The Studio
Curated Pilates + Movement is a boutique Pilates studio offering small group classes and private sessions on all Pilates apparatus. Pilates is a method of exercises that focuses on balance in the body by working the core and periphery, strength and flexibility and stability and mobility in all exercises. As a type of fitness it is accessible throughout many phases of life and adaptable to provide an appropriate challenge for each individual. Pilates as a method is more than exercises, it is also a mind-body practice that can heal, a way to learn self-awareness that can alter ones approach to the body and movement.
The studio was created to be a safe space for all to delve deeper into the Pilates method. Whether taking group classes or private sessions the experience is a tailored one designed to meet you where you are at the moment and help you move towards your goals. The mission of Curated Pilates & Movement is to help each client develop a better awareness of their own body, so that they can feel ownership over their health and wellbeing allowing them to gain strength, energy, and resilience to pursue their passions in life.
All of the Pilates apparatus at Curated Pilates + Movement is by Basi Systems. We chose Basi for their commitment to being on the cutting edge of knowledge and science while remaining true to the origins of Pilates. Their equipment is hand-crafted using state of the art engineering and with environmentally friendly materials. They have designed the equipment to allow for greater adjustability, making it accessible to more bodies and allowing for greater customization of each individuals’ experience. They have also thought about the function of each piece with the repertoire of exercises that will be performed, working with instructors across the world to find the best function possible. They have done all of this while creating a beautiful modern aesthetic that is a pleasure to work with and look at.
THe Owner
Kaarin, spent years practicing pilates, becoming a certified instructor, and teaching Pilates out of a physical therapy clinic before branching out to start her own studio. Her goal is to create a space that focuses on developing the relationship between the teacher and client and the client and their own body through the Pilates practice. Her approach to teaching whether one-on-one or in small groups is to curated the experience to each individual and where they are on that day. She brings the method to serve the human in front of her rather than expecting the person to fit into the method.
Kaarin is passionate about the benefits that Pilates can bring to all people, but especially women. Pilates’ attention to both the pelvic floor and transverse and the posture muscles of the mid and upper back are very important to supporting women through the seasons of life. Pilates can often be used safely right up to the end of pregnancy and is an ideal form of exercise return to in the early postpartum period. As a form of resistance and body weight training it is also safe and effective for keeping and regaining bone density later in life, making it an excellent part of an osteoporosis fitness routine.
Kaarin’s love for Pilates comes out of a life long relationship to movement. She began ballet early in childhood and followed that path to dance professionally in several companies in the US and Russia. Through ballet Kaarin was exposed to Pilates, first as a young student and later as a way to rehab from a foot injury. Early in her dance career she dove into Pilates while side-lined by an injury and found that the method uncovered weaknesses she did not know she had. Pilates allowed her to become a stronger and better dancer and the seed was planted for her to return to it as a career.
