Pilates Instructor, Lindsey Patel, NCPT
Lindsey began doing Pilates to help relieve stress and connect with her friends. After two sessions she was hooked. She experienced less anxiety, better posture, and reduced pain in her body. In 2009, she decided she needed to know as much as possible about Pilates and the human anatomy so she could share this magical practice with her loved ones so she became certified in Pilates mat and equipment through Balanced Body in 2009. She later earned her Comprehensive Pilates certification in 2013 as well as an Associate's Degree in Kinesiology. She continues to bring a unique take on Pilates with her Yin Yoga teachings, which she earned a certification in in 2017.
When she is not teaching Pilates or practicing yoga you might find Lindsey biking around the city with her husband and daughter or with her nose in a good book.

Pilates Instructor, Brandi Thieme
I'm Brandi and I'm so excited to meet you in class! I am a local yoga instructor and yoga nidra guide. I welcomed reformer pilates into my life in 2024. I was humbled by the practice, quickly learning how very different my right side was from my left side- it would make me smile and chuckle a bit during class. Reformer pilates is also a great form of body movement for me as I have an autoimmune disease, and I found this form of body movement to also assist in a stronger yoga practice. I decided I would like to teach reformer and received my certification in early 2026.
When I am not moving my body, I enjoy spending time with my westie Sir Bertram Phillips and my husband. I enjoy slow mornings at home with a cup of pour over. I also enjoy collecting houseplants, with a collection of over 50! I enjoy supporting small and local businesses, and if you see me in public I've likely got a cappuccino in hand. I look forward to and daydream about my next travel adventure - no specific place, just somewhere I've never been!
