BodyMind Pilates

My chronic knee and hip pain are gone gone gone.  Low level dizziness, gone! I feel like shouting this from the rooftops.  If anyone is seriously looking at body healing, aging with upward momentum, and feeling generally better than they have in years, getting evaluated by BMP will affordably get the ball rolling for truly integrated healing and body conditioning.   BMP's understanding about body biomechanics and neurology feels light years ahead of practitioners I have experienced prior to now.  The science behind their work is sophisticated yet simple in the way different systems communicate within our bodies.  If deciding where to put your money in body care and improvement, hands down, this is the place to go!  Plus, the staff are delightful, positive, and highly informed in ways that allow them to look carefully at your unique issues and zero in.  I am humbled by their capacity to help people and honored to be one of their clients.  Grand Rapids is very fortunate to have this community asset thanks to founder, Carolina, and the big idea she brought to our community 16 years ago!  Thank you!!

I have taken Pilates classes from Carolina for a very long time. Sometimes stopping classes a year or more in the case of the pandemic, but I always go back. She is very knowlegable and works to create the right movements for each individual. I always get back in shape with her instructions.
I have taken classes with Hannah too and she is also a very good Pilates instructor. This is the best place for Pilates in West Michigan!

Sometimes I just feel "off".  My body tenses up and it doesn't function at it's best.  Pilates is a wonderful way for me to strengthen core, remind my joints and muscle to flex and perform full range, and notice my breath.  Grateful to have this weekly class to support my overall health.

Private instruction that was targeted to my needs was awesome.  I loved having Carolina's one-on-one input.

I think everything I've ever really learned and integrated about pilates and movement I've learned from here.  'Integrated' in the sense of understanding 'movement', with functional integrity, in everyday life, not just within the confines of an hour-long class, or lesson. I plan on coming here for a long time, to work with Hannah, Gretchen, or Carolina, the owner.  They work very collaboratively as a team, so I have 100% trust in all of them.

Small classes mean more individualized attention!  Carolina, Hanna and Gretchen are all great!  They check your exercise form to ensure that the right muscles are being strengthened and overused muscles or problem areas are protected.  I've been with BodyMind Pilates for almost 2 years now and I love it!

Hannah is very knowledgeable and a joy to work with!

Great team! Carolina know body, brain and menth very well  and know how help me with my pain and my whole body to  keep healthy
Thank  you

Gretchen gave a great private session. Lots of body awareness information and a good workout.

I have been going to Bodymind Pilates for a few years. Both Carolina and Hannah really know the body well and know how to help their clients. Through the pandemic they soldiered on to meet their clients needs by switching to Zoom classes. They have been effective with those classes. They pay close attention to how their clients are feeling health wise and know ways that will benefit your movement. They are attentive to how you are moving when you participate in class and offer modifications to suit different abilities. They are diligent about correcting you when you are not moving correctly so you don't get injured. I worked one on one with Carolina for some time and she really helped me with lower back issues and corrected the way I walked and stood to help with my that too. I recommend her and Hannah highly.
