🏔️ Pilates Beyond the Studio | Meet Lauri

For Lauri Ann Stricker, Pilates has never been just about what happens inside the studio.

Lauri is the owner of Evergreen Pilates and the author of Pilates for the Outdoor Athlete — a book inspired by the connection between Pilates and the strength, balance, mobility and body awareness needed to pursue the adventures we love.

And Lauri lives it. ❤️

From climbing and hiking to simply moving confidently through the mountains, her love of the outdoors has shaped the way she approaches Pilates: train the body so it can support the life you want to live.

Pilates for the Outdoor Athlete brings Pilates principles beyond the reformer, exploring how a strong, connected body can support outdoor pursuits and help athletes move with greater efficiency and control.

After 20 years of Evergreen Pilates, Lauri continues to remind us that Pilates isn’t necessarily the destination — sometimes it’s what allows us to keep doing all the things we love outside the studio. 🌲✨

And yes… that’s Lauri herself climbing on the cover. 💪🧗‍♀️

✨ Grace in Motion ✨

Strength isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s found in the quiet moments—the reach, the breath, the intention behind every movement. 🌿

Lauri reminds us that Pilates is about so much more than exercise. It’s about building strength from the inside out, moving with purpose, and creating a deeper connection between mind and body. 🩵

Whether you’re just beginning your Pilates journey or have been practicing for years, every class is an opportunity to feel stronger, more balanced, and more at home in your body. We’d love to move with you. 💙

✨ Honoring an Extraordinary Woman ✨

Some people leave a lasting impact not only through their accomplishments, but through the kindness, grace, and strength they bring into every room they enter. 🩵

Today, we’re honored to celebrate our incredible client, Marilyn Van Derbur Atler—Miss America 1958, renowned motivational speaker, advocate, and one of The Denver Post’s 150 Most Notable People in Colorado History.

Marilyn continues to inspire us with her resilience, elegance, and commitment to living a vibrant, healthy life. It’s been a true privilege to have both Marilyn and her daughter, Jenn, as part of the Evergreen Pilates family. Watching them prioritize movement, wellness, and time together is a beautiful reminder that strength is something we can nurture everyday. 🌿

Thank you, Marilyn, for inspiring generations with your courage and for inspiring us every time you walk through our doors. We are so grateful to be part of your wellness journey. 🩵

🩵Thursday Instructor Spotlight: Meet Taylor Rockoff! 🩵

This week we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing instructors, Taylor! ✨

💬 “I love Pilates because it makes me feel stronger, more flexible, and more connected to the present moment.”

For Taylor, Pilates is so much more than exercise—it’s about the connection between body and breath, building strength from the inside out, and always staying curious. 🌿 She loves that there’s always a new exercise (or a new way to challenge a familiar one), making every class an opportunity to learn and grow.

🤍 One of the things Taylor loves most is that Pilates truly meets you wherever you are in life. She practiced throughout pregnancy, found it invaluable for rebuilding core strength afterward, and loves knowing it’s something she’ll continue for years to come. She’s inspired every day by clients who make movement a lifelong practice. 💪

And perhaps most importantly… she believes movement should be fun! 😊 Taking time to care for your body should leave you feeling stronger, happier, and energized.

When she’s not teaching at Evergreen Pilates, Taylor is a full-time mom to two wonderful boys. 💙💙 You’ll usually find them outside exploring Colorado—hiking 🥾, biking 🚴, swimming 🌊, skiing ⛷️, or simply enjoying time together in nature.

We’re so grateful to have Taylor as part of the Evergreen Pilates family! If you’ve taken one of her classes, we’d love to hear what you enjoy most about learning from her. 👇🩵
