THE TEACHERS
Six certified. One studio.
Every teacher at Stacked is fully certified through STOTT or a recognized Pilates affiliate. All continue their education through courses, workshops, and working with the equipment daily.
FOUNDER & LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Alana Cosentino.
Alana grew up dancing. By her twenties she was in New York City — a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall, then performing on Broadway. Kicking in sequence with the Rockettes is how she paid her rent.
Then came the sprained ankle. Mid-show. Backstage physio. A referral to a Pilates reformer. "I was learning to engage muscles I never even knew about," she says. The ankle healed. The interest didn't.
She came home to Canada, completed her full Pilates certification, and in October 2011 opened Stacked in Suite 107 of the Absolute World towers. She has run the studio, trained the team, and taught most of the schedule for fifteen years.
If you've wondered whether the Rockette story is real — it's real. If you've wondered whether she still teaches — she does. Most weeks, mornings and Saturdays.
"I want every client to feel strong. That's the whole point. The studio should embody joy — and joy comes from knowing your body can do more than you thought."
— Alana
THE STUDIO
The teachers who'll know your name.
All six of us teach the same philosophy — small class, personal cues, real work. We're different humans with different favorite formats, and you'll find yours.
Sharon
Certified Instructor
Years of reformer experience. Loved for precision cues and a class that moves. Teaches Dynamic, Restorative, and Jump & Lift across the week.
Favorite format: Jump & Lift on Saturdays.
Pina
Certified Instructor
Reformer and mat certified. Known for a Restorative class that feels like a reset button. Patient, precise, and genuinely interested in how your body is moving that day.
Favorite format: Restorative Reformer.
Kyla
Certified Instructor
Trained through multiple Pilates affiliates. Teaches the signature Dynamic Reformer and Jump & Lift. The teacher who'll find a cue for something you've been struggling with for months.
Favorite format: Reformer Circuit.
Julia
Certified Instructor
Background in dance and Pilates. Brings a choreographer's eye to alignment — watches the whole body, not just the working joint. Great for ex-dancers and anyone who cares about looking strong, not just being strong.
Favorite format: Mat Reformer.
Jade
Certified Instructor
STOTT-certified. A favorite among beginners — patient, detailed, and warm. If your intro special is with Jade, you're going to be fine. Then you're going to be strong.
Favorite format: Intro privates & Longevity 55+.
CONTINUING ED
We're still students.
Every teacher at Stacked keeps learning — STOTT workshops, pre/post natal certifications, equipment trainings, mentorships. You can feel it when the person cueing you is curious.
A studio that stops learning becomes a gym.
