Stacy Hunter Celi believes in a Mind~Body~Spirit path to optimal health. The whole body must be considered when making lasting changes, which is why she regularly works with and values both Western and Eastern Doctors and Health Practitioners. Her training sessions blend the art and science of human movement, while focusing on the union of strength and balance for everyday life. Her compassion and “omni” approach to working with individuals of all levels of health and wellness can be experienced as 55 min individual sessions or 90 minute Bodywork Blend of Pilates, Cranial Sacral / Reiki.

Her love for Pilates began when it was prescribed as her as an intervention for her physical therapy after a series of surgeries. She was inspired to become certified in Pilates after she experienced the benefits Pilates could offer someone, no matter what their current physical condition.   

Understanding through her own journey of personal experiences the health and wellness consequences of putting everyone else’s needs before her own is one of her favorite life lessons.  This lesson was the catalyst for the creation of her Emerging and Evolving Self Care Programs and Workshops. These programs are available  in the Corporate Workplace or Small Groups LIVE or Via ZOOM.

She has enjoyed teaching fitness across the country since 1995 and returned to her hometown of Louisville, KY in 2007 after years of owning Pilates Village in Los Angeles. In 2008, Stacy established the Pilates Sports Center Teacher Training program in Louisville. Stacy also became the 1st PSC Master Teacher Trainer in Kentucky in 2008 and taught students seeking to earn their Pilates Certification and Continuing Education Courses for 10 years.  Stacy has been a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT)  since 2012.  In 2016, after many amazing years of building Pilates Village Louisville, Stacy happily sold Pilates Village to be able to fully enjoy the gift of time with her children and family and expansion of her other businesses and dreams.  

In 2017 Stacy opened  Vogue Pilates @ Live Well Natural Health @ The Vogue Center. In 2021 Stacy returned to her BASI roots and became a Host Studio for BASI Pilates.  With a reputation for innovation and academic excellence, BASI™ strives to provide the most comprehensive Pilates education experience and educational resources available.
