Cate Morales (owner)
a native of the Washington D.C. area,
moved to Tucson in 1998 to attend the
University of Arizona. While completing
her undergrad in business she was
introduced to Pilates by a friend who
needed someone to practice on while
training to become an instructor. Cate
immediately noticed, among many
changes, a difference in the shape of
her body as well as a new strength in
her weak and often sore low back from
muscle imbalance. She was introduced
to Suzy Rosin, the original Ariella, and
under her wing Cate began the Pilates
certification program through Romana’s
Pilates.

During the last year of college she was able to commute to New
York and L.A. to complete her 600+ apprentice hours. She was
certified in May 2004 and opened Ariella, a pilates studio soon
after. She continues her education today by working with master
teacher trainers around the country. She is incredibly proud of the
studio she has built and grown. Cate makes sure that she and her
teachers adhere to the same belief, that teaching Pilates only after
ascertaining certification through very comprehensive study is what
makes the studio so successful. The friendly, interesting and
dedicated people that she gets to work with day in and day out
makes all the hard work she has put in worth it. To have trained
with the best teachers in the world, to have gained so much
knowledge and to be able share it with others so that they make
positive, sustainable changes to their lives is why she does what
she does.

Lori Jernigan
Lori Jernigan grew up on a farm in
Kansas. She has a B.A. in Public
Relations from Kansas State
University. Fitness has always been
an interest and after the birth of her
first child she taught aerobic classes.
It was after the birth of her second
child that she found Pilates. She
started taking a mat class at a local
gym and soon wanted to know more
about the method. Her search
brought her to Romana’s Pilates. She
did her apprenctice hours here in
Tucson with Cheryl Miller and at True Pilates NY under Sari Mejia
Santo, Romana’s daughter and Dari Pace, Romana’s
granddaughter. In June of 2006 she earned her level 5
certification. Upon completing her certification, she began working
at Ariella, a pilates studio in the mornings when she is off of mom
duty. She says teaching Pilates is the easy part of her day.

Alma Moodie
Alma Moodie has been in the health and fitness field since 1982.
As an AFAA- and ACE- certified instructor, she has taught
aerobics, water aerobics, and been a Personal Trainer in the U.S.
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1995, she began her Pilates
apprenticeship in Seattle, working with Dorothee Van der Walle at
Robert Leonard Pilates Studio and Capitol Hill Pilates Studio (now
Metropolitan Pilates). She was certified in 1996 by Romana
Kryzanowska. After experiencing first-hand the profound
difference of a purely Pilates exercise program, as well as
observing the changes in those she's worked with, she chose to
continue in the health and fitness field working solely with Pilates.
A teacher at heart from the beginning, Alma has also been a
school teacher, both in traditional (public and private) and
Montessori environments. She enjoys the dynamics of teaching
and learning that occur in both the classroom and the studio.
