At the end of 2024, I renamed our online membership to Alignment Studio (formerly Pilates Tonic Online).

Why the change?

The membership goes way beyond Pilates. 

It’s all about helping you incrementally, methodically, and safely rebuild flexibility and strength through alignment-based restorative exercise so you can keep doing all the activities you love. While I incorporate some Pilates principles, my approach extends well beyond traditional methods.

That said, Alignment Studio will also enhance your Pilates practice!

Right before the name change became official, I chatted with Nickie, a longtime member. Her story highlights the transformative power of alignment-based movement.

Nickie used to have neck and back pain, but not anymore!

Now in her sixties, she feels stronger and is more active than ever.

She attributes these positive side effects to learning about her alignment and moving more during her long workdays.

During our recent conversation, Nickie shared several insights:

• How she sneaks in stretches and alignment awareness during her busy workday
  
• Her surprise at how good adjusting her alignment feels—even when she’s doing the dishes!
  
• Why she feels set up for strength and flexibility success as she gets older
  
• How online classes made all the difference in helping her create a sustainable movement practice
  
• Her development of a “nerd-like” focus on proper form and alignment, which she also applies to other types of exercise.

Just because you get older or have pain in your body, it doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying your life and doing the activities you love.

Feeling better is more than a possibility; it can be a reality!
