See you on the porch!

This memory from 10 years ago popped up on my Facebook. This was taken during my BASI Comprehensive Teacher Training with the incredible Meredith Rogers . Prior to this, I had completed my Mat and Reformer training with STOTT Pilates, but the BASI program filled in an important missing piece for me at the time.

Now, I’m continuing my studies through learning Classical Pilates, which feels like uncovering even more pieces of the puzzle. I’m especially excited to begin my Classical Mat training this summer!

One of the things I love most about Pilates is that the learning never stops.

Always evolving. Always learning.

International Pilates Day!

At My Pilates Studio, this day means more than a celebration - it’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for.

We are a Contemporary Pilates studio, rooted in and respectful of the Classical method. That means we honour where this work comes from while applying it through the lens of modern biomechanics, education, and experience. Pilates is not just a workout to us - it’s a system. A method. A practice that was thoughtfully designed with intention, progression and purpose.

In a world where Pilates is often reduced to trends, aesthetics, or a single piece of equipment, we believe it’s important to pause and remember what makes this method so powerful.

The exercises, the order, the transitions, the apparatus - none of it is random.

There is a reason behind every movement.
There is a system behind every class.

Preserving the integrity of the method doesn’t mean staying stuck in the past. It means understanding it deeply enough to teach it with clarity, purpose and respect. It means continuing to study, to question and to evolve - without losing the essence of what Pilates truly is.

For us, that looks like:

✨Teaching beyond the reformer!

✨Honouring the full system - mat, reformer, tower, chair, barrels.

✨Investing in ongoing education and lineage.

✨ Keeping classes intentional, not performative.

✨ Creating an environment where clients learn, not just move.

Because this method, when taught well, changes how you move, how you feel, and how you understand your body.

Today, we celebrate the work.

And we recommit to teaching it the way it was meant to be taught - with integrity, depth and care.
