Echelon Pilates with Erin Brown

Enjoy these pictures of my sweet little Diego through the years. I sadly said goodbye to him two weeks ago, which is why I’ve been quiet on the socials.
I’m so thankful for all the joy he brought to me and my husband Ty. I miss him terribly.
He knew me before I even practiced Pilates, much less taught it.
He knew me before I started a business.
He came into my life just a few weeks before I met my husband and witnessed our entire relationship.
He was with us through the pandemic, hurricane Helene, 2 moves, and tons of living room dance parties, meals, movies, laughter, and tears.
Spoil your pet today. They see the raw, unfiltered versions of us and love us anyway. We are so lucky to have them in our lives. 🕯️❤️‍🩹🦜

At first glance, you might think “what’s the big deal?”
But when you practice standing up on your back leg and using the appropriate resistance, it suddenly becomes a doozie. (This was Nicole’s first time & it was taking everything in her)

The best Pilates often flies under the radar. It’s not acrobatic or flashy. It’s a simple push down that requires you to get the entire body on board with you.
Do you practice this one? It can be effective and challenging for just about anybody of any age or skill level.

New for Spring! (You asked & I listened) Whether you’d like to refresh your work, or want an alternative to the Upper Echelon Membership, the “Three in One” is a new option for your Contrology training. These are full 50-55 minute lessons that must be used in one month. (online option also available)

🌱Echelon Pilates offers an experience unlike any other studio in Western North Carolina. I teach Contrology, the original method created by Joe Pilates.

💡Group Contrology classes (AKA “Open Studio”) are offered alongside private lessons. Group work supports consistency and independence, while private lessons ensure the method is being taught correctly for YOUR body. These are not the typical synchronized Pilates classes prevalent today. They are the real thing!

🌷Each student follows their own PERSONALIZED sequence within the group setting. Everyone is working at their appropriate level and pace, with necessary guidance, rather than performing identical choreography. This is how the work is most effective.

🌸Because Open Studio is self-directed, students need a few private lessons first to build a foundation. I set students up for success, so they have the tools and skills to join in confidently & thrive!

💖We have fun in here and our community is incredibly friendly and supportive. If you’re interested in joining us, I’d love to meet you! For questions about the studio, or for approval to join class, please email: [email protected]
