How is BalleCore BARRE PILATES® different from other popular ‘barre’ programs? 

•    BalleCore BARRE PILATES® is the original and only barre program that is purely Pilates-based and uses the patented BalleCore Barre created by Molly Weeks.
•    BalleCore BARRE PILATES® sessions are not scripted, corporate classes.  Using the BARRE PILATES exercise guidelines, instructors use their own creativity and ingenuity to design their classes for their students and clients
•    A certified BalleCore BARRE PILATES® instructor is a fully certified Pilates Mat instructor (in accordance with standards set by the Pilates Method Alliance*), who has been trained in all protocols to safely and effectively interpret Pilates exercises with the BalleCore Barre.
•    Certified BalleCore BARRE PILATES® instructors have had to test out with BalleCore, LLC in order to call themselves BARRE PILATES instructors.
•    Look for the BalleCore, LLC seal on all BalleCore BARRE PILATES® Certificates to verify their qualifications.  Learn more about BalleCore and get Teacher Training information.

90DayGreatBody.com
This is one of the domains/programs that we now host through PlayhousePilates.com but it is not about the place it is about the concept of committing to 30 sessions in 90 days! The humble size of our studio space can accommodate this kind of commitment because we offer a diverse class schedule with experienced instructors.   We have and have had wonderful instructors and we will continue to seek out the best of the best!  Sometimes it is challenging to be boutique because we don't have what larger studio spaces do.  But we are growing and the pace feels right for us and it is what it is!  We have three experienced, talented teachers and master teachers on board with us and we need two more who will be able to recognize the great opportunity that we offer and find their niche!  I feel such appreciation for those teachers who have been with us over the years!
MARY BOND
We had an incredible workshop with Mary Bond on June 9!  The main focus was on grounding and recognizing the relationship between the spine and the feet.  The cuboid bone and how we balance and ground ourselves.  We look forward to Mary returning in the Fall for more workshops specifically about Pilates and movement education!  Buy her book, THE NEW RULES OF POSTURE at Amazon.com!
