ABOUT
Powered by Heat, Driven by Community
We believe that everyone deserves to feel strong, confident, and connected —and that starts with removing the barriers that make fitness feel intimidating or exclusive. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or stepping onto the mat for the first time, you belong here.
about hot pilates huntington
Hot Pilates Huntington was born from a passion for powerful movement, authentic community, and a desire to make fitness more accessible.
Hot Pilates Huntington is where high-energy movement meets community empowerment. Come for the workout, stay for the vibe.
Inspired by the success of our hot yoga studio in Rockville Centre, New York’s first original hot yoga space — we saw a need for high-quality, equipment-free Pilates on Long Island.
In a world of boutique studios with complex machines, we keep it simple: just your body, a mat, and the energy to move.

Karina Blackstone
Karina’s hot yoga journey began over 20 years ago at Bikram Yoga RVC. Despite struggling in her first class, she felt its transformative power and was instantly hooked. In 2022, she became the owner of Hot Yoga 4 You Rockville Centre—New York’s original hot yoga studio—revitalizing the space and building a thriving community.
By 2024, she introduced Hot Pilates to the studio, and the response was electric. Classes filled up fast, and the demand kept growing. Realizing the lack of accessible mat-based Pilates on Long Island, Karina launched a studio fully dedicated to it.
Owner
Lily Blackstone
Lily is the co-owner of Hot Pilates Huntington and a certified Inferno Hot Pilates and Mat Pilates instructor. She completed both trainings in 2025 before turning 17 and brings focus, energy, and empathy to every class.
After recovering from Lyme disease and multiple injuries, Lily discovered how movement could rebuild not just the body, but confidence and clarity. She believes movement is medicine—and her goal is to help others discover what she did: that healing doesn’t mean going backward, but moving forward, stronger and more connected than before.
Owner/INSTRUCTOR
Carol Aguilar
Carol was introduced to Hot Yoga 4 You RVC more than a decade ago and instantly connected with the practice. Her commitment to the community grew through years of internship and involvement at the studio.
Now a certified Inferno Hot Pilates instructor, Carol is known for her upbeat energy and motivating presence. Her classes are fun, empowering, and designed to challenge students while making them feel strong and supported. She’s currently completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and looks forward to blending that knowledge into her teaching.
Instructor
Nicole Barci
Full-time Elementary Art Teacher and Pilates Instructor, blending creativity and movement in everything I do. My wellness journey began in 2020 with a Bikram yoga class that sparked my love for mindful movement. After losing and maintaining 65 pounds, I discovered Mat Pilates and Hot Pilates Express—the music, energy, and community reignited my passion for movement.
After five years behind the front desk at my favorite studio, I earned my Mat Pilates certification and later trained in Hot Pilates Express. I love the balance between both styles—one fiery and high-energy, the other grounding and intentional.
Instructor
Veronica Abril
Veronica brings a heart-centered approach to every class, blending movement, mindfulness, and breath to help students reconnect with their inner strength. A certified RYT-200 yoga teacher and Mat/Inferno Hot Pilates instructor, she combines Vinyasa, Yin, Yinyasa, and restorative elements for balanced flows suitable for all levels.
With a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and over a decade as a licensed acupuncturist, she emphasizes balance, body awareness, and holistic wisdom in her teaching.
Instructor & Sound HEALER
Lia Miele
Lia’s yoga journey began 14 years ago when a friend brought her to her first Bikram class—and she was hooked. The physical and mental challenge quickly became a source of healing, helping her get and stay sober for the past 11 years.
In 2017, she became a certified hot yoga instructor under Yolanda and John Nash. A lifelong runner and wellness enthusiast, Lia credits the practice for supporting her goals on and off the mat. In 2022, she deepened her journey by completing her 500-hour Vinyasa training through My Vinyasa Practice.
