Move Moments: 🧠💭

Today I set everything up to film with my new pregnancy wedge
 and on the very first push of the carriage, something felt off.

Not my body. Not the wedge.
A single thick piece of lint on the rollers. 🙃

It sounds dramatic, but this is Pilates in real life: the art of noticing. Paying attention before you “push through.” Understanding your body and the equipment you’re moving on.

Because being a seasoned mover isn’t just about strength—it’s about awareness. It’s the protect + prevent mindset. It’s safety. It’s catching the tiny things before they become big things.

Your body is always talking. Pilates teaches you how to listen. 💛

By teaching what’s true, cueing what’s needed, and meeting real bodies with real knowledge.

Our instructors don’t stop learning—we grow with mentors and movement professionals far beyond our walls, then bring that wisdom back to our community.

Cedar Valley deserves depth. And you deserve support. đŸ€

Los Angeles was a reminder that growth happens when you stay curious.

I had the privilege of learning in person—moving, listening, and being in the room with educators who continue to shape this industry. From Andrea Speir’s Pilates mat fusion class, to empowered pregnancy with Clarissa Shepherd , deep dives with Maria Leone and mat fusion with Tracey Mallett —each session added a new layer to how I think about movement, cueing, and connection.

Beyond the classes, the conversations mattered just as much.
Business panels. Pro sessions. Talking shop with brands who truly live their values—like whose approach to props and intentional design is exactly what we use on our mats and throughout the studio every day.

One of the most meaningful moments was talking 1:1 with Ken Endelman from about all things education, longevity in this work, and what sustainable Pilates looks like in smaller Midwest communities like ours. Those conversations are the ones that shape the future.

And finally, getting to connect face-to-face with so many people I’ve admired for so long, like Pilates by Leah and Nicky from Fuerza Pilates —was a reminder that this industry is built on people, not trends.

Connecting with friends across the country .minutes đŸ«¶đŸ» love you girl, all thanks to ! Amelia from socials was incredible this weekend.

Building something sustainable, thoughtful, and deeply human—right here at home.

This is what it’s all about.
laughing. moving. being human.

No performance.
No perfection.
Just presence, shared moments, and the kind of movement that feels good in your body and your soul.

This is why we do it — together. ✹

No pressure. Just presence. đŸ€

I’ve been a little quiet lately đŸ€
Not because the vision paused—but because my body asked me to slow down.

Today is a gentle return. One thing at a time.

And here’s what’s coming ✹
In one week, Erika, Morgan, and I are heading to Huntington Beach for the Pilates Journal Expo—learning from the absolute best in the world and pouring back into this space with fresh knowledge, inspiration, and intention.

Just two days after we return, I’ll be speaking at THRIVE—and if you’re not signed up yet, consider this your sign. The MOVE Method officially drops live on January 17 at THRIVE đŸ€

Because I’ll be out for continuing education (and I know you’ve missed me), we’re keeping the mats warm while we’re gone:
✹ Move with Mandy
‱ Monday 1/12 @ 7:05 AM
‱ Tuesday 1/13 @ 5:15 PM
Rooted: Motion
Now on the schedule for booking!

Thank you for your patience, your presence, and for moving with us through every season—quiet ones included.
So much good is coming. đŸ«¶

No pressure. Just presence.

A renovated studio.
13+ women-owned business collaborations.
6 Pilates on the Plaza events.
3 states traveled.
499 of you who chose to show up — on the mat and in your lives.

This year reminded me that movement is bigger than exercise.
It’s connection.
It’s presence.
It’s people choosing themselves, together.

Thank you to this community — the ones who walk through the doors, support one another, trust the process, and make this space feel like home.
You are the reason this is our favorite place to do Pilates. đŸ€

In 2026, we expand.
You’ll meet The MOVE Method.
And we’ll continue to collaborate, move, and grow — together.

No pressure. Just presence. ✹
