MindBody has been teaching Authentic Pilates in Baltimore since 2000. It’s been part of who we are since the beginning, and now it’s the center of everything we do.
Authentic, or Classical, Pilates follows the original method developed by Joseph Pilates: a full sequence of precise, controlled movement built on breath, core strength, and a seamless flow from one exercise to the next. It’s not a stretch class or a workout trend. It’s a discipline, and we teach it the way it was designed to be taught.
Our studio is built around one-on-one and small-group instruction on professional Gratz equipment, including our Reformers, Tower, Barrel, and Wunda Chair. Every client starts with our Fundamentals program so the foundation is right before the work builds.
We still offer Wellness classes and Massage for clients who need it. Physical Therapy is offered on a very limited basis.
Pilates is our practice. We hope that you will give us a try.
One Client, One Instructor
Every private session is built around you. Our instructors work with you directly to develop your practice, grounded in authentic pilates. Classes are small with personalized instruction.
Instructors Trained in the Method
Our instructors bring hundreds of hours of training in Authentic Pilates, including Romana’s lineage instruction. That depth of training is what our clients feel in every session.
A Sequence, Not a Series of Moves
Classical Pilates builds intelligently: foundational work first, more complexity as strength and control develop. We keep that sequence intact, because it’s what makes the method work.
"Pilates" has become a catchall name, often attached to workouts that borrow a few exercises and little else. Classical, or Authentic, Pilates is the original method Joseph Pilates designed: a full, precise sequence built on breath, control, and a seamless flow from one movement to the next. It's a discipline, not a trend, and we teach it exactly as it was designed
We train on Gratz apparatus, the original Pilates equipment maker, built to Joseph Pilates' exact specifications since the 1960s. Precision equipment supports a precise practice
Transform your movement working together with our experienced instructors. We have decades of experience and Hhndreds of hours of training and teaching. Movement done well, and done consistently, is what keeps you strong
No crowded rooms with worn equipment and instructors trained just enough to lead a class. We keep it small: one-on-ones, duets, and private sessions built for consistency in your practice.
