Some clients make you feel like a genius.
Othersโ€ฆ make you question your life choices. ๐Ÿ˜…

Itโ€™s not because youโ€™re a bad teacher.
Itโ€™s because every client moves, thinks, and learns differently.

Once you start spotting movement personalities - the whole dynamic changes.
Suddenly, the โ€œtoughโ€ clients arenโ€™t toughโ€ฆ they just need to be taught in their language.

When I couldnโ€™t read the room at my first conference workshop, I leaned into one thing: TRUST.

Last year I taught at my very first Pilates conference. ๐Ÿฆ‹ Sweaty palms, butterflies, and two full workshops ahead of me.

In the first session, I couldnโ€™t quite read the room. It was the very first day of the event, and for many people, their first-ever conference. The energy felt quiet, and I wondered if what I was sharing was landing.

But I kept going. I stayed true to my confidence and the knowledge of what I was teaching. And hereโ€™s the wild part: when the feedback came in later, of the two workshops... that one received the highest ratings and comments!

It was such a reminder that you never really know what people are thinking in the moment - and that what matters most is showing up as yourself, teaching from the heart, and trusting the process. The rest has a way of working itself out. ๐Ÿ’›

Iโ€™m deeply grateful to Irma (BB event coordinator) for the invitation, Joy (BB Director of Education) for believing in me, and Ken Endelman (pictured, owner of Balanced Body) for taking the leap into Pilates-land and making spaces like this possible. ๐Ÿ™ I look forward to seeing everyone again at the next conference in Chicago!

Hello everyone! As I reapproach social media, I felt it would be a good idea to reintroduce myself for those who are finding me for the first time ๐Ÿ˜Š

Iโ€™m Ginny Massie - Pilates mentor, Balanced Body Principal Educator, NCPT, and a total movement + moon nerd ๐ŸŒ™โœจ. Iโ€™ve been teaching Pilates for 21 years, and along the way Iโ€™ve realized my passion is not just teaching exercises, but teaching people - helping both clients and Pilates teachers find strength, confidence, and joy through movement.

While many people initially come to Pilates because of injury or dance, I began my personal practice for my mental health. At a time when I was navigating diagnosed depression, Pilates became a lifeline - a way to generate positive energy flow in my body when I needed it most. To this day... itโ€™s still my mainstay of movement, grounding me with both strength and joy.

Several years ago I started creating workshops, classes, and programs because I saw so many amazing teachers doubting themselves, overthinking, or heading toward burnout. My mission? To make teaching feel sustainable and joyful (again).

When Iโ€™m not teaching or working with teachers, youโ€™ll find me enjoying a delectable cup of herbal tea, following the latest moon cycle, or singing a random one-liner from a song (because being silly is a necessity of life ๐Ÿ˜‚).

If youโ€™re new here, say hi below - Iโ€™d love to know how Pilates fits into your life. And if weโ€™ve known each other for years - please say hi below, and know that I appreciate and thank you for being here with me on this journey. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Hugs & Pilates,
Ginny ๐Ÿ’›

You know it's been way too long since you've hit the mat. We Pilates teachers are notorious for giving others energy-fueling workouts and then are too tired at the end of the day to do our own.

Did you know that regularly skipping your own workouts affects not only your body health, but also...

๐Ÿ’ซ Your brain health, and your capacity to process information clearly
๐Ÿ’ซ Your mental health, and your ability to stave off anxiety & depression
๐Ÿ’ซ Your self-care, so that you have the extra energy required for taking care of others
๐Ÿ’ซ Your creativity... without continually putting the Pilates work into your body, your ability to adjust, modify, and advance exercises gets severely hampered and lowers your creativity.

The solution is simple. Keep your practice fresh. Whatever that means for you.

Once a week? Awesome.

Once a day? Cool.

Once a month? Better than zero.

We'll be focusing on traditional and creative beginner+ level exercises that move & strengthen the spine in all directions.

Expect some kneeling and all-fours work, as well as many other positions that create a strong, rejuvenating workout at this level.

The recording is available for 14 days.

I do this so that you can enjoy the class as a student first, then have time to go back and rewatch the video to take notes, observe, etc.

Each class I teach is chock full of inspiration...
Class order.
Sequences.
Cues.
Transitions.
You name it... every class is loaded.
