Pilates Body Shaping

"This is the best Pilates I have found in Charlotte. As a former professional dancer, I tend to be highly critical of instructors but this experience exceeded any of my expectations. Laney could spot every compensation or substitution my body tried to pull and cued and reduced resistance and repeated until I got it right. The session wasn’t a workout class but an exercise in movement efficiency and postural alignment. I left feeling taller and more balanced in my body. I highly recommend this studio."

"Recently I visited Charlotte, North Carolina, and found this world-class studio. Traditional Pilates is athletic and demanding. During my lesson, I worked diligently to accomplish the goals of every exercise while I enjoyed some good humor along the way. Pilates pro, Laney Abernethy, and the entire team are some of the most highly trained teachers---and teacher trainers---on the planet. I am thrilled and thankful to find PBS and experience the goodness, the fun, the excellence of a terrific workout! Infinite thanks for preserving Classical Pilates at the highest levels, and I hope to return soon!! Carry onward and upward!!"

"Wonderful detailed and compassionate instruction. I joined classes today and they help immensely with keeping the body and mind attuned during this time. I lived in Charlotte 20 years go and have missed it. I love that I can rejoin the studio remotely from Denver! Highly recommend the passes the studio will be offering to stream classes, join us, receive support, stay healthy by connecting body-mind-spirit-community and raise your vibration!"

"I've been practicing and teaching at this studio for over 20 years. I found it quite by accident back when it was the ONLY dedicated space for yoga in Charlotte. Hard to believe right? with studios on practically every corner now. Classes are still small with lots of individual guidance and attention. You will be asked to stretch your mind as well as your body. As Iyengar was quoted to say.. “Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.”"

"When I first moved to Charlotte, I was so happy to know that there was an Iyengar Yoga studio here. I've been practicing yoga for over 20 years--and while I've dabbled in other styles occasionally--in my experience, nothing comes close to the precision, depth, and effectiveness of the Iyengar approach. The quality of the teachers in this discipline is top-notch. This of course includes the extraordinary teachers at The Yoga Center, home to the only three certified Iyengar Yoga teachers in Charlotte. This place may be Charlotte's best kept secret! If you are looking for the real deal when it comes to yoga, look no further than The Yoga Center."
