Discover the Joy of Pilates at Our February Life Inspired Event

At Rivercity Pilates, we believe in fostering a sense of community while promoting health and wellness. That’s why we host Life Inspired Events — free opportunities for community members to try a class they’ve been curious about. These events are our way of giving back to the community and introducing people to the empowering world of Pilates and movement. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or completely new to Pilates, our Life Inspired Events are designed to welcome everyone.

When is our next Life Inspired Free Session?

Mark your calendars! For our next Life Inspired Event, we’re offering an All-Levels Pilates Mat Class led by the talented Rachel Piper. This small group class is ideal for anyone looking to explore Pilates in a supportive, personalized setting.

  • Date: Thursday, February 8, 2025
  • Time: 11:00 AM
  • Location: Rivercity Pilates Studio, North Liberty, IA
  • Cost: Free!

 

Spaces are limited to just 5 participants, so you’ll receive individualized attention from Rachel, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. Small class sizes are a cornerstone of what we do at Rivercity Pilates because they allow our instructors to truly get to know you and help you work toward your wellness goals.

What to Expect in the Class

Rachel will guide you through a series of Pilates Mat exercises, offering modifications to suit your individual needs. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced mover, you’ll feel right at home in this welcoming environment. Pilates Mat classes focus on building core strength, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness. It’s a fun and effective way to move your body and feel empowered!

Can Bigger Bodies do Pilates?

Carey Sadler demonstrating a Pilates exercise at Rivercity Pilates

Have you ever watched somebody doing an exercise and thought, “My body would never do that!”

You are not the only one! I bet at least a couple times a day I give people a visual example of an exercise as a way for them to learn what we are going to do and they say, “I’m not sure I can do that!”.   My response is usually, “You might be surprised, let’s just try it and see what happens.” 

Guess what almost always happens? Yep, they do the exercise.   Why did their mind tell them they couldn’t do it?

My theory is that when they watched me do it they immediately thought…my body is way different from Carey’s and so I couldn’t possibly do that. 

What their mind didn’t know is that as their teacher I only give an exercise to a client if I am pretty darn sure they will be successful at it. 

Why am I telling you this?  I’m telling you this because so many people don’t start practicing Pilates because the only images they see of someone practicing Pilates are images of people with bodies that don’t really look like theirs. 

A LOT of people are missing out on finding a way to exercise and move their body that could absolutely change their life for the better because they prejudge their ability to do that exercise method!   Myself and all of our staff at Rivercity Pilates are very passionate about sharing Pilates with EVERY body and that leads to why I’ve told you all this!
