Walk us through your morning routine. What are some practices or products that you’re loving in this season of life?

Liana Levi: I truly believe in practicing what I preach. I’m usually up around 6am to move my body and take a moment for myself before the day begins.

It’s important to give yourself grace in the morning. Starting slow and steady helps ground me for everything ahead.

Let’s talk about 1% choices: the small actions that move the needle and help you become your best self over time. What are some of your daily disciplines?

Liana Levi: Manifesting and setting goals are a huge part of my daily routine. I really believe in the power of intention—taking time each day to align with what I’m working toward, both personally and professionally. There’s always room to grow, and I’m constantly striving to evolve in every area of my life. Growth is never a finish line; it’s a daily practice.

Guide us through a day in your life as the founder of Forma Pilates. How does your life today look different from when you first started Forma back in 2020?

Liana Levi: As the founder of Forma Pilates, no two days are ever the same, but they’re always full. My schedule is usually packed with internal team meetings, teaching, filming content for our digital platform, and making sure I carve out time to prioritize both my physical and mental well-being.

Back in 2020, my focus was on building Forma from the ground up and figuring out how to scale with intention. Our referral-only model brings a unique dynamic to our growth, so building my team has been key. It’s given me the space to focus on broader growth strategy across our studios, digital offerings, social presence, and beyond.

If you had to pinpoint one “secret ingredient” for achieving mind-body-spirit alignment, what would it be? How does it fuel lasting success?

Liana Levi: Asking yourself if you want to live or thrive in life. Feeling your best is addicting and I feel like this is a huge source of fuel for myself in my everyday life as well as growing this business. 

If you could go back 5 years and share one piece of advice with your younger self, what would you say and why?

Liana Levi: Life has a way of working out exactly as it’s meant to. I wish I had reminded myself of that more when I was younger—it’s something I hold close and come back to often now. Everything truly happens for a reason, even if we don’t see it in the moment.

To elevate our lives, we have to let go of the old stories, habits, and beliefs that are weighing us down. What are a few things you’ve surrendered lately to align with your highest self?

Liana Levi: Every experience, good or bad, is a lesson. What matters most is how you choose to learn and integrate those experiences to bring awareness and growth into your life. 

Fill in the blanks — I used to think wellness looked like _____, but now I know it’s actually ____.

Liana Levi: I used to think wellness looked the same every day. Now I know wellness is ever-changing depending on what my body needs from me. 

What’s your favorite Arrae product and why?

Liana Levi: Bloat. It’s simple, effective and perfect for everyday use!
