Maggie Patterson
Apprentice Pilates Instructor
Maggie was first drawn to Pilates through the reformer and the way it made movement feel both graceful and supportive. What started as curiosity quickly grew into a deeper appreciation for the connection between breath, strength, and intentional movement.
After becoming a mother, Maggie found herself wanting to reconnect with her body in a healthier and more sustainable way. Pilates and yoga helped her build strength, slow down, and feel more grounded both physically and mentally. She values the way Pilates challenges the body while also creating space for calm, focus, and confidence.
Maggie is currently working toward her Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Balanced Body and hopes to create an inclusive and empowering environment where clients can move confidently, feel supported, and leave class feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected to themselves.
Outside of the studio, Maggie enjoys listening to podcasts, trying new local restaurants, shopping small businesses and spending time with her family. She loves wellness routines that feel realistic, movement that leaves you feeling good instead of depleted, and any excuse to romanticize a morning walk or post-class matcha.
About Maggie
What do you feel is the most unique quality of Pilates as a mindful movement?
I love that Pilates teaches you how to actually connect with your body instead of just pushing through a workout. It teaches body awareness, control, breath, and balance in a way that carries into everyday life. Pilates feels both strengthening and grounding at the same time.
Currently, what is your favorite Pilates exercise on any apparatus?
My current favorite exercise is reformer footwork. It’s simple, grounding, and never gets old to me. I love how something so foundational can instantly connect you to your breath, alignment, and strength while still being challenging in different ways every time.
What excites you most about teaching Pilates?
What excites me most about teaching Pilates is helping people discover that movement can actually feel good. I love how Pilates meets people where they are, and I’m excited to create classes that feel supportive, empowering, and maybe even become the best part of someone’s day.
