Bend Pilates is an incredible place to practice and learn Pilates. The teachers are all excellent—my personal favorites are Jump with Heather, Reformer with Alexa, and Core Align with Caroline. The studio is spacious and has every piece of Pilates and strength training equipment you could ever ask for. Additionally, the people who practice here are delightful and range in ages and abilities; there is something for everyone and teachers are keyed into students’ various needs and injuries. I am so grateful to Deb for creating such a welcoming and knowledge driven practice space—it’s my Bend Pilates home.
