Sheryl Aquiler
Sheryl is originally from San Diego, California. Her passion for movement started at a young age as a competitive dancer and cheerleader. After attending California State University, Long Beach, she moved to New York City where she was first introduced to Pilates by a friend that needed a student to practice on for her certification. This led Sheryl on a Pilates journey of her own that has spanned over 10 years of Mat & Apparatus certifications, private and group instruction, and managing studios from San Diego to New York City. She is currently living bicoastal, spending the summer months working in Nantucket and the rest of the year in San Diego.
Sheryl brings her fun, positive energy and a welcoming attitude to all her sessions but it’s her focus on form, technique, and execution that make for a challenging and efficient workout with the ultimate goal of long-term health and wellness.

Iris Noack
Iris has been teaching pilates and movement full-time for over 7 years, and is fully certified in all levels through Stott Pilates.
As a life long skier and soccer player, now wintering in Puerto Rico, Iris began a quest to heal very hurt knees and learn to surf.
She has spent the last two years teaching mostly private clients, exploring tendon and joint bulletproofing. This balancing of the body through exercise is a concept popularized by Knees Over Toes Guy, Ben Patrick, and inspired by strength coaches, like Charles Poliquin. When not teaching, she can be found reading, cooking, chasing waterfalls or waves, and lounging for sunset on the beach.

As an integrated movement specialist, she is also a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, Thai massage therapist, and Somatic healing coach.
