Why Instruction Style Matters

Choosing a Pilates studio isn’t just about the equipment—it’s about the style of teaching and how well it aligns with your body’s needs and goals:

  • Personalized Instruction: At Pilates in the Pines, sessions adapt as your body changes. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or training for performance, the instruction is completely custom—not templated.

  • Hands-on Corrections: Small or solo sessions mean you’re never overlooked. Misalignments are corrected in real time to prevent injury and maximize results.

  • Holistic Modalities: No other Lone Tree studio offers certified GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® instruction—highly specialized systems that complement Pilates and enhance spinal mobility, fascial health, and functional strength.

  • Nervous System Expertise: With a neuromuscular medicine background, Alana Norman of Pilates in the Pines brings unique expertise to help clients with chronic conditions, alignment issues, and rehabilitation goals.
