A highly respected instructor and educator in the field, Cara teaches continuing education workshops nationally and is on the faculty at Naropa University teaching dance and movement studies.

Classy Classical Pilates

The women at Pilates Aligned are the very best. I recommend them over any other studio I've attended for their professionalism, compassion, and spirit. I have noticed they are also expert at working with injured clients.

I'm hooked on Pilates Aligned
by Danee78
Pilates Aligned has experienced, enthusiastic instructors who give you lots of personal attention and really care about the progress of their students. Class sizes rarely get bigger than 5 students. The studio is fully equipped with all the Pilates equipment, which is kept nice and clean. I love this place and go three times a week.

Conscientious, compassionate classical Pilates
by janewisnieski
I cannot laud Pilates Aligned enough. After decades of athletics, including a "Pilates-based" program, at 46 I was disabled by the 1st of 2 auto accidents. Missing halves of 2 vertebrae & remnants of a shattered disc from MVA #1, & burdened by a cervical fusion and severe musculoskeletal issues, at 49 someone else ran into me & messed up my right SI joint. In all, I spent 4 years pursuing integrative medical treatments. I thought I'd never escape my miserable life of severe chronic pain & narcotics. 2 years ago, a few months after the 2nd accident, I was fortunate to be referred to Pilates Aligned & Danielle Hendricks.
From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I had finally begun to find the kind of rehabilitative training I needed. I soon commented, "This is my only hope." I can't imagine a more knowledgeable & knowing, experienced, sensitive, patient, observant, & creative instructor than Danielle Hendricks. She has been wholly present & diligent for 2 years, which is critical to my snail's-pace improvement. She is 1 of only 2 people I trust w/ my rehabiliation completely.
I also have from PTSD from the car crashes. The Pilates Aligned studio, under the management of Cara Reeser, has been a professional, safe, comfortable, welcome environment in which to present my battered body & soul. It has energy & a good feeling in an open space, at the same time radiating the serenity of the instructors. The overall effect fosters privacy & confidence.
For 2 years I've watched regular classes perform positions & movements I sadly could do no longer. I doubted I ever could again. I'm thrilled that just 2day Ms. Hendricks & I both agreed I'll probably be able to begin a regular class in a few months. I no longer have to come straight home & rest overnight after each session. My use of narcotics has decreased 90%. For anyone familiar w/ significant chronic pain, you know there aren't words to express adequate gratitude. DON'T MISS OUT ON PILATES ALIGNED.
Pros: All pros.
Cons: No cons.
