Through guided, intentional movement, we help you build strength, alignment, and connection from the inside out.
About Pilates.
Pilates is a structured, progressive movement system designed to build strength, flexibility, control, and body awareness. At Lume, we believe movement should be both intentional and fun. Rooted in the original work of Joseph Pilates, we are committed to upholding the integrity of the classical method while thoughtfully adapting it to support modern bodies and individual needs. The Pilates system is guided by the principles of concentration, centering, control, precision, breath, and flow.
About Lume.
Established in 2026, Lume, derived from the Latin word for “light”, was created to bring clarity, energy, and light into everyday life. Our intention is simple: to help you move with purpose and build lasting change in how you feel, both inside and outside the studio. More than a workout, Classical Pilates is a lifelong practice. It develops balance, confidence, and embodied awareness. At Lume, our goal is to cultivate a community that lives with clarity and alignment – mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Our Team
-
Courtney is the founder of Lume Pilates and a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor. As a dedicated mover, her approach to teaching blends precision, breath, and mindful progression to help clients build strength, improve alignment, and move with confidence.
A native Vermonter, Courtney grew up surrounded by the mountains, where her first love was ski racing. Her passion for athletics eventually brought her to New Hampshire, where she competed as an NCAA skier for Plymouth State University.
After stepping away from competitive sports, Courtney found it challenging to discover a movement practice that truly supported her both physically and mentally, and one she could consistently return to. After some soul searching, she completed certifications in meditation, breathwork, and Reiki. While these practices deeply transformed her life, she still felt something was missing. That’s when she discovered Pilates.
Courtney instantly fell in love with the way Pilates seamlessly combined movement, mindfulness, and breath. She was drawn to how it challenged the body while creating a deeper sense of connection and alignment after every session.
Having experienced several injuries and being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at a young age, Courtney has personally relied on Pilates and intentional movement throughout her healing journey. These experiences shaped her passion for helping others feel empowered, strong, and more connected to themselves, both in and out of the studio. She loves working with clients from all walks of life and believes movement should feel supportive, sustainable, and transformative.
After years of teaching and managing studios, Courtney discovered the perfect space to bring her vision to life: an intimate, form-focused, and serene Pilates studio inspired by both classical movement and the natural beauty of the Lakes Region.
