Guest Spotlight: Meet Stacey

Stacey Siekman-Hall has been a Guest at TerraLuna since September, 2024 and we'd like to get to know her a bit better.

What brought you to Pilates and how long you've been practicing?

A friend who lives in another city suggested I find a Studio near me and give it a try. I had never done any type of group fitness before, so I was hesitant but also curious. I did a quick Google search for “Pilates near me,” and found TerraLuna.

I signed up for the free trial class, but honestly, I almost backed out the day of the class. I am so grateful that before I cancelled, I called the Studio and spoke with Lynelle. She intuitively knew that my hesitation was only about my own insecurity and she knew just what to say.  She was so very understanding. Lynelle answered all my questions honestly and gave me a clear picture of the Studio’s all are welcome vibe.  The conversation was very reassuring. That was a little less than a year ago and I have been going weekly since. 

Do you have a goal you'd like to share that Pilates helped you/is helping you obtain?

Working on maintain/building core strength, stability, and flexibility

What class(es) have you/do you take? Do you have a favorite class?

I typically take three classes a week: StretchLates, Reformer, and love me some Feisty Friday.

What is an activity which was difficult for you in the beginning but is now easier?

I feel overall stronger, but I am probably most excited about my improved balance.

Tell us about props! Favorite and least favorite.

My favorite prop is the Magic Ring.  Because, well… because it’s magic! I like the challenge it adds to certain movements.  My least favorite prop? I’ll stick to the rule that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all :-)

If you had a "Signature Activity" what would it be?

There is this side slide leg swoopy thing we do sometimes that really works the inner/outer thigh.

How do you define "wellness"?

For me, it’s about my life in balance - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, professional/personal life in balance.

Would you share a little-known fact about yourself?

I can whistle annoyingly loud.

Finally, what is one food/drink you cannot live without?

Pizza!!

Thank you Stacey, for sharing a bit about yourself and your Pilates journey!
