Smart Body boasts the area's finest, professionally certified instructors who will motivate you to achieve your best work and results in the Pilates method.Our environment is friendly, energetic, supportive and highly educational. Our clients often comment on the camaraderie and positive relationships that develop between fellow students and instructors.

The mission of BASI Pilates is to create and maintain professional standards for the teaching of the method and to preserve and perpetuate the gift of Pilates by educating teachers of the highest caliber. Unlike other, all-in-one Pilates enterprises, the sole purpose of BASI Pilates is to educate Pilates instructors and maintain that education on the cutting edge of the discipline for the duration of their careers.

Our yoga and Pilates mat classes are unique in that they are limited to 5 people max. You will receive more individual attention in your class and learn more about technique from your instructor. Classes must be registered for ahead of time. Drop-ins are only allowed when space is available. We request you call ahead to see if a class has space for you to drop-in.

At five months post-op I am almost fully healed and doing remarkably well (full healing occurs at six months post-op). I began rehab on my own in the Pilates studio to regain the strength and flexibility lost from the invasive nature of having a total hip replacement / resurface procedure. I am convinced the specific nature and detailed precision of our Pilates movements got me on track as fast as Dr. Gross would allow.
