My mission is to guide individuals on a transformative journey through the exploration of Pilates and Liangong. I have a creative and holistic approach offering a unique space for individuals to connect with themselves. In group sessions, we foster a sense of community and selfcare, creating a space of tranquility amidst life’s complexities.
Originally from Austin, Texas, Arlette Moody has extensive training and experience in teaching movement. She studied dance at the University of Texas, where she also began her Pilates training. Once Arlette relocated to the Seattle area, she became a certified Pilates instructor through Mind and Body Inc. studying under Dana-Joel Belkholm. She has also attended workshops studying with greats like Romana Kryzanowska, and Elizabeth Larkam. In 2003, Arlette became the sole proprietor of Studio Bliss, a pilates based home studio. She has been teaching successfully and consistently ever since.
When the pandemic hit the area, Arlette wanted to deepen her connection of movement using Chinese principles and became a student of qigong. First she learned online with virtual workshops and videos, then she was recommended to work with Debbie Leung, founder of Chinese Healing and Movement Arts in Olympia. Arlette has been learning Liangong, which comes from Qigong forms from Debbie Leung since the fall of 2020. Her mission is to help people find a deeper connection to themselves and help instill practices of self care which can be practiced into our maturing years. Arlette is absolutely thrilled to be sharing the many benefits of Liangong and Pilates with her community.

“It has now been ten years that I have been a student of Arlette’s. She is a terrific teacher! She customizes my workouts to address specific areas of my body that are in need. What I love most about Arlette is that she makes sure that I am doing the exercises correctly for maximum result. She is also sensitive to my physical issues and alters the workout accordingly based on specific health issues. I like the way she accesses my needs, customizes my workout accordingly and truly cares about me."
