Lesson 5 ➡️ Lesson 35 ✨
Same person. Same side view. A whole lot more lift, length and ease.
At Lesson 5, his posture shows a forward shift through the pelvis, with the upper body sitting slightly behind it and the head carried forward.
By Lesson 35, you can see a much clearer sense of upright alignment and support. His pelvis sits more underneath his torso, his rib cage is better stacked over his hips, his shoulders look more relaxed, and his head sits more naturally over his body.
The result? A stronger, more connected vertical line from his feet all the way through the top of his head. 🙌
This is one of my favorite things about Classical Pilates. We’re not simply telling someone to “stand up straight.” We’re teaching the body how to find support, lift and two-way stretch so better posture can develop naturally over time.
Thirty lessons apart, and the change is about more than how he looks. It’s about how he carries himself — and how he feels in his body.
👏 Lesson 5 vs. Lesson 35

Two clients. Both 5'8". Same exercise.
In this photo, one client’s head can comfortably reach the back of the Baby Chair, while the other client’s does not. It isn’t because one is doing it “right” and the other is doing it “wrong.” Their body proportions are simply different.
Height only tells part of the story. Torso length, leg length, arm length, mobility, strength, and individual structure all affect how an exercise looks.
That’s why Pilates is not about making every body look exactly the same. The goal is to understand the exercise, find the intention of the movement, and help each person work well within their own body.
Same method. Different bodies. Different proportions.
And that’s one of the reasons personalized instruction matters so much. 💗

✨ Saturday morning Pilates a great way to start the weekend. ✨

Pilates is serious work… but that doesn’t mean we have to be serious about it all the time. 😄💙
At TruForm Pilates, you’ll find plenty of springs, straps, shaking legs, “just one more,” and that moment when an exercise suddenly clicks. ✨
Classical Pilates is challenging, precise, and incredibly effective — but it can also be FUN. 🙌
Come move, learn, laugh a little, and discover just how much your body is capable of.

💪 Strength + control

✨ **A rare September opening with Gretchen!** ✨
Due to a client vacation, I have a temporary opening in my private schedule for **up to 3 sessions per week during September**. 💙
If you’ve been wanting to start Pilates with me, this is a great opportunity to spend a few weeks learning the Classical Pilates system through personalized private sessions. From there, you can transition into **small-group classes** or continue your practice with one of our other instructors. 🙌
My regular private schedule is currently full, so openings like this don’t come up very often. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to get started, **this is it!** ✨
📩 Reach out to learn more.

Private Pilates or Small Group Classes… which one is right for you? 🤔✨
💙 Private Sessions are perfect when you want personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to your goals, experience, and individual needs.
They’re especially helpful if you’re new to Pilates, working with limitations, or want extra guidance and attention.
👯♀️ Small Group Classes give you the fun energy of moving with others while still keeping things personal.
With only four clients per class, you’ll have more space, more support, and plenty of individualized attention.
And here’s the best part… you don’t have to choose just one! 🎉
Our combination packages let you enjoy the focused attention of Private Sessions along with the consistency, community, and value of Small Group Classes. It’s a great way to get the best of both worlds! 🙌
Not sure where to start? Send us a message and we’ll help you find the option—or combination—that fits your goals and schedule. 💫
