❄️ Snow Day Policy ❄️

Your safety always comes first! Here’s how we handle winter weather:

• If school district 71 are closed, our studio will also be closed.

• If a teacher can’t safely make it in and we can’t arrange coverage, you’ll receive both an email and text notification — and we’ll also post updates on socials.

• If we’re open, our regular 12-hour cancellation + waitlist policies still apply.

Thank you for rolling with winter right along with us. Stay safe, warm, and cozy! 💙🧣

Teaching Styles – Finding Your Fit

Every instructor brings a unique energy and style to the Reformer.

Some focus on precision and control — guiding you through slow, intentional movement.

Others bring dynamic, athletic flows that challenge strength and endurance.

And some blend both — creating classes that balance challenge with calm.

Exploring different teaching styles helps you discover what motivates and supports you best.

Building Body Awareness

Reformer Pilates isn’t just about moving — it’s about feeling how you move.

Each exercise invites you to connect mind, breath, and body, teaching awareness that carries into daily life.

You’ll learn how to move more efficiently, reduce tension, and feel more balanced — on and off the Reformer.

💫 Think of it as training your body’s intelligence.

Pilates for Sports Recovery

Training hard is only half the equation — recovery is where the real progress happens. 💪

Pilates is a powerful tool for athletes because it helps your body restore, rebalance, and prevent injury after intense activity.

Here’s how Pilates supports recovery:

🏃 Improves mobility without overstretching — restoring healthy range of motion

🧠 Builds body awareness — so you move with better mechanics

💪 Strengthens stabilizers — especially hips, glutes, core & shoulders

🌬 Promotes mindful breath — reducing tension & improving recovery

🩹 Supports injury prevention & rehab

Instead of pushing harder, Pilates helps you move smarter — so you can return to your sport stronger, more balanced, and more resilient.

Perfect for runners, cyclists, skiers, team sport athletes & weekend warriors.

Your body works hard for you — give it the recovery it deserves. 🤍

Pilates & Hypermobility — Strength with Support

If you’re hypermobile, you might feel flexible — but not always strong or stable. Pilates can be an incredible support for hypermobility, because the focus isn’t just on stretching… it’s on control, strength, and nervous system regulation.

Here’s why Pilates helps:

🧠 Body awareness grows — you learn where your joints actually are in space.

💪 Deep stabilizing muscles strengthen — especially around hips, shoulders & spine.

🧘‍♀️ Movement becomes supported — less over-stretching, more controlled range.

🌿 Gentle pace + breath = calmer nervous system

Rather than pushing into your “end range,” Pilates teaches you to move within a safe, stable range so your joints feel supported — not stressed.

If you’re hypermobile, you are absolutely welcome here. With the right guidance, movement can feel strong, steady, and sustainable. 🤍

✨ Community Trade Opportunity ✨

We are looking for someone in our community who would love to offset the cost of their classes through a regular cleaning trade in the studio.

This is a great fit for someone who:

• already loves being in the space
• has attention to detail, enjoys keeping things fresh, calm, and beautiful
• wants to move more without adding another bill to their month

We’re picturing this as a simple, consistent exchange — a few hours of light cleaning each week in return for classes,

If this sounds like you, or someone you know in our community, please send us a DM or email info@alignedmovementstudios.com💫

We love creating ways for people to feel supported, connected, and rooted in this space.

Beating the Winter Blues with Reformer Pilates

Shorter days, colder weather, a little less motivation…

If the winter blues have crept in, you’re not alone. ❄️💛

One of the most powerful ways to support your mood in winter is gentle, consistent movement — and Reformer Pilates makes it feel easeful, supported, and grounding.

Here’s how it helps:

✨ Boosts endorphins — your natural mood-lifters

✨ Creates routine + structure — especially when the days blur together

✨ Encourages mindful breathing — calming your nervous system

✨ Builds strength without burnout — so you leave feeling lighter, not depleted

✨ Connects you with community — which is everything in winter

Think of your Reformer session as a reset button — a space to move, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

You don’t have to “push harder.”

Just show up — we’ll meet you where you are. 🤍

Client Appreciation ✨

Forgive us if we sound like a broken record… but we are over the moon for our clients 🤍
Your unwavering support means everything to us, and we wanted to find a small way to say thank you.

So, we’re excited to introduce our new rewards system—powered by points!

Here’s how it works:

• Every purchase—merchandise, class passes, or equipment—earns you points

• Refer a friend? Points for both of you

• Leave us a review? You guessed it—POINTS

Once you reach 100 points, you can redeem them for a FREE class 🎉

Our way of giving back to the community that gives us so much. Thank you for being here—we truly couldn’t do this without you 💫

January isn’t about reinventing yourself — it’s about reconnecting with what makes you feel strong, supported, and well. ✨

Lasting lifestyle changes don’t come from all-or-nothing goals. They come from small, consistent choices that honor your body and your life.

Here’s what actually creates sustainable change:

🌿 Start small. Choose habits you can repeat, not ones that drain your energy.

🌿 Build routines, not rules. Flexibility keeps momentum going when life gets busy.

🌿 Celebrate the little wins. Every class taken, every mindful moment, every breath that resets your nervous system matters.

🌿 Find community. Wellness grows deeper when you feel supported, encouraged, and connected.

This January, choose progress over perfection — and build habits that feel like you. 💛
