Kathleen Martins

Yoga Instructor and Yoga Therapist in training

Kathleen is a yoga instructor and yoga therapist in training focused on accessible, mindful movement and whole-body wellness. With a passion for creating inclusive, supportive, and empowering spaces, she guides intentional movement, breath, and connection for every level. 

With a background in psychology, mental health, and advocacy, and over 8+ years of experience in accessible and adaptive yoga, Kathleen brings a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to every class. Her teaching emphasizes mindful movement, breathwork, and nervous system regulation, helping students build strength, find ease, and reconnect with themselves at their own pace.

Whether you're new to yoga or deepening your practice, her classes are designed to feel welcoming, grounding and uplifting. 

Sarah Adams

Line Dancing Instructor

By day, Sarah is a dedicated manager with the US Postal Service - but the moment the music starts, she transforms into something else entirely.

The life of the party.
The spark in the room.
The energy you didn't know you needed. 

Born and raised in the rural South with a big city vibe, Sarah brings a unique blend of downhome warmth and undeniable presence. Her love for dance isn't something she studied - it's something she lives. From the first beat, she pulls you in with a contagious laugh, bold confidence, and a rhythm that makes it impossible to stand still. 

She's the friend that gets everyone on the dance floor.
The one leading the line before you even realized you've joined in.
The reason you leave class smiling, sweating, and already planning your next session.

Sarah's classes aren't about perfection - they're about letting go, having fun, and moving freely.

So, whether you know every step or none at all, one thing's for sure: 
If Sarah's teaching...you're dancing. 

 

Cassidy Cannady

Pilates /Strength Instructor

Cassidy’s journey with Élevé began as a member. One of the things we love most about our community is seeing women discover new passions, build confidence, and step into opportunities they may never have imagined for themselves.
Cassidy is a wife, mom, former teacher, and current nursing student. She has been practicing Pilates for the past three years and recently earned her Pilates instructor certification. What started as a personal fitness journey has now grown into an opportunity to help inspire and encourage other women along the way.
Cassidy will be bringing a fresh Pilates Sculpt style to the schedule, blending Pilates fundamentals with a modern, energetic approach to movement. Her classes will offer members another fun way to build strength, challenge themselves, and experience a different take on Pilates training.

Feel the Difference the Moment You Walk In

Stop by our Recovery Lounge and take a moment just for you

At Eleve, this space was created with intention-for women to walk in and instantly feel it. The calm. The energy. The vibe. The exhale you didn't know you needed. 

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered - from extra hair ties and dry shampoo to small touches like healthy snacks to go and cucumber water from our hydration station on your way out. 

More than a studio, this is a space where you can show up as you are, feel supported, and experience what it means to be truly cared for. 

Because this space was created for women, by a woman who understands that it's the small things that make you feel seen.
