Brightman Pilates

Movement heals the mind, body and soul.

No matter what modality of movement is your choice, the value of understanding how your body moves and feels is without measure. We all want to feel good, relieve our pains and discomforts as well as heal from our injuries. What can Pilates do for you? Pilates will help you build strength and greater core stability, improve flexibility. It can help you relieve joint pain, back pain, foot pain, correct your posture and assist you in overall pain management.

We also desire to find that balance between physical and mental well-being to help compete against the stress of our daily lives. Pilates can help you find that balance, so you can do more of what you love, for longer and get more out of it.

I strive to provide a complete experience in each session by helping you obtain a deeper understanding of your own body and how it’s meant to move. My goal is to share my experience and knowledge with people who are passionate about their own health and healing; to help you cultivate a true connection of the mind, body and soul through a solid foundation of movement.

I offer personalized private in-studio, in-home or online classes as well as
in-studio group classes for all bodies.

CERTIFIED CLASSICAL PILATES INSTRUCTOR
CERTIFIED YOGA INSTRUCTOR
CERTIFIED AERIAL INSTRUCTOR

I have been a passionate student of the Pilates method for several years. Initially, it was an injury that led to me to find classical Pilates but it was the strength and body awareness I found that has kept me continuing to do the work.

Having already obtained my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training certification and 50hr Aerial certification in 2018, I had an itch to dive deeper. I completed my journey through the training program at the Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado in February 2021. I have also been certified as a TRX instructor (2019), Core Confidence Specialist (2020) and Yin Aerial instructor (2021). Guided by my natural desire to continually learn, I have been a member of a classical Pilates mentorship program since April 2023. I regularly attend workshops and additional trainings to build my skills and support my clients the best that I can.

I am excited to share my passion for the work with all my clients, current and future.

Testimonial:

Tracy’s mat Pilates classes are packed full of challenges for the body and the mind. Her instructions and cues are very detailed and specific, ensuring that you get the maximum benefit from your efforts. As a physiotherapist, it is obvious to me that she has extensive knowledge of how the muscles, joints and nerves work in unison to produce effective functional movement. This is an hour well spent, and I recommend it.
