Jo Ann Molnar
Jo Ann Molnar is a yoga, pilates, and spin teacher with a passion for all aspects of health and wellness.
Jo Ann is currently a Stott Pilates Mat and Reformer apprentice at Pyour Core Studio. Her certifications include Aerial Yoga teacher; 200-RYT Yoga teacher; RealRyder cycling instructor; and Madd Dogg spin instructor. Jo Ann is also a registered horticulturist and holds an advanced scuba diving license.
She became a Pilates Instructor because she want to help people move and breathe through daily activities with more freedom and power and less pain. She is particularly interested in helping individuals recover from injuries, slow the progression of various diseases and influence the quality of their physical and mental well-being while enjoying a more enjoyable active lifestyle throughout all stages of life.
Having experienced first-hand the transformative powers of mind-body modalities like yoga and pilates, Jo Ann wanted to help others by teaching. After suffering a back injury and being told surgery was the only option, Jo Ann instead worked to improve her physical and mental health through daily practice and found relief from the pain. Many years of these mind-body practices have given Jo Ann the mental and physical tools required to cope with life-changing events.
Pilates can have a restorative effect on lower back pain and is beneficial when chronic pain or injury impairs movement. The focus is on the core of the body, with a balance between strength and flexibility, so that in addition to the recuperative benefits, pilates practice results in stronger, leaner muscles. Many people choose to incorporate both pilates and yoga into their lives
Jo Ann is a second-generation Italian and New York native, Jo Ann’s love for the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle began as a young girl spending a lot of time on her grandparent’s fruit and vegetable farm. It was there that Jo Ann developed a deep love of nature, an appreciation for whole, organic foods, and an understanding of the connection between nature, nutrition, and human health.
Passionate about conservation and preserving our environment, she is involved in a number of nonprofit organizations that further this cause.
When Jo Ann is not teaching or studying, she loves spending time with two beautiful and inspiring adult children, and her seven rescue pets! She also finds time to work on her organic vegetable garden and enjoys cooking and baking whole foods.

Kaylee McKay
I spend my summers in Long Beach Island and have had the pleasure of working at Pyour Core the few past years. In high school I took a NASM Personal Training class offered from the high school, and saw the overlap with what all my coaches have taught me and science classes.
I am going into my junior year at Sacred Heart University as a Nursing Major, and have only fallen more in love with the idea of wellness and living a healthy lifestyle.
From a young age, I was playing all sports and always working out. During high school, I took a cycle class and fell in love. Cycling workouts are nothing but energetic and fun. Right when I finish a workout, I am looking forward to the next one! I have learned that working out is not a task to do, but a hobby that one should look forward to!
Pyour Core is full of a passionate community that looks forward to working out, and having fun. I love teaching as I choose upbeat and energetic music that all can enjoy and have fun listening to while moving their body!
