Multi-generational. Female-founded.
Built for strength, connection, and whole-person health.
Our Classes are more than a one-hour workout.
They're a foundation of whole-person health, leaving you refreshed, relieved, and ready to take on the day (and maybe with the shakes!).
Our space is more than a pretty building.
It's a calming studio intentionally designed to reduce mental clutter and promote peace. Because your environment shapes you.
Our instructors are more than friendly faces.
They're experts in Pilates technique, mental health services, and the mind-body connection. And, they sure know how to light the fire under your booty!

We can't wait to meet you in the studio and shake it out together.
Karen Penn
Meet the core of Core Connection Studio. For years, Karen has dreamed of creating a Pilates studio that put the mind-body connection first. And now, you’re standing on the other side of that vision. As a long-time Pilates practicer, it got personal as the Reformer was a key part of her breast cancer recovery. She’s pushed through physical and mental battles and knows the impact that bringing those two focuses together can have in your wellness journey. Above all, she hopes this is a space for healing, growth, and connection.
Kelly Lowery
Kelly is the secret sauce that makes CCS a one-of-a-kind studio. As a licensed psychologist, she knows the strength it takes to prioritize your wellbeing and the courage to show up as you are. She brings that expertise and empathy to everything we do. With Kelly’s guidance, you’ll get much more than a one-hour workout—you’ll strengthen your mind-body connection both in and out of the studio.
Avery Devoe
Collegiate athlete. Pilates powerhouse. Studio manager galore. When a challenge comes her way, Avery takes it head on every. single. time. Her athletic background, gift for leadership, and personal discipline make her the ultimate instructor who not only pushes you to new heights, but meets you with compassion and kindness along the way.
Grace Callahan
She is beauty. She is Grace. And she’s a licensed therapist who can attest to the power of the mind-body connection. Grace brings a calming a presence, a steady confidence, and mental health expertise to Core Connection Studio, so you can strengthen your inner self alongside your physical core. She’s practiced Pilates for years and loves blending her professional experience with her passion for movement.
