Tanner’s first farmers market is TODAY! 🎉
After months of hard work, his sparkling water with electrolytes is officially ready, and today is his very first farmers market. 🍊✨
Crisp, refreshing, and made to help you hydrate better.
If you’re at the market today, stop by, say hello, grab a sample, and support a local entrepreneur.

We just wrapped up Mat 1, 2 & 3 Intensive, and to say I’m inspired is an understatement. Some of these incredible students committed to all 6 consecutive days, while others joined for 2 — but every single person showed up, put in the work, asked amazing questions, shared thoughtful conversations, and brought their absolute best to the mat.

There was a whole lot of learning, growth, laughter, and mat work packed into these six days — plus a fun 50th birthday celebration on Day 5! 🎂✨

There’s something truly special about immersive training. Spending six straight days together creates connections and community in a way that’s hard to describe. Watching everyone find their voice, grow more confident, curious, and inspired each day was such a gift.

I’m so proud of this group and very much looking forward to staying connected over the years and seeing where your teaching journeys take you. 💙

A diagnosis shouldn’t shrink your world.
When you’re managing low bone density, the common advice is often to “be careful.” Unfortunately, “being careful” usually leads to moving less, which can actually decrease the functional strength you need for daily life.

The secret isn’t doing less—it’s moving smarter.

Our Healthy Bones program is specifically designed for those navigating osteoporosis. We provide the expert eyes and the tailored programming so you can stop second-guessing your movement and start feeling capable again.

🗓 Join us for Healthy Bones: Mon / Wed / Fri @ 10:00 AM
📍 Bend Pilates

In our studio, we don’t just “exercise”; we educate and help you refine how your body carries itself.

Neutral Pelvis & Alignment: Finding your body’s natural “home base” to ensure every move is supported and safe.

Hip Stability: Strengthening the muscles that protect your balance and steady your gait.

Functional Awareness: Teaching you how to take these “smart” mechanics into your daily life—from gardening to grabbing groceries.

Reformer 3 is no joke 💥
This weekend was a true reflection of what it means to be part of the family. Every single one of these incredible women showed up with heart, courage, and unwavering support for one another.
They stepped into challenges they once thought were out of reach—and absolutely crushed them.
This clip says so much, but it’s just a glimpse of the respect, commitment, and strength that filled the room all weekend long.
So proud of this group and the way they showed up for themselves and each other 💙

Pilates is more popular than ever—and that’s a great thing. Exactly what Joseph Pilates dreamed of - “I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier”.

But with the boom in reformer studios, quality varies more than ever now too.
A recent Guardian article called it the “wild west,” with rising injuries linked to overcrowded classes, minimal training, and little to no individual attention.

Not all Pilates is created equal.

As someone who has spent over 20 years studying under first and second-generational masters and mentoring the next wave of instructors, I’ve seen the full spectrum. “Pilates” shouldn’t just be a marketing term for pulsing until you burn out to thumping music. Pilates was designed to be intentional, precise, and deeply informed. But today, “Pilates” can mean anything—from highly trained instruction to classes that barely resemble the method at all.

Before you book your next class, ask:

➡️Are the instructors comprehensively trained (or just “certified” over a weekend)?

➡️Did they ask for your health and injury history?

➡️Is the class small enough for the instructor to actually see and correct you?

At Bend Pilates, we honor the method, every instructor is comprehensively trained because your body deserves more than a trend—it deserves a transformation. We prioritize your safety.
If you’ve been curious, or had an experience that didn’t feel right, we’re here to help.
We offer a free 15 minute consult to introduce you to the studio and explore how Pilates will enhance your life.

Day 31 - The Push Up
We did it—31 days of March Matness ✔️

Honestly…creating and sharing 31 posts was THE challenge! 😅

Our goal this month was to bring the focus back to where it all began. The mat is where you refine your skills, find your deep core, and prove that you are your own best piece of equipment and you can practice anywhere.

To everyone who followed along, practiced with us, and cheered us on—thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the mat!

We have arrived at Day 30 - Control Balance

It requires strength of the Roll Over, the stability of the Shoulder Bridge, and finding stillness in the movement and strength in the stretch.

Definitely not in Bend for this one. Any guesses?
