Hi I’m Alex! I took my first ever Pilates class in 2023 and instantly fell in love. Before Pilates, I tried and tried getting a routine down at the gym, but it wasn’t what I looking for. Pilates was a game changer for me, from meeting new people, getting cute workout sets, and seeing physical and mental progress. I decided to take a chance on myself and get certified in Pilates. After getting certified, I continued taking classes and eventually saw Pilates Por Favor was hiring and knew this was the perfect opportunity. I want to grow as an individual and Pilates Porfavor was the perfect place to start. Hope to see you on the mat! 

I’m Maria Alejandra Cabarcas— I’m Venezuelan Pilates instructor, massage therapist with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. My passion for Pilates started 4 years ago after a personal journey of growth, where I acquired a better body-mind relationship. After obtaining my license as an MT, I treated a variety of clients that sparked my interest in learning in depth body mechanics and how to help improve my performance and care of my body, as well as how I could offer this to my clients as a holistic experience that combines strength, flexibility and balance. My training as a Pilates instructor gives rise to a deep love for seeing significant results in my body. It is important for me to listen to the body and individual needs of each person in the class, which is why I felt identified with the mission of Pilates Porfavor to offer classes that support progress at all levels. I focus on creating a safe environment that inspires others to take care of themselves in community, achieving personal goals. I invite you to treat yourself to the benefits that Pilates offers as a healthy and balanced lifestyle because friends don’t let friendsthat we’re going to build. Kristy (our fearless leader) envisioned a space for everyone to not only enjoy pilates, but also feel welcomed and included, and I am honored to be part of the team and carry out the vision.
