The woman behind magma

“Hi, I'm Riley, the founder and lead instructor at Magma, where we specialize in Hot Mat Pilates—a dynamic, sweat-inducing fusion of classical Pilates principles and the transformative power of heat.

With a background in gymnastics and dance, I learned the value of body awareness, strength, and discipline from a young age. That foundation naturally led me to Pilates, where I discovered a powerful method of movement that not only strengthens the body but restores balance and connection from the inside out.

I’ve been teaching Pilates for over seven years and hold a 750+-hour comprehensive certification, with advanced training across mat, reformer, and classical apparatus. I am also a Master Trainer for a comprehensive Pilates certification program through the NPCP, mentoring and educating the next generation of instructors while upholding the highest standards of the method.

Over the years, I’ve combined my love of high-energy training with a deep respect for alignment and form. At Magma, I bring this unique blend to every class—creating workouts that are challenging, precise, and purpose-driven, all enhanced by the detoxifying benefits of heat.

My goal was to create a space where discipline meets flow, challenge meets support, and every client—no matter their level—feels empowered. Whether you're new to Pilates or a longtime practitioner, I’m here to help you unlock your potential and fall in love with movement all over again.”
