Qing Li is the founder of TriCore Pilates, bringing together more than a decade of experience across yoga, Pilates, movement education, and specialized body training.

Her journey in movement began with yoga and gradually expanded into Classical Pilates, professional handstand training and instruction, prenatal and postnatal Pilates, postural correction, and nutrition. Through years of teaching, practice, and continued study across these disciplines, Qing has developed a comprehensive understanding of how the body moves, adapts, and progresses.

As a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT), E-RYT 500, and Master Coach Trainer, Qing has taught more than 3,000 Pilates sessions, working with clients across different levels, movement backgrounds, and individual needs. Her multidisciplinary training allows her to look beyond individual exercises and understand movement as an integrated system of strength, alignment, control, awareness, and connection.

This perspective became the foundation of TriCore and its three essential principles: Core, Correct, and Connection. Core represents strength from within. Correct reflects precision, alignment, and purposeful movement. Connection is the awareness that brings the body and mind together.

For Qing, these principles extend beyond Pilates. They represent a way of approaching movement—and everyday life—with greater awareness, intention, and control.

Qing’s teaching is detail-oriented, precise, and deeply focused on the effectiveness of each practice. She believes good teaching is not simply about guiding clients through a sequence of exercises. It begins with observation—understanding the individual body in front of you, recognizing what it needs, and knowing how to adapt movement accordingly.

Rather than measuring progress by how many exercises are completed or how advanced a movement appears, Qing emphasizes movement quality, proper technique, body awareness, and meaningful progression. She wants clients to understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it, how to perform it more effectively, and how each movement can support their individual needs and long-term development.

This philosophy also shapes her work in Pilates teacher education and mentorship. As a Master Coach Trainer, Qing is increasingly focused on developing thoughtful and knowledgeable instructors who can move beyond simply memorizing exercises. Her approach emphasizes observation, movement analysis, precise cueing, purposeful programming, and the ability to understand and teach the individual body in front of them.

Qing’s expertise also extends into professional handstand training and instruction through the Art of Handstand. As both a dedicated handstand practitioner and coach, she approaches handstands as a discipline in their own right—one that integrates strength, mobility, balance, coordination, proprioception, and precise body control.

Through dedicated handstand classes and workshops, Qing teaches students to build the physical foundations, spatial awareness, and control required for inversion practice, progressing safely and systematically toward more advanced skills. For her, handstand training is not simply about achieving a position—it is another way to understand the body, challenge its boundaries, and discover new possibilities in movement.

Her additional specialization in prenatal and postnatal Pilates, postural correction, and nutrition further supports her whole-body approach to movement. Rather than applying the same method to every person, Qing believes effective practice should respond to the individual—their body, their goals, their stage of life, and the way they move.

For Qing, TriCore is more than a Pilates studio. It is the expression of a movement philosophy and a way of life:

Move with purpose. Practice with precision. Build strength from within. Stay connected to your body.

I am a Pilates coach at TriCore Pilates Studio, with a deep love for Chinese classical dance. My own dance practice has helped me understand how much Pilates can support the body — especially in building core strength, improving muscle awareness, and creating better control in movement.

I believe Pilates is not about chasing the most advanced exercises, but about finding the correct engagement in even the simplest movements. In my classes, I focus on clear guidance, mindful alignment, and repeated practice, helping clients slowly build precise muscle control, body awareness, and confidence in the way they move.

Hi, I’m Sirui! I’m a passionate Pilates instructor who also loves strength training and snowboarding.

I discovered Pilates while looking for a way to improve my performance in the gym, and I quickly realized how much it enhanced my strength, stability, mobility, and body control. That’s what inspired me to begin my journey as a Pilates instructor.

My goal is to help my clients build a strong core, improve body awareness, and develop better control of their movements, which they can carry into everyday life and any sport or activity they enjoy.

Whether you’re completely new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, I’d love to help you move better, feel stronger, and enjoy the process. I can’t wait to practice with you!

Hi, I’m Jenny! I’ve been practicing Pilates for many years, and it has become an important part of my life. Pilates has helped me build strength, improve my body awareness, and create balance in many aspects of my life. As an instructor, I hope to help others discover the same connection, confidence, and joy through movement.    

My teaching style is supportive, mindful, and centered around helping people find balance through movement. I believe Pilates can be a powerful tool for building strength, improving body awareness, and creating a stronger connection between the body and mind. My goal is to help each student find balance in their practice—challenging themselves while also learning to listen to and respect their body. Ultimately, I hope to help people discover how movement can support a balanced, strong, and joyful life.

Hello, I’m Joyce. True to my Aries nature, I am a passionate and energetic instructor dedicated to helping my clients to reach their goals.

My journey began when Pilates became the key to healing my own chronic lumbar pain. Those life-changing results fueled a deep commitment to the Classical Pilates method and a desire to help others move without limits.

I love working with people of all ages, shapes, and abilities. My approach is supportive and hands-on, with careful attention to form, alignment, and what your body needs that day—so you can feel stronger, move more comfortably, and thrive in the body you have.

Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me hiking with my family, cooking, or working on my latest craft project. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your movement journey.

Hi, I'm Betty! I came to Pilates looking to build strength and improve my posture — and quickly discovered it offered much more. Through practice, I learned to truly understand my body: how I move, how I breathe, and how the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference.

That discovery is what I love sharing as an instructor. My goal is to create a friendly, comfortable space where everyone can enjoy movement and feel more confident in their own bodies.

Outside the studio, I'm usually with my dog — or in the kitchen running my small side business baking homemade dog treats and cakes.

I’m passionate about anatomy, wellness, and helping people build stronger, healthier relationships with their bodies. With a PhD in Physics and a lifelong curiosity about how things work, I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and the ways movement can enhance our everyday lives. Pilates brings together my love of anatomy and movement with my passion for helping clients build strength, confidence, and a deeper mind-body connection.

Hi, I'm Ivy.

I've been practicing Pilates for over four years, and movement has always been an important part of my life.I believe that different forms of movement complement each other and help us build a stronger, healthier body.

I specialize in helping clients build strength, improve posture, and achieve the toned, balanced look they're looking for through Pilates. While many people begin their Pilates journey with aesthetic goals, I believe that's only one of its many benefits.

As an instructor, I hope to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of movement and their own bodies. Pilates is not just about completing an exercise, it's about building body awareness, body control, and a stronger mind-body connection. These are skills that stay with you beyond the studio.

For me, the greatest value of Pilates is helping people move through life with better posture, greater control, and a body that not only looks good, but functions well every day.

I remember what it's like to be new—the uncertainty, the self-consciousness. So my classes keep it simple: clear instructions, patient corrections, and zero pressure.

No fancy metaphors, just practical guidance on how your body should feel and move. Pilates helps me better understand my body, improve muscle control and athletic performance—which I hope to bring these transformative changes to you. Your progress matters to me, and we'll go at your pace.

Let's do this together.

With a background in yoga and a love for skiing, I bring both mindful awareness and dynamic strength into my classes. My teaching focuses on clear cues, proper alignment, and simple progressions so you can move safely, build core stability, and feel strong during the exercise

As a Pilates instructor, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, and golf enthusiast, I believe that true strength is not only about muscle power, but also about building balance within strength and developing body awareness through control.

My classes focus on core stability, body control, and dynamic balance, helping you improve movement performance while reducing compensation patterns and the risk of injury in daily life. Whether you are looking to build a more stable golf swing, enhance athletic performance, or improve everyday posture, we will work through detailed control-based training to create a more efficient connection with your body.

My teaching style is lighthearted and encouraging, with a sense of rhythm and flow that helps you find your own pace. I hope to make training feel less like a burden and more like a conversation with your body. Through Pilates, I hope to help you better understand your body and become stronger, more stable, and more confident.
