Lakewood, this one’s for you. 🤍
ab&flow has quietly become one of Ohio’s favorite reformer studios - if you haven’t been in yet, consider this your sign.
All levels welcome, no experience needed. Just show up.
Lakewood + Beachwood locations - book your first class at the link in our bio.
1️⃣: Your certification is your foundation - not your ceiling. Getting certified doesn’t mean you know everything, it means you’re committed to continuous learning . The best instructors never stop studying the body. (link in bio to start your certification journey with ab&flow)
2️⃣: You will find your people. The clients who are meant to be in your class will find you - but only if you show up as yourself. Don’t teach for everyone. Teach for your people.
3️⃣: Your style is your superpower. There is no single “right” way to teach Pilates. What matters is that your cues are clear, your clients are progressing, and your personality is in the room.
4️⃣: Programming gets easier over time. Building seamless, effective classes takes time and repetition. Be patient with yourself in the beginning. The more you teach, the more your exercise library grows and the more natural it becomes.
5️⃣: Being certified will open doors significantly. Studios, private clients, and serious opportunities go to certified instructors first. If you’ve been teaching without one - or thinking about starting - your certification is the single highest return investment you can make in this career.

Chicago summers are officially here, which means street festival season has arrived. ☀️
✨ The Old Town Art Fair is, of course, our favorite—and this year it’s even more special as we welcome our very own Molly Fallon in studio, showcasing her beautiful artwork all weekend long.
✨ Friendly Reminder ✨
With street closures and limited parking in the neighborhood, please allow extra time to get to class. Our studio policies still apply: clients arriving more than 5 minutes late will not be admitted to class, and our 12-hour cancellation policy remains in effect for all group classes.
We can’t wait to celebrate a weekend of Pilates, art, and community with you. 🤍
