Meet the Instructors



Allison Walacavage
came to Equilibrium as a former modern dancer who used Pilates as a way to develop core strength and correct muscle imbalances. After receiving her BA from Mount Holyoke College, Allison pursued STOTT PILATES training to deepen her understanding of the exercises and anatomy. She enjoys working with clients of all abilities, particularly those who are new to mind-body movement systems. She received her STOTT PILATES Level 1 certification in November 2008 and is currently working towards Level 2. Allison is currently also pursuing certification in GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® excercise systems. In addition to teaching, Allison works as a grant writer for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and enjoys dancing and aerial arts.
