Rooted in the original Pilates method. Taught by certified instructors in small, attentive classes. This is where strength becomes graceful and movement becomes intentional.
Intro offer: Your first full month of unlimited group classes for $49.
Joseph Pilates developed his method around six foundational principles. Every class at Core Balance is built on all six.
Deliberate, full breathing oxygenates the body and drives movement. It is the engine behind every exercise.
Complete focus on each movement brings quality that no amount of repetition can replicate.
Every movement is executed with full muscular control. Nothing sloppy, nothing rushed, nothing wasted.
All movement flows from a stable, strong center. Pilates called it the powerhouse; we build it methodically.
Exercises move seamlessly from one to the next, creating elegance and efficiency in the body.
One precise repetition is worth ten careless ones. We cue the details that make the difference.
Whether you are brand new to Pilates or returning to deepen your practice, we have a class that fits.
Our most popular format. Six students maximum ensures every person gets real instructor attention. Spring resistance on the reformer supports and challenges the body simultaneously.
The original form. Mat work builds core strength and body awareness using only your own resistance. Humbling, effective, and accessible anywhere once you know the method.
Work with the tower unit, trapeze table, and wall unit for a full-body session with enormous variety. Excellent for those seeking rehabilitation support alongside their practice.
The fastest way to progress. Private sessions are fully tailored to your body, your goals, and your history. Highly recommended for beginners and those with injuries or specific needs.
Lead Instructor & Studio Founder
Sarah discovered classical Pilates after a decade as a professional dancer. What began as physical therapy became a calling. She trained under a second-generation Pilates elder, studying the work as Romana Kryzanowska taught it, which means as close to the original method as you can get.
She opened Core Balance in 2018 with one simple conviction: small classes taught with rigor and warmth transform bodies in ways that crowded studios never can.
I came in with chronic lower back pain that two years of physical therapy had barely touched. After three months of twice-weekly reformer classes, I am pain-free for the first time in years. The attention Sarah gives to form in a class of six people is remarkable.
I ran a marathon in October after training almost entirely through Pilates for cross-training. My running economy improved noticeably and I arrived at the start line without a single overuse injury. This is not a yoga studio for people who like to say they do Pilates. It is serious work.
Six months postpartum, I wanted to rebuild without forcing it. Sarah knew exactly how to modify every exercise and gradually progress the work as my body recovered. I am stronger now at 38 than I was at 28. The private sessions at the start were worth every penny.
