Arrive

“Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m thrilled to be here.

I’ve been moving my whole life, and dance has been my life’s work. As a contemporary ballet dancer, I toured internationally and performed works by world-renowned choreographers in prestigious theatres including The Joyce, the Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Hollywood Bowl. I’m also featured in Bon Iver’s Naeem lyric video. Throughout my career, my body was my instrument and my most essential tool, and Pilates is what kept it strong, healthy, and injury free. It also gave me a deep trust in my body, and that trust is what I now get to share with you.

I’m a comprehensively trained and certified Pilates instructor through Balanced Body, trained in CoreAlign, and currently studying to become a Pelvic Floor Corrective Specialist. I’ve been teaching for over ten years, and I’ve worked with clients through injuries, surgery, rehabilitation, prenatal and postpartum, and with neurodivergent clients and people with disabilities. I believe Pilates is for everyone and every body. I want you to leave the studio feeling empowered, centered, and more connected to yourself.

Lately, my own body has been my greatest teacher. I’m a brand new mom to my sweet boy, Levi, and motherhood has cracked me wide open. It has been tender, humbling, and more beautiful than I knew how to imagine. I’ve learned that life’s changes and challenges are fertile soil, and that the hardest seasons are often where the deepest transformation and growth begin.

I bring that belief into every session. Wherever you are right now, whether you’re healing, rebuilding, growing, or just beginning, you are exactly where you need to be, and there is room for all of you here.

My husband, our pup Arthur, and I are loving making Denver home. Outside the studio, you can find me exploring new hiking trails, hitting the slopes in the winter, or traveling, now with a little one in tow.

I can’t wait to meet you.”

I will remember this season vividly forever. It has been so full of milestones + accomplishments, and it has also been a really tricky + hard season. I am coming out on the other side of…wherever I have been. I am grateful for it all.

⛅️Baby due this fall. I still cant believe this whole pregnancy thing lol

⛅️The retreat in Tulum was everything we wanted it to be and we are already planning for our next one…where should we go??

⛅️I turned 35 and Millie is turning 2 this week. I feel really excited about these ages.

⛅️I truly love sharing this space with Amelia (Amelia May PT, DPT | Pelvic Floor PT | Denver, CO ) + Logan (Logan Edwards | Physical Therapist | Denver Colorado ). Since September, we have each filled the space with our whole hearts + our schedules are full. It feels so right to be working alongside entrepreneurs who are doing it + crushing it.

⛅️I have been reading more than ever and I am almost caught up to Survivor Season 50. Some recent 5 star books I’ve read are The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino, Famesick by Lena Dunham, and Heart the Lover by Lily King. What is everyone reading + watching??

⛅️Arrive has never been busier and I probably need to hire so if you know someone that aligns with what we are doing here, send them my way! I love this method and I am so committed to it. You Pilates people show me everyday how it manifests in real lives and bodies and can *almost* solve all of our problems hehe

Thank you for being here.

The post retreat post

I am a human balloon floating and bouncing with this gorgeous group of women forever.

If you were to gently poke me with a pin

Bubbles
Waves
Laughter
Sun moon stars

Would flow out of me

Returning all that we shared, gained and felt
Back to the universe, to nature, to each other

Kate, my muse, we did it again. I’m soooooo full and proud and holy s**t that was so much work & fun.

Thank you, Aimee you’re my person
