Align Pilates Indy: Elevate Your Wellness Journey

I’m a certified Pilates instructor and proud owner of Align Pilates Indy, with five years of experience helping clients build strength, mobility, and confidence—both physically and mentally. My passion for Pilates is rooted in its ability to transform lives, and I’m dedicated to creating a supportive, empowering space where every client can reach his or her full potential. Outside the studio, I’m all about quality time with my family and giving endless love to every dog I meet (and yes, I remember their names better than I do most humans). Fun fact: I can cue a perfect teaser while holding a coffee and petting a golden retriever—multitasking is my superpower.

Crystal is a passionate Pilates instructor who discovered the healing power of movement through her own recovery journey following foot surgery and spinal issues. Pilates helped her rebuild strength, resilience, and energy—an experience she now brings to her students with purpose and care.

Certified in both comprehensive Pilates (500 hours) and as an RYT® 500 yoga instructor, Crystal integrates Mat, Reformer, TRX, Chair, Cadillac, Ladder Barrel, Springboard, and Spine Corrector into her classes. Her sessions are dynamic yet focused, with an emphasis on form, alignment, and mindful movement.

Crystal’s classes offer a supportive space to build strength, improve mobility, and reconnect with your body—because she believes movement is not just exercise, but a path to transformation.

An Indiana native and IU Bloomington graduate, I’ve been teaching yoga since 2016 and recently expanded into Pilates after over 15 years of personal practice. I’m a 500-hour certified yoga instructor with comprehensive Pilates training, passionate about intentional movement that strengthens the body, enhances flexibility, and deepens the mind-body connection.

My classes blend mindfulness and strength to help you feel grounded, aligned, and empowered. Outside the studio, I love live music, travel, nature, and relaxing at home with my dogs. 🖤
