Recommended Pilates Instructors in Minneapolis, MN

Highest recommendation for beginners and aficionados alike. When moving back to Minneapolis from the SF Bay Area 6 years ago, finding a top-notch Pilates studio was a top priority. In Awaken Pilates, I found not just superb instruction but also a warm and welcoming community. Whatever kind of day I'm having, it is always boosted by an hour at Awaken.

I always like to tell the story about my first session with Anne as it is a good reminder about her dedication as a trainer (as if we need another reminder☺). I was considering joining Lifetime to take Pilates, so I did a session for her to evaluate me. I had been taking classes for a year at another studio and thought I was progressing pretty well. After our session, she said she recommended level 1 classes for me to start…I wasn’t happy. But I followed her instructions and I am glad that I did because I was able to refocus on the basics. It also helped to advance to higher levels with a more foundational understanding of using a deeper mind and body connection. So thanks Anne for knocking me down a peg!
