ABOUT LORENA

Lorena Egan-Alvarado (Co-Owner) began her love of Pilates while dancing professionally in NYC. A Juilliard graduate, Lorena danced and toured worldwide and helped create many roles for noted choreographers and dance companies. Pilates was a constant throughout her career. A hip injury put Pilates a bit more firmly in her path and that led her to receiving her certification in NYC. Lorena began teaching at Core Pilates Rye and there, under the mentorship of Tamara Slupchynskyj, she delved even deeper into the Pilates Method. Lorena is fully Certified in Pre and Post Natal Pilates, Pilates for Scoliosis, Pilates for Golf and Tennis. Her extensive dance career has given her a sharp eye for alignment and a commanding presence with her clients. In 2019, she joined forces with Tamara and opened Core Pilates Rowayton in Norwalk, CT and then later opened Westport, CT in 2024.
