​​​​​​​​
Thank you to for your support!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And a special thank you to and for bringing our vision to life!

Are you tired of hearing yourself say the same cues over and over? Have you watched all of your favorite instructor’s classes online and now you are searching for a new favorite instructor to add to your list? Are you bored with your teaching material? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you answered YES to any of these questions ALIGN Summit was created for YOU! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We decided to bring this Summit to life based on our own selfish needs. During the throws of the pandemic, our team of instructors at relied heavily on virtual teaching and virtual inspiration. Thank goodness for all of the amazing options that are out there online. They were our lifeline as teachers over the past few years. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When we opened our studio doors again last year for in-person teaching, we were on top of the world to see our community face to face again. But, it became clear very quickly that there was a real need for new material and in-person learning again for ourselves, not just our clients. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We ALL need this right now! Join us for ALIGN Summit and reignite your passion.​​​​​​​​

We have so many amazing workshop topics and discussions in store for ALIGN Summit!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Join Leah Stewart for her discussion on Pelvic Floor Health.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Many women simply believe that uncomfortable and discouraging pelvic floor incontinence is a normal part of life after childbearing and with aging. Although women may experience some minor incontinence throughout life, it can be corrected and does NOT have to progress into a significant struggle that negatively affects their quality of life and health. It is possible to live without the frustration and fear of incontinence; one just has to simply know which exercises are most effective (hint: kegels are not as awesome as we're told they are).​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
In this discussion, Leah will break down why the passive acceptance of incontinence in our modern experience as women is negatively affecting many women and how they live their life, pursue their interests and care for others. Through a concise and easy-to-understand explanation of pelvic floor anatomy and common reasons for incontinence, students will gain a better understanding of the importance of pelvic floor health.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This discussion will also explore four major movement necessities and considerations that each woman should be engaging with on a daily basis to not only heal pelvic floor deviations or injuries, but to also build and maintain the highly beneficial balance of pelvic floor strength and mobility that is required for a fully functional, health pelvic floor. ​​​​​​​​

As I am reading the comments for our TICKET GIVEAWAY (see the post right before this for details on that!) I am reminded of one of the best parts about Pilates continuing education conferences. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Getting together and sharing space with people who have the same passion as you and LOVE Pilates the way you do is so heart-warming and fulfilling. There is really nothing like it. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I remember going to the PMA conference in Phoenix in 2016 (???) and arriving to see large decals all over the floors with Joe quotes and Pilates inspo. The first one I saw said "Patience Persistence Pilates". At that time I had made a brave decision to expand my brick-and-mortar studio from 800 sqft to 3300 and I was pretty scared. I instantly felt a sense of calm with these words and felt comfort in the fact that I knew I was with MY PEOPLE even though I had come to the conference by myself. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It has been over two years since events like these have happened in person and we are thrilled to be able to offer you a space to come together with YOUR PEOPLE.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Bonds will be made, friendships will be built and you will go home feeling energized from that energy and from the new material you walk away with. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We can't wait to welcome you to the first-ever ALIGN Summit and connect and grow with you all. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Be sure to check out the post before this to learn how to win TWO FREE TICKETS! Our GIVEAWAY closes tomorrow, Thursday April 14th at 6pm CST.

We are excited to introduce you to one of our Summit Vendors, Somi Natural Energy Drink. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Amongst the chaos of 2020, in Austin, Texas, Arianna Salinas and her husband Angel weren’t satisfied with the energy drinks they needed to power their busy lives. From the famous Bulls to the Scary Creatures, they couldn’t find something they loved and felt safe drinking.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After venturing into the Better-For-You energy drink aisle, the disappointment continued with additives, mystery ingredients, misleading labels – and still tons of sugar.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Knowing they couldn’t be the only ones feeling anxious, jittery, bloated and sometimes even fearful for their health and well-being, they took it upon themselves to find a better way, the BEST FOR YOU way.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Meet Somi.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The premium, matcha powered, all natural energy drink on a mission to break the industry stigma. With 170mg of natural caffeine, zero sugar, and natural antioxidants, provides health conscious consumers with zen-like, focused energy the way Mother Nature intended, without the crash, jitters, bloat or other BS found in traditional energy drinks.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It’s time to MEET YOUR MATCHA. Learn more .​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We can't wait to have Somi at our first ALIGN Summit.

We are excited to announce SmartSpine as one of the Vendors at ALIGN Summit!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
SmartSpine™ is a work of love, and a staple of Mary-Jose's work. Her motto is, “Making movement easy while putting ease into daily movement.” This is the fundamental principle of her teaching in therapeutic movement and Pilates for well over two decades. The SmartSpine™ system and approach evolved from the inspiration fueled by her daily work and interaction with clients and students, as well as her fascination with the optimal biomechanics of the spine and pelvis. Working with a variety of different bodies requires a unique approach for each individual. However, her method is grounded in one common goal: creating ease of movement in a healthier body. The creative search for the right teaching tool to facilitate optimal movement learning, as well as mobility of the spine and its related structures, resulted in the creation of this unique and practical teaching aid and treatment tool.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Visit and learn more from Cathy Moses Baldasserini, the new Owner of SmartSpine.​​​​​​​​

We can't wait to see you all at the Summit!
