we Are BLACK GIRL PILATES®
A space specifically for and centered around Black women who teach Pilates to share ideas, successes and struggles as instructors and teachers within the business of the method. We will also identify and dismantle areas where we are left out, i.e. magazines, social media, conferences, trainings, and confront those entities regarding the lack of Black women in these spaces.
Through this community we offer mentorship, networking, workshops, online/in-person classes and webinars, conferences, consulting, special events and branded apparel (i.e. t-shirts, notebooks, cups, bags, etc).

Pilates is the ultimate exercise for everyone and every body
It does not matter your physical condition. This exercise method is a collaboration between breath, core integration, movement, concentration, and focus. Pilates provides the strength, mobility, and flexibility for everyday living and physical ability.
Pilates has a reputation for being specifically for white, thin wealthy people; however, there is an extensive Black History tied to the Pilates method. Kathleen Stanford Grant, the first Black Pilates elder to manage her own studio and one of two elders to be certified by Joseph Pilates. Ms. Grant was brilliant and contributed to what the method is today. Because of her, many in the Black community were introduced to the Pilates method and the result is many more Black instructors teaching and doing Pilates.
