Our Team
Emily Hudson
Emily is a firm believer that movement heals. Your workout should leave you feeling better than when you walked in the door and with a sense of being more whole, connected, energetic and joyful! She believes her path has led her back to her hometown because the people of Wilmington, NC need these movement systems and her unique background and training can provide this.
Emily was first introduced to pilates in 2005 at Appalachian State University while she was completing her undergraduate studies in Music Therapy. Emily completed ASU’s Classical Pilates Teacher Training program in 2007. This program included 600+ hours of study in all aspects of the system. After graduating from ASU Emily then moved to Cleveland, OH and began teaching pilates at Inspiral Motion. It was here she was fully introduced to THE GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. The 3-dimensional movements took Emily’s already strong mind-body connection to a much deeper level and she was immediately hooked! When Emily isn’t sharing movement with her clients she is busy teaching her 2 young boys how to be good men, riding horses, or going on dates with her hubby Jay.

Gabriela Lancaster
One constant in Gabriela’s life has been her passion for wellness. From a young age she found solace in various forms of movement. She was first introduced to Pilates in high school when she began attending mat classes at a local gym. However, it wasn’t until she started her undergraduate studies at Appalachian State University that she was exposed to the world of Classical Pilates. She immediately fell in love with the method, its rich history, and became deeply committed when she witnessed not only physical but also mental results.
Gabriela had previously struggled with an eating disorder and body image issues, but the Classical Pilates method has provided her with a means to gain confidence in her own skin and take control of her mind and body.
Gabriela’s recent accomplishment of completing a comprehensive 600+ hour Pilates teacher training program speaks to her dedication and knowledge in this field. After her training, she was ready to return to her hometown, Wilmington, NC, excited to bring the benefits of Pilates to her community. She aims to create a warm and inclusive studio atmosphere where both newcomers and longtime Pilates enthusiasts can feel at home.
Her approach is client-centered, and she tailors workouts to meet each individuals unique needs. Whether you’re looking to build strength, increase mobility, enhance flexibility, or require rehabilitation, she is committed to crafting personalized Pilates routines that will help you achieve your goals.
Gabriela understands the value of investing in one’s health. For her, Pilates has been a transformative journey. It’s not just exercise; it’s a way to reconnect with your body and mind. She thinks everyone should give Pilates a try, the chances are you’ll probably love it!
Testimonials
“Emily Hudson is an incredibly professional Classical Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor. Her ability to honor the parameters of the two disciplines yet individualize the practice for her clients’ specific needs deserves more than a five-star rating. I started with Pilates yet the rotational sequences of the Gyrotonic work relieves my back pain better than any meds or medical intervention. My body is without pain and performs at a higher level when I am able to work with Emily on a frequent schedule. I recommend her without reservation.”
“After suffering bilateral rotator cuff injuries, I had to leave my busy career as a massage therapist to avoid surgery. I had tried acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and I was still in so much pain that I could barely move. By divine intervention, I found Emily and scheduled 3 sessions just to try it. There was drastic improvement after the second session. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night because of pain. I used to have to ask for help hanging a shower curtain because my shoulders hurt too much. I can do it myself now. I used to have to take muscle relaxers for the pain. I haven’t filled that prescription since trying gyrotronic. She helped me regain the use of my shoulders again and I’ve recommended her to others.”
“I have been working with Emily since 2015. I fell in love with Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis. I look forward to every session which is filled with stretching and spiraling movements. I was extremely stiff in my upper body and Emily has helped me to loosen these muscles and relax. I enjoy the workouts that Emily provides. I’m not bored with doing the same workout over and over; I’m refreshed both mentally and physically. Gyrotonic is unlike any workout that I have ever experienced. It is a must try and she is the best instructor!!”
“I have been working with Emily for over 5 years now. I do both Pilates and Gyro with her and love it! She has helped me come back with my Pilates practice (I am a certified instructor) after illness and injury, and the Gyrotonic was absolutely instrumental in my recovery. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. The benefits of both practices are worth every penny! ”
