Our Team
Bri has been teaching Pilates since 2017 and is both classically and contemporarily trained. She first came to Pilates in 2007 through physical therapy and rehabilitation for an ankle injury. Her physiotherapist helped her (literally and figuratively) get back on her feet stronger than before.
With multiple certifications through Peak Pilates, Classical Progressions, Balanced Body, and Club Pilates, Bri has thousands of hours teaching, working with different bodies and walks of life. She brings a thoughtful, well-rounded approach to movement that prioritizes alignment, safety, and feeling good in your body. Bri is passionate about teaching and helping students move with more ease, strength, and confidence, while honoring the roots of the Pilates method.
What does she like most about Pilates? The fact that it trickles into the rest of your life! Want to lift heavier weights?—add Pilates to the mix and watch your numbers go up. Want to have less back pain?—learn what it means to stabilize around the Pilates powerhouse. Want to gain more mobility and flexibility in your body?—Pilates helps to strengthen WHILE lengthening, HOW COOL!
Bri is also the creator of The Alignment Blueprint, a Pilates teacher training program for those interested in becoming instructors and building a strong, sustainable foundation in Pilates.
Laura promises a good time, a good playlist, and creating a challenging yet supportive workout that keeps you coming back for those feel-good, energizing Pilates vibes!
While finishing her degree, Emma participated in a 200-hour internship with the Pilates Studio of Morgantown. She was instantly hooked and completed her first 500 hour comprehensive certification through Balanced Body in 2015. Her study of the Pilates system continued with a second 500 hour comprehensive certification through Peak Pilates in 2018. Soon after, she
studied pre & postnatal Pilates with Fusion Pilates in Asheville, NC. In 2023, she began a third comprehensive certification: classical Pilates progressions with Karen Frischmann. In addition to formal trainings, Emma regularly participates in continuing education workshops and private lessons.
Emma continues to practice, learn, teach, and specialize in Classical Pilates, a distinct style that aims to adhere as closely as possible to the exercises, sequences, and intentions of the system’s creator, Joseph Pilates. Her passion for the “classical” form of Pilates was forever cemented when, after suffering a debilitating back injury, she learned firsthand its restorative power. Joseph Pilates’ system of exercises allowed a safe, targeted, and methodical recovery.
Emma hopes to bring all of these benefits to her clients so that they become the strongest versions of themselves.

While she received an excellent foundation in classical Pilates, Rebecca enjoys adding in elements of contemporary Pilates. She believes any time spent working on one’s health is time well spent.
In her free time, Rebecca loves traveling with her husband, eating Mexican food and long walks through the aisles of Target. After living in Philadelphia for a few years, job opportunities have brought her family to Greenville and they could not be happier to be here!

Carrie Hoskins
Teaching Style: Contemporary
I began my Pilates journey 22 years ago. I thought I was attending a yoga class and accidentally stepped into my first Pilates experience. I had ACL reconstruction several years prior from a soccer injury and had extreme lower back pain due to gymnastics and cheerleading. I was limited in what exercises I could do. I was going to the chiropractor twice a week to relieve my back pain. Fortunately, I found that the Pilates class did not bother my knee or back, in fact it made me feel better! I added Pilates to my workout regiment of yoga and walking. I found that the more I did Pilates, the less my back hurt and the less I needed to go to the chiropractor. I began to feel longer, taller & stronger. I no longer had to lay in bed at night with tears from the lower back pain!
I grew up in Greenville and attended Presbyterian College. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I taught for several years and my husband, Chris, and I started our family and opened a business. I was raising my boys, Christopher Jr and Hollis and doing the bookkeeping for the business, but found that I missed teaching. The more I took Pilates, the more I realized and felt the purpose of it. From this passion, I wanted to use my teaching skills and pass on my knowledge and benefits of Pilates to others. I became certified through Balance Body and started teaching 15 years ago. I am certified in all of the modules, including Anatomy, Mat, Reformer, Cadillac/ Tower, Chair and Barrel. I love learning and exploring more and more about Pilates each year. It has so many amazing benefits such as: improves posture, strengthens your core, increases mobility & flexibility, decrease lower back pain, improves balance, bolsters bone density, manages stress, supports healthy weight, increases energy, increases muscle strength & tone and the list goes on!! I love working with individuals and helping them to achieve their personal fitness goals. I would love the opportunity to work with you!

Erin O'Neil
Teaching Style: Contemporary
Erin comes to CORE from Nashville, TN where her Pilates journey began. She started taking reformer pilates with a local Nashville studio in 2021 and fell in love with how it made her feel. As an active outdoor enthusiast she started to relate what she was learning about her body through Pilates to other avenues in her life. She started connecting core engagement to climbing technique and balanced sure-footedness to hiking. Erin encouraged her local community to try Pilates with the belief everyone can benefit from the method. This belief led her to completing a 500 hour comprehensive certification with Somos Pilates, a local studio in Nashville. In the midst of her training, Erin’s partner, Dan, accepted a job at Clemson University and the pair moved to Greenville. The past year has been spent splitting time between Greenville and Nashville to complete her training, observe local instructors and develop a community in her new home. Through this journey Erin found CORE where she looks forward to growing and developing as an instructor, student and community member. She firmly believes that Pilates can be for anybody, helping to teach you about your body and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Outside of the studio, Erin spends her time rock climbing, throwing pottery with her new friends, and exploring Greenville with Dan.

Paisley Eagan
Teaching Style: Classical
As a former Division I athlete and captain of the University of Florida Women's Lacrosse Team, I developed a deep appreciation for movement, performance, and the incredible capabilities of the human body. After my athletic career, I became a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and founded my own practice, where I specialize in helping women overcome chronic digestive and gut issues, mineral deficiencies, thyroid and hormone imbalances, and other barriers to optimal health. My own search for sustainable strength and recovery after athletics led me to Classical Pilates, and it was truly transformative. I fell in love with the method, my body felt stronger and more balanced, and I experienced firsthand the powerful connection between movement and overall wellness. Inspired by those results, I pursued Pilates instructor training so I could support others not only through nutrition, but through intentional movement as well. I am passionate about helping clients build strength, confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection to their bodies throughout their health journey. I am so excited to continue learning as I go into Level 2 of Peak Pilates!
