Building alignment isn’t just physical.

Welcome to The Pilates Filter. A blog, a practice, and an evolving lifestyle brand shaped by the mindset of Pilates: balance, core strength, presence, humor, and mindful control.

The idea behind The Pilates Filter is simple: Pilates isn’t just something you do, it’s something you apply. This space explores movement, teaching, and everyday life through Pilates principles like alignment, control, and intentional progress.

This is a space for movement and learning layered into real life—between workdays, kids’ schedules, and teaching. I share what I’m learning as a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor navigating practice, cueing, anatomy, and the realities of teaching while still very much being in it.

If you’re going through Pilates teacher training, considering it, or simply want to understand Pilates more deeply in your own body, you’ll find practical perspective here. Being new to teaching can feel messy . . . missed cues, forgotten anatomy terms, the occasional made-up word -but that’s part of the process.
