First time taking a group class and I couldn’t have asked for a better group or instructor.

Carolina provides an excellent class session and watches us all carefully. She provides continual individual feedback to help us get the most out of our hour.

I always feel safe and am becoming more aware of my body.

Carolina is exceptionally gifted and insightful! She is like a detective-gathering information and decoding your body’s signals to get to the root of what is really going on! Such a fascinating process-I am grateful to have found her!

Carolina is a great mix of strong and patient. She provides great insight into how my brain and body work together.

MindBody Pilates is therapy that makes sense. Carolina is very knowledgeable and interactive. She focuses on the micro aspects to achieve the macro outcome. The environment is calming and comfortable. I am full of hopeful expectation and am confident that I am in very capable hands.

My chronic knee and hip pain are gone gone gone. Low level dizziness, gone! I feel like shouting this from the rooftops. If anyone is seriously looking at body healing, aging with upward momentum, and feeling generally better than they have in years, getting evaluated by BMP will affordably get the ball rolling for truly integrated healing and body conditioning. BMP’s understanding about body biomechanics and neurology feels light years ahead of practitioners I have experienced prior to now. The science behind their work is sophisticated yet simple in the way different systems communicate within our bodies. If deciding where to put your money in body care and improvement, hands down, this is the place to go! Plus, the staff are delightful, positive, and highly informed in ways that allow them to look carefully at your unique issues and zero in. I am humbled by their capacity to help people and honored to be one of their clients. Grand Rapids is very fortunate to have this community asset thanks to founder, Carolina, and the big idea she brought to our community 16 years ago! Thank you!!

Sometimes I just feel “off”. My body tenses up and it doesn’t function at it’s best. Pilates is a wonderful way for me to strengthen core, remind my joints and muscle to flex and perform full range, and notice my breath. Grateful to have this weekly class to support my overall health.

This is a very special studio with gifted teachers and a wonderful environment for practicing Pilates. I’ve been lucky enough to take classes at many studios around the country, and this one is at the top of my list.

I moved to Grand Rapids three years ago and started working with Carolina and her teachers. I’ve had hip pain, which is now gone, and I feel stronger, taller, and more balanced than ever. For me, BodyMind Pilates is a part of my life.

I have been a client of BodyMind Pilates since May 2011. I have experienced multiple health benefits and feel so much better since I started. I lost the 20 extra pounds I didn’t need and my body mass index dropped several points to within the normal range.

My flexibility, balance and focus are all greatly improved. Best yet, it is the first workout I enjoy doing, so I actually do it at least three times each week, which is my goal.

When I started at Body Mind Pilates, I knew nothing about pilates. I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable, caring, and to be great teachers. I would strongly recommend Body Mind Pilates to anyone who wants to look and feel better.

I decided to seek help strengthening my core in preparation for recovery from hip replacement surgery. I wanted to try Pilates based on the good results that my wife, Dana, was seeing from working with Carolina.

All total, I figure I have about 45 years of wear and tear from sport and athletics as I am an avid cyclist, paddler, and skier. I have remained a regular client of BodyMind Pilates for over 6 years. As is typical for a red-blooded American male, I aggressively pursued all form of exercise: running, yoga, Pilates, weights, cardio, spinning, body pump, etc. under the false premise that more is better, and no pain equals no gain. This has inevitably resulted in burnout or injury, often both.

The good people at BodyMind pay attention to each client they are helping. Although they encourage clients to advance to the next level, they will not allow them to push an exercise or movement to the point of negative results or injury. I dare say this is one of the biggest challenges for the staff at BodyMind Pilates; not only in my case, but I have observed the tendency in other clients as well to push beyond a healthy point because we falsely believe “no pain, no gain.”

I am very grateful for the staff at BodyMind Pilates. They have enabled me to enjoy a long-term practice of exercise that strengthens without injury. I trust them as partners in an effort to optimize my health objectives. They have demonstrated to me that they are highly capable and most importantly care.
