A resident of Durango of more than 20 years and an avid competitive athlete, Lyra experienced several sports-related injuries at an early age. From these challenges she recognized the importance of incorporating core strength and stability as integrated components to her recovery process. This introduced her to Pilates in the early 1990's, and the results she's achieved has inspired her dedication to the Pilates discipline ever since.

Despite numerous surgeries and the birth of three children, Lyra has been able to optimize her rehabilitation and maintain a high level of athletic performance through the practice of Pilates. Her success also led to the pursuit of her degree and her training and certification in Pilates instruction. 

Lyra's personal experience gives her a great sense of empathy and a unique perspective to the powerful benefits of Pilates in optimizing performance and overcoming injury.  Having witnessed the benefits personally as well as with her clients over her years of teaching, her passion was fueled to open Peel Pilates in 2009.
