & Pilates Instructor

Lisa Deveaux is a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor with a B.A. in Economics from The University at Albany and a 20-year background in the financial services industry, where she worked as a project manager and business analyst on technology-driven projects.

Her Pilates journey began over 25 years ago—with a mat on the floor of her bedroom and a DVD as her guide. What started as a personal practice quickly grew into a passion. Lisa believes deeply in the transformative power of Pilates and that every body deserves access to its benefits.

In 2019, she transitioned from lifelong student to teacher, completing her certification through KF 360 Pilates & Wellness under the guidance of Kimberly Fielding. Lisa is comprehensively trained in mat, reformer, chair, trapeze table, and ladder barrel. A devoted lifelong learner, she has completed the Heritage Training Program with Cara Reeser, a trauma-informed yoga certification through Exhale to Inhale, the AnatoMat Anatomy Intensive with Danica Kalemdaroglu, and several Advanced Mover Series with Maria Earle.

Outside the studio, Lisa is an avid traveler with an insatiable curiosity for culture, cuisine, music, and human connection. She journals most mornings, delights in a good book, and savors her tea—always without sugar.
