Elaina DeCoteau

Instructors

Aug 24

Elaina was born and raised in the New York City metro area. Working in the tech industry she grew tired of the daily grind and hustle. Seeking a warmer climate and more outdoorsy lifestyle she moved to Hawaii in 2017. Elaina has always led an active life- from playing volleyball and softball in her youth to snowboarding and running half marathons as a young adult; to hiking, surfing, and playing beach volleyball in Hawaii. She found mat Pilates in a big box gym back in NY and immediately fell in love. While everyone was rushing to yoga class, she was strengthening her core with the classical Pilates mat work. Upon moving to Hawaii she wanted to reconnect with that strength and began joining mat classes at Pilates O Ka Lā. In 2022 she opted for a career change and committed to becoming a Pilates Instructor and personal trainer. She completed her Pilates Certification under Chelsea Peck at Pilates O Ka Lā in 2023. Elaina’s goal for her clients is to help them move better and feel stronger in their bodies.
