Why Pilates
Pilates combines physical precision with focused breathing to improve posture, coordination, flexibility and overall well-being.
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”— Joseph Pilates
Meet the instructors
Personalized instruction from experienced teachers who care about helping every student move with confidence.

Owner & Pilates Instructor
Reniera opened Trillium Pilates to share her love of fitness and passion for coaching. After twenty years coaching across multiple sports and levels, she earned her Pilates certification through the Pilates Academy of Strength and Transformation (PAST).
Her teaching centers on the Pilates principles of control, connection, and clarity—an approach that helps each student build strength, confidence, and a practice that feels genuinely their own.
Before opening the studio, Reniera volunteered with organizations dedicated to sport, inclusion, and education. Those experiences reinforced her belief that movement should be welcoming, accessible, and empowering for everyone.
When she’s not teaching, you’ll likely find her traveling, hiking, paddleboarding, rock climbing, or spending time outdoors with her family and dog.
Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, Reniera is passionate about helping you feel stronger, healthier, and more connected in every stage of your fitness journey.

Pilates Instructor
Leah Parkhurst is a certified Peak Pilates instructor, Level III Reiki practitioner, and multidisciplinary artist with over 13 years of experience teaching movement. Her fitness journey began in Spin, group fitness, and Kripalu yoga, eventually leading her to Pilates during recovery from an injury—where she discovered a deeper connection to the body’s mechanics, rhythm, and resilience.
As both a classically trained Pilates instructor and a surface designer with a background in fine craft and art history, Leah creates work that bridges movement and material. Every piece—from fine art prints to wearables and housewares—begins with the body: its lines, its presence, its lived story. She pairs proven movement principles with a craftsperson’s perspective, helping clients build functional strength, mobility, and confidence while transforming gestures into intentional, heirloom-quality objects.
Whether guiding clients through personalized movement practices or creating hand-crafted, small-run pieces, Leah brings the same ethos to everything she makes: thoughtful design, uncompromising craft, and a commitment to work that endures.

Pilates Instructor
Rachael came to Pilates after several years of teaching mindfulness and yoga, and found comfort in what Classical Pilates brought. Rachael loves encouraging movement for all bodies, whether it's on the mat, the reformer, running or simply doing breathwork. When Rachael is not teaching, she spends her time as a mental health therapist, running through Portland and cooking up some yummy meals.
Pilates instruction
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, focusing on strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness. It combines controlled movements, precise breathing techniques, and a strong emphasis on alignment and posture.
Suitable for all fitness levels, Pilates can be performed on a mat or using specialized equipment like the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair. The exercises aim to create a balanced, strong, and flexible body while promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Whether used for general fitness, injury rehabilitation, or athletic conditioning, Pilates offers a holistic approach to physical and mental well-being.
