You don’t have to specialize in every sport to apply Pilates effectively. But you want to be able to shift perspectives. Join Kenlie and me for Athletic Lens workshop in Miami next Saturday Nov. 7th to explore how Pilates can meet athletes’ specific needs across their sport, position, injuries, and off seasons. Like these professional dancers from Lula Washington Dance Theater who rehearse up to 6hrs a day and even during performance weeks.

The best Pilates teachers don’t just know exercises. They know how to observe, analyze, adapt, and make thoughtful decisions.

That’s what The Bodyline Lens is all about.

After 38 years of teaching, I’ve developed a process that goes far beyond teaching repertoire. I want to share how I look at movement, how I build sessions, how I use my hands, and how I decide what to teach, when to teach it, and why.

This is an interactive weekend designed to sharpen your eye, challenge your critical thinking, expand your repertoire, and help you become a more confident, independent teacher.

The Bodyline Lens is one of two companion immersive workshops that make up The Bodyline Method.

I’m keeping this group intentionally small, limited to just 15 teachers, so we can have meaningful discussions and individual attention.

December 5–6 | Livestream
12 hours live + 4 hours of digital learning

7 AM Pacific | 10 AM Eastern | 4 PM Central Europe

This is the only time I’m teaching this immersive workshop via livestream this year.

Early bird pricing ends Saturday, October 31.

I’M NOT GATEKEEPING. LET’S TALK BUSINESS.

I’ve been on both sides of the Pilates business. Before I owned my own studio, I worked for someone else. And over the years, I’ve hired and worked with hundreds of Pilates instructors, both independent contractors and employees.

I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and learned plenty of lessons the hard way.

Now I’m opening the books and sharing what I’ve learned about running a successful Pilates business—from both sides of the relationship.

No gatekeeping. No sugarcoating. No questions off-limits.

Whether you’re a studio owner, an independent instructor, or someone thinking about opening your own place, this conversation is for you.

One of the most important decisions you’ll make when opening a Pilates studio is how much to invest in your equipment.

I’ve taught on at least 10 different brands of Pilates equipment over the course of my career, and I’ve watched the industry change dramatically.

New manufacturers seem to appear every day. I’m constantly being solicited by factories in China offering to manufacture my own line of equipment!

But here’s what I’m noticing: Pilates equipment brands are becoming more and more alike.

Everyone has wood. Everyone has metal. Everyone has black machines, white machines, and sleek contemporary designs. Even the lower-priced reformers have become significantly sturdier.

The differences between brands are becoming less obvious, and the choices for studio owners are expanding.

So how much do you really need to spend on a reformer?

Your budget will play a major role in that decision. There are now plenty of options in the $3,000–$5,000 range worth considering. But price and appearance don’t tell the whole story.

The way a machine moves, its adjustability, spring resistance, dimensions, and overall functionality can have a significant impact on how you teach and the experience you provide for your clients.

And after nearly four decades in this industry, I have some strong opinions!

On my subscription page, you’ll find my in-depth equipment reviews of:

• Balanced Body
• Merrithew
• BASI
• Elina
• Your Reformer
• NordicTrack
• Technogym

You’ll also find exclusive discounts, exercise breakdowns, behind-the-scenes content, and insights into Pilates injury litigation from my work as an expert witness.

Before you invest thousands in equipment, invest a little time in understanding what you’re buying.

I’m curious: What brand do you currently teach on, and if you were opening a studio tomorrow, would you choose the same equipment?

This is Sherm from the Seattle Seahawks. Even after 38 years of teaching, hearing how Pilates continues to benefit people’s lives still warms my heart. Kenlie trains professional athletes across a wide range of sports, many returning year after year because they believe in the Pilates method and her unique approach to training. There’s so much to learn just by observing her work. I’ll be joining her in Miami with Gula, a former Cirque du Soleil performer, to bring two elite athletes from different backgrounds together. Studio spots are still available, with livestream and recording options for those who can’t attend in person.

Rowing is one of my favorite classical series. I teach it to almost every client because I genuinely believe there’s a variation for everyone. Yet, it’s a series I don’t see taught very often in contemporary Pilates settings. Contemporary teachers, I’m curious: What makes you hesitate to teach the classical rowing series? Is it the choreography, the setup, the cueing, or something else entirely?

Does the equipment you teach on determine your style of Pilates?

I think it does—at least 60% of the time.

Think about it. There are reformers designed for classical Pilates, an enormous variety for contemporary and clinical Pilates, and specific models that dominate the group fitness world.

Balanced Body is one of the few companies that makes equipment across all these styles. And that versatility can completely change how you teach.

You can work with shoulder blocks on or off. You can choose a reformer that sits two feet off the ground, making access easier for clients with injuries or mobility limitations. Or you can work with traditional straps and wheel configurations that appeal to classical teachers.

The equipment doesn’t just accommodate your teaching style. It can actually influence it.

Balanced Body has been part of the Pilates industry for decades, and one thing I’ve noticed over my 38 years of teaching is that Pilates instructors are creatures of habit.

We tend to stay loyal to the equipment we learned on. We get comfortable with the feel, the springs, the dimensions, and the way a particular machine moves.

But I wonder if that loyalty sometimes limits our teaching.

I’m curious: How many of you are still teaching on the same brand you trained on? And if you’ve switched brands, what made you change?

I’d love to hear from classical, contemporary, clinical, and group fitness instructors.

If you’ve participated in any of my continuing education, you know how much importance I place on the side plank.

What you’re watching is the final expression of a series I developed and have been progressing with my client Jonathan over an extended period of time.

But look beyond the exercise itself.

The exercise selection, the progression, the care taken entering and exiting the movement, the equipment choices, and even the way I use my hands are all part of the Bodyline Method.

I teach more than exercises. I teach a methodology.

It’s a process I’ve refined over 38 years of teaching, working with a wide range of bodies, and building a successful Pilates studio.

And once a year, I share that process in an intimate, immersive livestream workshop.

THE BODYLINE LENS
Modern Pilates. Classic Core.

This is continuing education designed to change the way you see movement and the way you teach.

We’ll explore:

• Training your eye to see what matters
• The art of tactile cueing and using your hands with intention
• Breaking down advanced exercises into teachable progressions
• Designing better, more purposeful sessions
• Applying anatomy to movement for deeper understanding and clearer instruction

December 5–6
12 hours of live-stream education

I keep this workshop small so I can provide individual attention, feedback, and meaningful interaction with every teacher.

Half the spots are already gone.

If you’re ready to go beyond collecting exercises and start refining how you think, see, and teach, I’d love to have you join me.

What does an MLB player have in common with a circus artist?

More than you might think.

Kenlie has worked extensively with professional athletes in the NFL and MLB. My career has been a little more eclectic, working with dancers, circus artists, golfers, and just about everyone in between.

This November, we’re bringing our worlds together in Miami.

You’ll have the rare opportunity to watch us work with two very different athletes, learn how we design their sessions, and then see what happens when they move through the same exercises together.

This isn’t just about collecting new exercises. It’s about developing your eye, your critical thinking, and your ability to adapt Pilates to the person in front of you.

One of the biggest challenges in teaching movement is knowing how much to cue, what to say, and when to say it. My advice? Find a teacher you love and really listen. Notice their clarity, tone, precision, and ability to address the main thing without overexplaining. Great cueing is a skill that takes years to develop, and you can’t do it alone. You need feedback from peers and mentors you trust—and the willingness to grow. Join me at my upcoming workshops for new and seasoned teachers.
