Studio Pilates General Information

Beth operates her RiderPilates private sessions out of her house in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle, WA.

Through Pilates at Beth’s studio you will learn to move and exercise in a mindful and healthy way. Beth applies her medical knowledge to assure a safe but challenging workout. Her past injuries and experience with rehab make her careful and sympathetic to each client’s needs.


Private Pilates Sessions

Private pilates sessions last 50 minutes and are tailored to your individuals needs and goals. Using the wide range of exercises available on the unique Pilates equipment and other props, Beth guides you through different movements and exercises to help you become aware of your posture and movement habits. You’ll enjoy improved core strength, flexibility, body awareness, balance, and suppleness of the shoulder girdle and hip joints.

For Beth, the workout is not just about building strength. It is also about using the body efficiently with mindfulness. Many clients comment that not only are their muscles worked, but their brain is “sore” as well!

Small Group Classes

Beth offers a small group class at Turning Pointe Dance Centre in Snohomish, WA. The class is on Tuesdays, from 10:00-11:30am.

Beth starts this 90 minute class with a mindful body scan meditation, and then gradually moves into exercises designed to improve postural awareness, core strength and balance.
Some exercises are based on the Pilates system, but many are adapted to be more relevant to riding and daily life. The class always ends with a series of stretches, and then another quite time for meditation.

All equipment is provided. Wear clothing suitable for moving — layers work well.

“Your class is always terrific, but I’m finding the consistently specific core reminders of great value. I like how you prepare us for each exercise in class. I don’t think I really do the exercises correctly without the ever-so-brief refresher each time.”

“One of my main trouble spots is keeping the ribcage pulled down toward the pelvis, and shoulders relaxed. I’m much more conscious of that now that you’re setting us up so carefully for the exercises.”
