Denise Holmes

Certified Instructor

Denise Holmes is a certified Pilates instructor at LightSpace Pilates & Wellness, where she teaches a mindful approach to movement inspired by the studio’s blend of Pilates and Qigong. She began practicing Pilates in 2021 while recovering from hip pain caused by long hours at her drawing table. The practice not only eased her discomfort but renewed her strength, alignment, and connection to her body.

At LightSpace, Denise combines restorative movement with breath and body awareness to help clients feel more balanced and at ease in their everyday lives. She believes movement is both a physical and creative practice, one that helps people feel more at home in their bodies.

Outside the studio, Denise is a children’s book illustrator who brings that same thoughtfulness and care to her teaching, creating space for each person to explore movement in their own way.
