I have done Pilates for many years but I had developed some patterns that were causing me consistent back pain and pelvic restrictions. I felt grateful to discover Lisa and Krista. Lisa was able to quickly diagnose my dysfunctional patterns and design a program for me that addressed them. I often call her “eagle eyes” as she catches the most subtle of cheats, but it speaks to her attentiveness and I have come far quickly with LISA. Due to my scoliosis I have also worked with Krista. It has been a game changer to more fully understand how I am compensating and how to bring a conscious awareness into areas of my body that have been numb for many years.
Together they have created a plan so I have tools to continue at home.
Both of these professionals bring a wealth of experience and innovation, deep caring, and a spry sense of humour as sometimes you just need that!

Most notably, Krista is immensely knowledgeable about body anatomy, structure, movement, strength and healing. You will be lucky to be a client of Krista's, as you will be in the best hands out there!

It’s hard to believe that I have been working with Lisa Erlic for over 3 years now, but we began working together in the fall of 2020. Back then, I was so totally naive about what I was getting myself into, as all I knew was that Pilates was supposed to be good for people with hypermobility issues like myself. I quickly learned that this was something that I needed in my life regularly - it was so much more than what I initially expected! We have fostered a beautiful relationship over the years which is unparalleled to anything I have ever experienced. Lisa’s expert knowledge and experience meets me where my body is, and it seems like she always knows what I need. Her compassion, the space she holds for me, and her dedication to helping me build strength and feel good in my body as my guide through my Pilates journey is truly priceless. She planted the seeds very early on and nurtures them at every lesson and class I have with her. Whether it’s a private lesson, a group class, or a MELT Method session, I highly recommend Lisa to be your guide as well.
I also had the pleasure of working with Krista remotely a few times through some Zoom classes, and I loved her energy and creativity during those sessions. They were fun and challenging, but also suitable for multiple levels by teaching the basics and building up to the challenges for those who were ready for them. Her laugh, like Lisa’s, might just be a bit infectious and put a smile on your face like it does for me.
You really can’t go wrong working with Lisa or Krista. You’ll be met wherever your body and mind are at, and you’ll find yourself in engaging movement with down to earth and fun teachers guiding and supporting you the whole way.
