Our Team

Chrissy has been a registered nurse for over 30 years and found her love for yoga and Pilates at APY in 2021. What began as a way to bring balance and peace into her own life soon grew into a passion for sharing that same healing energy with others. She became RYT-200 Yoga Alliance certified in 2024 and completed her Pilates certification with Cindy in 2026. At Albemarle Pilates and Yoga, Chrissy teaches from the heart, sharing joy, mindfulness, and connection through her practice.

Sydnee is a full-time dental assistant, dog mom, bookworm, and barre lover who has been hooked on barre, yoga, and pilates since early 2025. Sydnee loves how this practice has improved her confidence, strength, and posture, hence getting her certification to teach others in the community the same passion. Her goal is to help people move their bodies, feel strong, and leave class feeling more confident than when they arrived.

Hailey is a pediatric occupational therapist and Reformer Pilates instructor with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. After years of strength training with a little yoga mixed in, she discovered Pilates in early 2025 and instantly fell in love with its focus on functional movement and mindful strength. Pilates became the perfect blend of her educational background, clinical experience, and passion for movement. In her classes, Hailey creates a welcoming, encouraging space where clients can build strength, confidence, and move with intention.

Melia is a North Carolina native who has recently moved back home to Albemarle. She has been teaching yoga since 2015 and enjoys bringing peace and nervous system regulation to others through yoga.

Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or the hundredth, Melia's classes offer a welcoming space to slow down, breathe, and connect. When she is not teaching, you can usually find her outside gardening or at the beach soaking up the sunshine.
