The feature

The woman in the room

Thousands of teachers certified. Charts read. Bots built. And she's still in class every morning.

Laurie Alfano landed in Florida after 9/11 with a new baby and a Pilates certification. A few years later she wasn't just teaching the work. She was writing it.

Ten years as a Director of Education. Thousands of instructors certified. Then she walked away and built her own method, NOGA Movement, where class ends with Cosmic Weather instead of savasana. In 2020 it went live online and never looked back.

“If I tell you to hold something for thirty seconds, I'm holding it too.”Laurie Alfano

These days her schedule holds two to three live classes a day, seven days a week, plus readings that weave astrology, Human Design and numerology together. Pilates+ carries her method to teachers around the world, and the AI she builds runs businesses while their owners sleep. Other studios bring her in to build their teacher education from the ground up. Right now she's Education Lead for Pilates & Or, building its foundation training in the Or Kahlon Method.

One rule runs all of it: follow your heart, not money.

I had a great experience completing my Pilates+ Mat Certification. Laurie was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend NOGA Movement to anyone looking to become Pilates certified!
Vanessa M.Pilates+ graduate · Google
Without Laurie Alfano I could possibly have just given up. She was committed to our success. I would have paid that price and given that time over again to work with Laurie for any method of movement.
