about
Natalie
I believe the future of Pilates and yoga depends on educators who are committed to lifelong learning, technical excellence, and authentic connection. My mission is to develop instructors who don't simply teach movement—they transform lives through it.
Natalie Perez-Hayden is a Pilates educator, yoga teacher trainer, wellness entrepreneur, and founder of Body Haus Lifestyle Club. With more than a decade of experience teaching movement and developing instructors, she has become one of the leading voices in Pilates and yoga education along Michigan's Lakeshore.
Natalie holds a Comprehensive Pilates Equipment Certification through Balanced Body and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with advanced experience in Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative Yoga. Throughout her career, she has trained and mentored instructors, led teacher trainings, developed educational programs, and helped elevate the standard of movement education in her community.
Often described as a teacher's teacher, Natalie is known for blending the precision and structure of Pilates with the depth and mindfulness of yoga. Her approach helps instructors move beyond certification and develop the confidence, knowledge, and leadership skills required to become exceptional teachers.
Pilates Educator.
Yoga Teacher Trainer.
Movement Mentor.
What makes Natalie's methodology unique is her belief that movement should be both intelligent and transformational. Pilates taught her discipline, structure, and technical mastery. Yoga taught her presence, connection, and self-discovery. Together, these practices shaped the educator she is today.
Through Pilates Instructor Trainings, Yoga Teacher Trainings, mentorship programs, workshops, and online education, Natalie's mission is to empower the next generation of movement professionals while helping students build stronger bodies, clearer minds, and more meaningful lives through movement.
When she's not leading trainings, Natalie can be found teaching everything from Reformer Pilates and Pilates Mat to Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, and strength-based sculpt workouts—sharing her passion for movement with a growing global audience through her YouTube channel and educational platforms.

the body haus connection
Body Haus Lifestyle Club was born from a vision to bring a world-class wellness experience to Michigan's Lakeshore—one that combined movement, recovery, education, and community in a way that had never been offered before.
​
As someone who has spent her life studying movement and helping others transform through Pilates and yoga, I wanted to create a space that reflected a more complete approach to well-being. Today, Body Haus serves as both a wellness destination and a community hub where people can strengthen their bodies, restore their energy, and elevate their quality of life.
​
Everything we do at Body Haus is rooted in the same philosophy that guides my teaching: wellness isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating sustainable habits, meaningful connections, and a lifestyle that supports you for years to come.
