The apprenticeship
I began as an apprentice at a STOTT PILATES® Licensed Training Center. I learned by doing: observing, practicing, assisting, teaching, and returning to the work until it became part of me.
Meet Alicia Faulkner
Movement has carried me through every chapter.
From apprentice to studio owner, from the Bahamas back home to Williamsport, and from teaching Pilates to navigating osteoporosis myself—this work has never been only about exercise.
My journey
Built through practice.
Deepened by experience.
STOTT PILATES certification
I became a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor and continued studying injuries and special populations, anatomy, postural analysis, stretching, yoga, barre, and mindful movement.
Pilates in Paradise
I became the owner of Pilates In Paradise at Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas. Those years shaped me as an instructor, business owner, mentor, and movement professional.
Revive & Align begins
Back in Williamsport, I created Revive & Align Pilates: a studio where people are known, instruction is personal, and movement is taught as a lifelong skill—not a performance.
When the work became personal
My diagnosis changed the direction—not the mission.
My own experience with early menopause and osteoporosis gave new urgency to the work I was already doing. I understood the fear, the confusing information, and the desire to keep living fully without treating the body as fragile.
That experience deepened my focus on bone health, posture, balance, functional strength, and safe progression. It also reinforced what I have always believed: movement should prepare you for life.
“I don’t want women to feel afraid of their bodies. I want them to understand them, strengthen them, and trust what they are capable of.”
What I believe
Good teaching sees the whole person.
Education creates confidence.
When you understand why you are moving, you can carry that knowledge beyond the studio.
Strength should support your life.
The goal is not an impressive exercise. It is greater capacity for the things that matter to you.
Progress can be personal.
You deserve challenge, care, and a pathway that respects where your body is today.
The next chapter
A stronger studio means more people equipped to serve.
Revive & Align is growing through Revive Strong, specialized bone-health services, STOTT PILATES professional education, and an apprenticeship pathway for future instructors.
My vision is not simply a larger business. It is a stronger one: excellent movement education, meaningful careers for instructors, and a studio that continues changing lives for years to come.
