Before Pilates went viral, a pioneering innovator quietly shaped the equipment we still use today...

Among these pioneers was Jean-Claude West. Fascinated by the complexities of motor control, he began designing equipment in the 1980s to help dancers recover from injury and refine movement patterns. His innovations would go on to influence both dance medicine and Pilates rehabilitation for decades to come.

To learn more about these early innovations and the story behind them, Pilates educator and author Elizabeth Larkam shares her firsthand account of meeting Jean-Claude West and witnessing his groundbreaking work.

Your feet are the first thing that comes in contact with the floor! If proper stress transfer & mobility aren’t available, ankle, knee, hip & back muscles aren’t working balanced.
Come find out what good foot alignment, mobility, & strength look like & how to achieve it. Walk away with yoga toes & toe socks to help you get started!

The Pilates shakes were SO real during MG’s class lunge series! 🔥
What do the Pilates shakes mean? It’s your muscles and nervous system working together to build strength, stability, and endurance.
