MEET THE MUSE BABES

Shayla Ramos

Founder & Certified Pilates Instructor

Shayla discovered Pilates in 2017 while living in Laredo, Texas. After moving back to the Rio Grande Valley, she began practicing more consistently in 2021 and quickly fell in love with the way Pilates transformed not only her body, but her mindset and confidence.

Following two back-to-back pregnancies and years of feeling unfulfilled in a traditional 9-to-5, Shayla knew she wanted to create something more meaningful, a space where women of all backgrounds could feel seen, welcomed, supported, and empowered. That vision became Muse Hot Pilates.

Kori Closner

Flow Instructor · Prenatal & Postnatal Certified

Kori got into Pilates out of pure curiosity and quickly fell in love with the movement and the way it transformed her body and mindset. She began teaching in March 2025, offering free classes while building her clientele, then paused in July 2025 during her pregnancy, and proudly restarted in March 2026 with an even deeper passion for movement and wellness.

She believes in the power of slow, controlled movement, which is why she became a Flow instructor. Her classes are modern mat Pilates designed to strengthen your deep core, improve flexibility, enhance balance, and leave you feeling stronger both mentally and physically.

Amanda Segura

Certified Pilates Instructor & Nurse

With a lifelong passion for health, fitness, and movement, Amanda found Pilates as the perfect balance between strength, wellness, and mindful movement. As a nurse and nursing student, she brings a deeper understanding of the body into her teaching, focusing on alignment, control, endurance, and sustainable movement patterns.

One of Amanda's favorite parts of teaching is watching clients gain confidence both inside and outside of the studio. Outside of nursing and Pilates, she enjoys staying active, spending time with loved ones, a good martini, and making the most out of life's little moments.

Alizae Nicole Ramos

Certified Pilates Instructor

Alizae has been a personal trainer for over a year and recently was given the opportunity to practice and learn alongside the women at Muse to perfect her technique. She started off wanting something new to add to her strength training and fell in love with every aspect of being a sculpt instructor.

As a stay-at-home mom, it hasn't always been easy to prioritize herself, but at Muse, for that one hour, she's able to shut her brain off, move her body, and teach a group of people striving for greatness.
