Pilates For Every Body

Pilates for Every Body is a welcoming, beginner-friendly mat class designed to help adults build strength, improve mobility, and develop greater body awareness through mindful movement. Whether you're new to Pilates, returning to exercise after a break, a dancer looking for cross-training, or simply seeking a low-impact way to move, this class offers a supportive and accessible environment.

Led by professional dancer and movement educator Heather Meeboer, each class focuses on core strength, alignment, flexibility, balance, and full-body control. Participants will be guided through foundational Pilates exercises with modifications and progressions to accommodate a variety of experience levels, abilities, and movement backgrounds.

You'll leave feeling stronger, more connected to your body, and equipped with tools to support healthy movement in everyday life.

No prior Pilates experience is required. Please bring a yoga or exercise mat, comfortable clothing you can move in, and a water bottle. If you have any injuries, mobility concerns, or accessibility needs, modifications can be provided to help you participate comfortably.

About The Instructor: Introduced to Pilates as a teenager in her hometown of Atlanta, Heather Meeboer quickly discovered it was the perfect complement to her classical dance training. She later expanded her movement education by becoming a certified ActivCore practitioner on the Redcord apparatus and now leads private neuromuscular re-education sessions at Redcord Austin.

A professional dancer with the Austin-based ballet company Metamorphosis Dance and a regular performer with Dance Waterloo, Heather credits Pilates and Redcord with helping her maintain strength, resilience, and longevity throughout her performing career.
