Malina Murphy
My first experience with Pilates was in college in CA. Growing up as a ballerina, I was immediately attracted to the energetic flow that Pilates has and it's relation to dance. I graduated in 2020 as a Physical Therapist Assistant from San Diego Mesa College. Over the last 22 years my work experience has spanned from an Inpatient trauma center, skilled nursing, and Outpatient Orthopedics. My specialty's in Outpatient orthopedics includes rehabilitating neurologic patients, post Breast Cancer , and total joint replacement patients. My journey from San Diego to Austin has allowed me to further my interests and pursue a certification from Polestar Pilates. I am a lifelong student and my patient's and client's teach me something new with each interaction. My desire is to help people of all kinds to move in a way that feels safe and also challenges the mind and body. In my spare time I love walking/biking the beautiful Austin trails with my husband. I also love eating my way through Texas and spending time with my 2 cats, Chaucer and Seuss.

Layla Stone, LMT
After nearly 10 years as a private massage therapist, Layla found herself in search of a deeper understanding as to why faulty movement patterns could lead her clients to ongoing pain and/or movement restrictions. Alongside her passion for rehabilitation through soft tissue work and movement, her curiosity for Pilates grew as she started to notice more and more that her clients who practiced Pilates were able to reshape their bodies, in several instances completely removing chronic pain from their lives. While she finds a deep satisfaction in helping clients leave the studio feeling taller and invigorated, Layla continues to explore the connection between movement, emotion and expression within the human body.
Layla is originally from New Zealand where she completed her Comprehensive Pilates training with Polestar New Zealand from the idyllic setting of Hawkes Bay. She recently relocated to Austin with her husband and two children and enjoys the many outdoor activities Austin has to offer

As a 5th grade math and science teacher, another passion of mine lies with educating others in addition to improving my own physical fitness.
