We are so happy to welcome Nyree Crawford to our Pilates teaching team. She completed her comprehensive training under the direction of Master Teacher Trainers Holly Holland and Teresa Willis.
Nyree brings a disciplined yet supportive approach to teaching. She believes Pilates is not just an exercise system but a way to learn how to move better and build a deeper connection with your body. Whether you're new to Pilates or looking to improve your practice, Nyree is committed to helping you build strength, confidence, and body awareness both in and out of the studio.
Nyree is an accountant and served six years in the Army National Guard and three years in the Air Force National Guard. She said she started taking Pilates lessons because someone told her “that I would get visible abs in 6 weeks. I did not get the visible abs, but it helped in so many other ways I didn't realize I needed – back, shoulders, chest, hips, glutes, and abs.” Nyree loves to travel and explore new restaurants and foods.

Holly's Pilates Village will be an official host of EYT Pilates Teacher Training for Spring 2027. EYT has been training Pilates teachers for 18 years, and the program is built around studios like ours. You train where you already practice, with a community that already knows you.
"We are so thrilled to be partnering with EYT as we continue to guide new teachers in the community," said Holly Holland, owner of Holly's Pilates Village. "EYT's focus on mentoring, not just training instructors, dovetails perfectly with our 10-year legacy of preparing highly skilled Pilates teachers."
The program is a great fit if you:
Love Pilates and want to understand it from the inside out
Have been thinking about teaching
Already teach another method and would like to add Pilates
Want a new career, or a meaningful path alongside the one you have
You don't need to have it all figured out. EYT is built so that people who show up and put in the practice become confident, capable teachers. Whether you've thought about teaching for years or just want to understand Pilates more deeply, this is your invitation to find out more. All local participants will also receive an apprenticeship and mentoring from certified teachers at Holly's Pilates Village.
Six online sessions will be held on Saturdays, led by an EYT Master Teacher, with hands-on practice in small groups. The seminars are spaced across the spring, and a weekly apprenticeship objective keeps you moving forward. You're never left to figure it out alone. $250 holds your seat at early bird pricing through December 31.
