It was here that Alicia met Lawson Harris, her mentor, who introduced her to Contemporary Pilates. Alicia partnered up with Jessica Hope Restrepo to open TONE Pilates and Wellness in 2012. After teaching around NYC she wanted to create a warm, safe and invigorating environment to inspire. Alicia takes pride in her motive to impart some of the same enthusiasm and empowerment she has found through Pilates to all of her clients.
