I’m Ashlyn Tallant, owner and founder of Poise Wellness Club. As a Mississippi native and Ole Miss Alumni, Oxford has always been home, so building something meaningful here has been a dream come true. 

 It didn’t start out as a dream though. In 2022, I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and Hashimoto Autoimmune Disease. It completely shifted my perspective on life, longevity, and movement. During my recovery, I struggled mentally and physically. I searched for something to help me regain my strength and feel like myself again. I found reformer pilates and immediately fell in love. I felt a calling that can only be explained as divine redirection. I decided then to start building a plan to leave my corporate career behind and open my own studio. 

I knew if pilates could help me during my recovery that there had to be more people that could benefit from it. It is my goal to help people rebuild from the inside out. Today, I’m cancer free and stronger than I’ve ever been.  

As a certified pilates instructor, I have a deep appreciation for classical pilates and the legacy that Joseph Pilates created. Poise is a place to breathe, to grow, to learn, and to connect. Come as you are and leave taller, stronger, and more confident.
