Pilates and Balance with Ali Lodise

Saturday, March 14, 2026

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Cost: $65

Join Senior Pilates Instructor and Doctor of Physical Therapy, Ali Lodise for a 3-hour workshop about the balance and Pilates. What do we mean when we say “balance?” The three main systems that contribute to balance are the visual system, vestibular system and proprioceptive system. In this workshop, participants will learn about these systems and how to address balance in Pilates sessions. The workshop will begin with a group mat Pilates class followed by an interactive lecture and small group circuits on the Pilates equipment. Reach out to Ali at akl87@drexel.edu to discuss questions or concerns.

This workshop is primarily geared toward instructors who want a deeper understanding of how developing balance contributes to a client’s overall Pilates practice. However, Pilates practitioners are also very welcome if they are interested in learning more about balance and how it integrates into their own movement practice.

All participants should have prior experience with both Pilates mat and equipment, and feel comfortable exploring balance work in a group setting.

New class at Drexel Pilates!

Pilates for Bone Density
Mondays, 1:30-2:20 PM with Kalila

This class focuses on weight bearing Pilates exercises and champions spring resistance on the tower, reformer, and chair to healthily load your bones. We will practice engaging the center in a neutral spine, limit end-range spinal flexion, and focus on strengthening the spinal extensors and the lateral stabilizers that support balance. This class is designed particularly to practice safe Pilates for people with bone density concerns such as osteoporosis and osteopenia. All clients are welcome.

*The exercises in this class have been carefully selected based on peer reviewed studies about the impact of Pilates on Bone Mineral Density and eliminates exercises that are contra-indicated for people with osteoporosis and osteopenia.
