FOUNDER / INSTRUCTOR

Meet Cassie, the founder of Sunny Space Studio! She fell in love with Pilates while living in Australia where she earned her Pilates certification through the Australian Institute of Physiotherapy and Pilates. She loves incorporating strength-focused principles into her classes and seeing members who have never lifted before build confidence with heavier springs and dumbbells. Her goal is to create a space where people feel strong, supported, and continually challenged in their movement.
