We opened this week in Ivanhoe Village!
At Solace Pilates and Yoga, our classes are distinct. We offer form-driven Pilates (core strength, posture, alignment) and breath-centered yoga (mobility, recovery, calm). We cap class sizes for personal guidance and consistent progress—from first-timers to seasoned movers.
We want Solace to be your second home, you’ll find more than a schedule: a homework nook for studying, relaxed movie nights, and a friendly place to meet people who share your wellness goals—right here in Ivanhoe Village.
Welcome to Solace
Hi, my name is Isabella. Over the past few years, I’ve watched the Pilates scene in my hometown of Orlando grow quickly. While that growth has brought more awareness to Pilates, it has also made many studios feel more commercial and less personal.
Along with Alessia, Joelle, Leia, and Vitoria, I want to help you push your body to its limits, and foster a bond in our studio that grows your sense of connection and belonging. Our goal is for every class to feel challenging, supportive, and grounded in real community.
Solace is your home. You'll build strength, make lifelong friends, and feel supported, both during class and beyond it.
If you have any questions, want to learn more, just let me know! I will personally give you a tour of our space. You can reach me directly at 689-312-6290.
Alessia
Hi! My name is Alessia Leahy, and I teach Mat Pilates at Solace.
I was born and raised in Italy and moved to the United States in 2021 after graduating at law school.
Right after that I knew my life wasn’t gonna be in Italy, deep down I always knew the traditional 9–5 path wasn’t for me so I jumped on a one way plane to FL! My passion was calling me somewhere else toward movement, performance, and a life fueled by energy and freedom.
I’m a Personal trainer, group fitness coach, and Reformer & Mat Pilates instructor, I love to keep learning as much as I can about fitness and my classes are designed to make you feel strong, challenged, and confident in your body. Expect smart programming, high energy, and a supportive environment where you’re encouraged to push past what you thought you were capable of.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll most likely find me running, training for HYROX or racing somewhere around the world. In my free time, I love creating content for my social media accounts, capturing movement through photos and videos, and spending quality time with my two puppies, Pancake and Teddy.
Joelle
Hi, I’m Joelle! I’m teaching Reformer Pilates at Solace!
I’m a certified health coach, holistic health practitioner, and Pilates instructor with over 20 years of experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Florida State University and blend my professional expertise with a deep passion for mindfulness and fitness.
As a mom of four, I specialize in helping families find balance through personalized nutrition, Reiki, and movement. I love teaching because I’m driven to empower others to heal through informed choices and uncover their full potential. My mission is to create a nurturing environment where clients can achieve vibrant health and live a more balanced, revitalized life.
Leia
My name is Leia Collado! I teach Mat Pilates, Yoga and Sculpt at Solace.
I’m Latina, born and raised in the Dominican Republic, and moved to Fort Lauderdale at a young age before heading to Orlando for college. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from UCF in 2023, and right after graduating, I jumped into the yacht and sailboat industry. After a year of the yacht life, I realized my heart was pulling me in a different direction, toward fitness!
My love for movement started early. I remember going to yoga classes with my mom in middle school and thinking the instructors were the coolest people on earth. That feeling stuck with me, and years later, I finally decided to turn that inspiration into a career.
My classes are all about community, energy, and pushing past what you thought your limits were, while still having fun along the way.
I pride myself on being your friend both on and off the mat. Expect to sweat, feel empowered, and leave class stronger in every way.
Vitoria
Hi! My name is Vitoria! I specialize in Reformer Pilates.
I was born in Brazil and moved to Florida in seventh grade. I’ve always been active and involved in sports, but I found Pilates through my own rehabilitation journey. After tearing my labrum, I needed surgery to restore stability in my shoulder. During recovery, Pilates reshaped how I think about movement and long-term health.
In my classes, I focus on supportive movement that helps clients build strength they can actually use in daily life. I prioritize alignment, controlled strength, and mobility, while creating sessions that are both challenging and accessible. My goal is for clients to leave class feeling stronger, more capable, and more confident in both their bodies and minds.

FAQs
Is Pilates beginner-friendly?
Yes :) Every class includes options for first-timers. Instructors demonstrate each movement and offer modifications.
Mat or Reformer—where should I start?
You can’t go wrong. If you want extra guidance and support, start with Reformer Foundations. Prefer bodyweight work? Try Mat Foundations. We’ll help you choose.
Will it help with back or joint pain?
Pilates is low-impact and designed to strengthen the core and improve alignment. Tell your instructor about any history; we’ll modify as needed. Always follow your clinician’s guidance.
I’m pregnant or postpartum—can I attend?
Yes, with medical clearance. We provide trimester-appropriate and postpartum options. Please arrive a few minutes early to discuss modifications.
Will Pilates complement my running/lifting?
Pilates strengthens deep core support, hip/ankle mobility, and posture, so you transfer force better and move with less strain.
Our lifters can expect steadier bar path, easier bracing, better squat/deadlift depth, and less low-back fatigue. Runners see smoother cadence, longer efficient stride, lower effort at the same pace, and fewer nagging aches.
