Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Imani.

I created Estrella Collective from a love of movement, wellness, and creating spaces where people feel connected and inspired. As your Mat Pilates certified instructor, I bring a calm and encouraging energy to every session.

I want Pilates and the concept of wellness to feel approachable, empowering, and something you look forward to returning to. My goal is for each class to leave you feeling stronger, lighter, and more connected to yourself.
