Giving yourself a few distraction-free minutes or hours can help you get in touch with who you are and what matters to you.

Why we owe it to ourselves to spend quiet time alone every day By not giving ourselves the minutes — or hours — free of devices and distractions, we risk losing our ability to know who we are and what’s important to us, says physicist and writer Al…

For International 5 Star Event Rider Sharon White, Pilates has been a game changer for her performance in the saddle because of its focus on balance and core strength. “I think Pilates is the single best thing anyone who rides could possibly do,” she said. “I’m such a believer in it for core strength, for balance, for body awareness, for flexibility, for symmetry. It is so important for your horse that you sit on them correctly and straight and are aware of that, and core strength is the single best thing you can do for riding.”

We know that starting a new exercise program is hard, and gets harder every day that you say, "I'll start tomorrow". If you don't want to start in a small group class, because you don't want to be that "one person" who doesn't get it -- that's ok. We offer 1:1 Pilates sessions. We'll take time to talk about you, your wellness goals, and your movement goals, and then we'll introduce you to Pilates and make sure you're comfortable with the exercises. A 1:1 Pilates session is exactly the opposite of the personal training sessions you may have seen on TV with trainers pushing you to go faster & harder. You'll get a whole body workout - but you'll destress and feel energized when you leave!

Of course you should do Pilates today! Whether you do 5 minutes in between all your other tasks, or you attend a class with us - make Pilates part of your day!

One of the most frequently asked questions from people new to our studio is, "What should I wear to Pilates?" The most important part of the answer to this question is we want you to be comfortable, We are excited that you chose STUDIO NAME to help you meet your movement goals, and that's much more important to us than what you wear or the brand of your workout wear.

Wear comfortable exercise clothing such as T-shirts, tank tops, and workout pants. While we ask you to avoid wearing extremely baggy clothes as they prevent us from helping you with your alignment and can make it hard for you to move comfortably - don't feel like your clothing needs to be so form fitting as to make you uncomfortable.
