Rachel Hosea’s been dancing since she was just a little girl in Sugar Land. She says, “I went to TCU and majored in Ballet. After graduation I knew that professional dance wasn’t my life’s path, instead I wanted to share my love of fitness and grace. I continued my education and earned my Pilates certification. I met the owner of a Barre Studio...and the concept really resonated with me. I began teaching Barre and Pilates for her and completely fell in love. I knew Sugar Land needed access to this kind of transformative workout...so I moved back home and opened Reformed Body Studio.”

But I’ll let Peyton tell you the story in her own words.”
