Finding Your Core Values Through Personal Growth

Caring for your physical body through Pilates is essential for giving you the stamina and creative energy you need to grow and expand in any direction you choose.

At Studio Evolve, a leading Pilates studio in Seattle, we believe that you have the right to center your own personal growth in your life - and that caring for your physical body gives you the stamina and creative energy you need to grow and expand in any direction you choose.

We know that sometimes it seems like your boss, your clients, your partner, your parents, and your kids are conspiring to pack your calendar so full with meetings, soccer games, and trips to the DMV that you don’t have time for self-care.

But often, your thoughts about what we SHOULD or NEED TO do with your time are dictated by the stories our culture tells you about being a good parent, leader, employee or business owner, and contributing member of society.

Stories that you must always say “yes” to the people around you, to the detriment of your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

We love supporting our clients as they say “no” to these toxic messages about time and reclaim their time-sovereignty.

Like Becky, who joined our high-touch Accelerator program ten months after becoming a first-time mom.

“I wasn’t sure how I’d be able to take the time away from my family to get in three Pilates sessions a week, but I just told my husband I was going to do it and it was so much easier than I expected! As it turned out, they were fine without me!!” says Becky.

And with the support of the Studio Evolve team, Becky used her Pilates practice to get back in touch with own sense of purpose.

“I’ve reclaimed my time, and reconnected with myself as a WHOLE PERSON - not just as a mom, a manager, or a wife,” says Becky.

Because the truth is, you MUST resource yourself well if you want to show up 100% to your own life and live your mission.

Self-care is the fuel, not the reward.

P.S. If you are ready to reclaim your own time and make space in your life to grow your strength, energy, and confidence, there are two ways to get started.

  1. The 2 Private Session Intro Offer: Over the course of two sixty-minute sessions, you’ll get the undivided attention of one of our functional movement experts, who will help you develop a consistent Pilates practice that works for your LIFE and will help you meet your goals.

  2. The Accelerator: If you are in a moment of transition in your life and are looking for a high level of self-care support so that you can build healthy habits, reduce pain and feel more vibrant in record time, click here to learn more.
