ABOUT US

Our Story

​

Selah Pilates & Wellness was born from a desire to create something more than just another fitness studio. Founder Leah Rodgers, a lifelong mover and educator, initially began her Pilates journey through Club Pilates’ 500-hour Comprehensive Teacher Training. However, when the pandemic cut her apprentice hours short, she found herself at a crossroads. Rather than giving up, she saw it as an opportunity to dive deeper into the professional world of Pilates.

​

This led her to pursue Stott Pilates certification, specializing in sports medicine-based Pilates and injury prevention, and to further her education with REAL PILATES with Alycea Ungaro, a 600-hour Classical Pilates teacher training program rooted in the legacy teachings of Joseph Pilates & Romana Kryzanowska. These experiences solidified her passion for both contemporary and classical Pilates, deepening her understanding of movement and rehabilitation.

​

Leah’s personal journey also shaped Selah’s mission. Following the sudden passing of her mother, she sought a fitness approach that wasn’t just about aesthetics but about building strength, stability, and longevity. Selah was founded to provide a space where movement is more than exercise—it’s a tool for lifelong wellness. Here, clients don’t just work out; they learn, grow, and move in ways that support them for life.
