At Connect Studio, we believe true strength begins from within. Our mission is to empower every individual to tap into their inner strength and experience meaningful growth (physically, mentally, and personally) through the mindful practices of Pilates and Yoga. We've built a space centered on community, connection, and support. Here, you'll find an inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds and experience levels come together to move, learn, and uplift one another. Whether you're seeking balance, strength, healing, or simply a place where you feel seen and supported, Connect Studio is designed to be that home for you. Together, we create a community that inspires. A place where you can show up exactly as you are and leave feeling stronger, lighter, and more connected than before.


Kay Luna, the team's operating partner and lead instructor, first discovered pilates a few years ago and immediately fell in love. What began as a personal wellness practice quickly evolved into a passion, leading her to earn her pilates certification and began teaching. Kay believes that pilates supports both physical and mental well-being, offering healing from the inside out. She always envisioned creating a studio that feels like home with a strong, uplifting community where people feel safe, supported, and excited to return.

Kristie Magalong, the team's marketing partner, has 16 years behind the chair as a hair stylist and a natural talent for connecting with people. She oversees the studio's branding and social media presence to help create their vision and sense of community. A lover of fitness and yoga, Kristie wanted to build a space where busy people can pause, breathe, and truly connect their mind and body. Outside the studio, she's a proud mom of two and stays busy with mom life, her kids' activities, and running her other business, Kris Mags Hair in Frisco.

Alexis Alvarade, the team's financial partner, brings an engineering background and a passion for creating welcoming, well-organized spaces. At the studio, Alexis' primary focus is building an environment where everyone feels connected, safe, and supported from the moment they arrive. She believes in self-growth and is dedicated to making wellness accessible to all, offering a sancuary for personal development. Outside the studio, Alexis enjoys arts and crafts, along with exploring the creative possibilities of 3D printing.
