Laura Meitzen | BASI Certified Instructor|BASI Faculty| Studio Owner
Laura was raised in Spring, Texas, where grew up dancing ballet at the American Academy of Dance in Houston. Throughout her training, she was able to travel around the nation, attending various prestigious workshops, competitions, schools and even dance professionally with the Bruce Wood Dance Company in Ft. Worth. After 20 years of dance, ballet started taking a toll on her body, and she made the tough decision to stop. Having done Pilates throughout her years of dancing, she turned back to it immediately. Laura found a new love for the practice and soon realized that this was how she could keep a mind-body awareness, movement, help others, and make a living!
Laura discovered the Body Arts Science International (BASI) certification program in 2010 and is certified on all equipment and mat. Along with her certification she has taken many other workshops including Pilates for the athlete, de-conditioned, the mature client, dancers, Pilates for men and injuries and pathologies. In 2020, Laura became a faculty member of the prestigious BASI Pilates method, where she teaches the certification course at the studio as well as traveling around the nation.
She loves working with a wide variety of clientele, from the high level professional to the aging client who is staying fit and active. Her passion is to share her knowledge with others so they can understand their bodies and become empowered through movement!

After moving to The Woodlands in 2015, Emma decided to turn her passion for health and wellness into a career, and in 2016 she enrolled in the BASI certification program at Breathe.

Katie Cook | BASI Certified Instructor
Katie Cook holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, receiving honors for the Senior Modern Performance Award, Promising Artist Award, and the Elizabeth Ann Pulaski Memorial Scholarship. Katie found her love of pilates by way of dance. She briefly studied it in college and found its importance to her well-being when she suffered a back injury while performing. Pilates helped rehab the injury, giving her a stronger foundation to continue her talents. Katie recently relocated to the area from the east coast, where she worked professionally as a dancer/teacher/choreographer for the last 15 years after receiving her degree.
Katie has a deep kinesthetic understanding of the body and how it moves because of her dance background. She feels Pilates allows individuals of all fitness levels to work from the inside out and strives for clients to feel connected to their bodies, both physically and mentally. After having her second child this past year, she wanted to further her knowledge of Pilates. She enrolled in the BASI Certified Teacher Program at Breathe and is excited to now be part of the team as a fully certified teacher.
Katya was born and raised in Russia and moved to the US in 2013. She is a lively and energetic person with a lifelong passion for movement. From her early days in Russia, Katya's spirit thrived on the dance floor, yoga mat, and in fitness studios, where she found joy in the rhythm of motion. Despite her love for movement, Katya pursued a degree in finance and carved out a successful career in commercial banks.
Katya's life took a transformative turn when she moved to America with her husband and three children, embracing the role of a devoted full-time mother. Yet, her boundless energy and love for movement never waned. It was during this time that Katya discovered Pilates, and it was a revelation.
Katya found her passion in the strength and mindfulness of Pilates and her goal as an instructor is to ignite this passion in her clients. She loves to be a witness of the significant changes Pilates brings to her clients bodies and lives.

Liz Hamlin | Power Pilates Certified Instructor
Liz was born and raised in Southern California. She has been an athlete and has always been passionate about fitness and health. She played various sports, starting at age 5, and continued throughout high school, focusing on volleyball, soccer, and softball. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies at UC Santa Barbara and worked in the film industry following graduation. It was not long, however, before she realized this was not the right career path for her. She became a Certified Personal Trainer through International Sports Sciences Association but then quickly discovered Pilates and knew, without a doubt, this was the path she wanted to pursue.
Liz completed the comprehensive Pilates certification through Power Pilates in 2010. She takes regular sessions with other teachers and attends continuing education workshops frequently, always wanting to continue growing as a teacher and practitioner. Pilates has enhanced Liz’s performance as an athlete, significantly increasing her core strength and improving her posture. It is because of Pilates that Liz can say that, after having a C-section in 2016, she feels stronger and more connected to her core today than she did pre-pregnancy. She loves sharing the gift of Pilates with her clients, regardless of their fitness level, and seeing the positive changes manifest in their lives. Liz is also a certified TRX (suspension training) instructor and has found this exercise method to greatly compliment her Pilates practice.
Raised in The Woodlands, Texas, Ashley has always been drawn to a lifestyle that supports both wellness and balance. Her passion for Pilates began when she was introduced to the method’s unique ability to strengthen the body while calming the mind. She earned her comprehensive certification through Pilates International Academy in 2012 and is trained on all equipment and mat.
Ashley is passionate about making Pilates approachable, uplifting, and deeply effective for every body. She enjoys working with a wide range of clients—from beginners to seasoned practitioners—and has a heart for creating a space where people feel both supported and empowered. Her goal is to help clients tap into their own strength, move with more confidence, and walk away from each session feeling better than when they arrived. What Ashley loves most about Pilates is that feeling you get during a good session—when everything connects—that carries with you throughout the day.
Outside of the studio, Ashley loves being outdoors, going on long walks with her husband and their dogs, and soaking in the simple pleasures of everyday life. She approaches her work with the belief that movement is a form of self-care, and that consistency, compassion, and a little laughter can go a long way in creating meaningful, lasting results.
