The Pilates Center

06/05/2026

Over the years, one of the greatest joys has been watching our Licensed Teacher Trainers and Host Advisors share The Pilates Center’s work in their own communities around the world.

At this year’s France Immersion, many of them will be coming together to teach classes, lead discussions, and continue learning alongside one another. It’s a reminder that while we may be spread across different countries and studios, we’re all connected through a shared commitment to the Pilates Method.

Throughout the week, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from Susanne Staehr, Maya Khairallah, Jeanique Lascar, Erika Cattell, Debby Orlando, Nina Paavola, Lorna Magee, Elaine Turner, Jackie Zarcone, Karol Schmidt, and Jessy Babin through a variety of Mat, Reformer, Chair, and Tower classes, as well as special discussions on teaching and studio ownership.

Seeing members of our teaching community gather in one place is always special. We can’t wait to learn alongside them in Fontainebleau.

Many of these classes and talks are available on Zoom. Visit the link in bio for the full schedule and registration details.

One of the reasons Amy and Rachel have been able to teach for so long is that they’ve always had a clear mission.

The Pilates Center’s mission is to heal the world by empowering people to transform their health and Return to Life.

That mission has helped them stay focused on the bigger picture while continuing to deepen their understanding of the work they learned from Romana. Rather than getting pulled in every direction, they’ve continued asking how the Pilates Method can best serve the person in front of them.

Footwork may look like Footwork. The Hundred may look like The Hundred. But the goal has never been to simply teach exercises. The goal is to help people move toward better health and a fuller life.

When teachers understand that larger purpose, they can teach with confidence because they know where the work is leading.

If you feel connected to that mission, this is your sign. Whether you’re interested in becoming a Pilates teacher or want to be part of our Boulder community, we’d love to welcome you.

Everyone has an opinion about what Pilates should be.
Amy just teaches the work.

And the people in her class know exactly why they’re there. More understanding of the body. Movement that carries over into real life. A Thursday they actually look forward to.

This is classical Pilates the way it was meant to be taught. Rooted, intentional, and built to last.

If you’re in Boulder and you’ve been curious about what a classical Pilates class actually feels like, come find out in person.

A low back injury brought Kara to Pilates 25 years ago.
She’s still here.

“TPC is an essential part of my life.” — Kara

That’s what classical Pilates does when it’s taught well. It doesn’t just help you recover. It gives you something worth coming back to.

Every teacher brings something different. Every class challenges you in a new way. And somehow, after 25 years, it still doesn’t get old.

If you’ve been curious about Pilates, or you’ve tried it somewhere else and it didn’t stick, this is your sign to come see what we do at The Pilates Center in Boulder, CO.

Some of the most exciting discoveries in Pilates come from looking back.

This clip shows Kaile teaching the Prone Arm Press from our Archival Chair material. Sometimes a small variation or a different emphasis can open the door to a whole new understanding of an exercise and the method as a whole.

We’ve missed our Archival Lecture Series this year, which makes us especially excited to bring a taste of this work to our France Immersion in Fontainebleau.

At the France Immersion, Kaile’s Archival Chair Workshop on Thursday, July 23, and Kelli’s Archival Tower Workshop on Friday, July 24, will share a small selection of exercises drawn from our archival studies, offering an opportunity to explore subtle details, fresh perspectives, and a deeper understanding of the work. Both workshops are sold out in person, and Zoom is now the only way to attend.

Even if you can’t make it to Fontainebleau, you can still be part of the experience live on Zoom and revisit the material for 30 days afterward. If you’d like to explore this archival work with us, we’d love to have you join us.

You can feel the difference when a studio has history.

Not because the space is perfect, but because people have built real relationships inside of it over time. Clients growing alongside teachers. Familiar conversations before class. People continuing to return to the same work, together.

That’s a big part of what The Pilates Center has always been about for us. A place where movement, learning, and community continue to deepen over the years.

If you’ve been looking for a Pilates studio in Boulder that feels welcoming, thoughtful, and grounded in the original method, we’d love to have you join us.

Classes are available in studio and on Zoom. Sign up through Momence or our website.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Pilates is that repetition makes the work boring.

In reality, repetition is often where the real learning begins.
You start to notice what you missed the first time. You respond to cues differently. Your body organizes itself in a new way. An exercise that once felt impossible suddenly starts to make sense.

That is part of what makes the Classical method so deep. The exercises stay the same, but your experience of them keeps evolving.

People do not return to this work for decades because they have mastered it. They return because there is always more to understand.

Join us in Boulder or on Zoom to experience the work for yourself.

Today we pause to honor and remember those who served and sacrificed for our country.

The studio is closed for Memorial Day as we take time to reflect with gratitude for the courage, service, and lives given in support of others.

We look forward to moving with you again tomorrow. 🇺🇸

Three reps. Watch what happens.

Kelli is teaching Rowings on the Reformer, and this is exactly why repetition in the Classical method matters. Each rep, she cues the hips back, the chest open, the arms pressing through, and by the third pass, something shifts. The body starts to understand something it did not feel on the first try.
This is the work.

Kelli Burkhalter Hutchins will be teaching at our TPC Immersion in Fontainebleau, France, July 22–26 at Bliss Pilates. We’d love to have you join us in France or on Zoom.

There are still a few in-person workshop spaces available, and all participants receive access to the recordings afterward.
