I’ve been in the fitness space since 2015, but movement has been part of my life forever, as a former competitive gymnast and coach. I created The Aligned Body after dealing with chronic health issues and stepping away from the fitness world for a while to make fitness more accessible, supportive, and sustainable for everyone, especially beginners and those with hypermobile bodies. Movement should meet you where you are, not the other way around. I’m especially passionate about bridging the gap between Pilates and strength training, with a focus on stability, alignment, and feeling at home in your body again!

Pilates Instructor

Cydnee has been passionate about fitness for as long as she can remember. Movement has always been more than exercise for her; it’s been an outlet and a way to reconnect with herself.

Over the years, she has learned that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. She believes in finding movement that works with the body, not against it, creating a more supportive and sustainable way to build strength.

Her goal is to inspire others to discover what feels good for them, helping them build strength in a way that feels aligned, empowering, and uniquely their own.

Our Approach

At The Aligned Body, fitness isn’t about chasing unrealistic ideals or pushing through pain. Our approach is rooted in science, mindful movement, and long-term results that help women build strength, improve alignment, and feel confident in their bodies.

Unlike traditional gyms or cookie-cutter programs, we focus on:

  • Alignment First: Every movement prioritizes your body’s individual needs and joint health, so you move safely and prevent injury.

  • Functional Strength: We combine Pilates-inspired methods and movements with strength training to support your daily life and long-term mobility.

  • Personalized Adaptations: Whether you’re new to fitness, returning after an injury, or living with hypermobility, we are able to tailor the exercises and provide modifications to your body’s unique needs.

  • Sustainable, Lifestyle-Based Training: We don’t rely on extreme routines or quick fixes ,we teach strategies and habits that fit into your real life.

  • Confidence & Mindset: Strength isn’t just physical. We help you reconnect with your body, build trust in your body through movement, and feel empowered in every session.

Our method is different because we focus on quality over quantity, safety over intensity, and alignment over aesthetics. Every program, whether it’s in-person, online, or outdoors, is designed to make your body feel strong, supported, and capable no matter where you are at in your fitness journey.

The Aligned Body isn’t just a workout. It’s strength that supports you, and movement that aligns you.
