  Jamie

  Instructor

  Meet Jamie! Jamie loves the mind-body aspect of Pilates and the emphasis it places on correct alignment of the body. Her journey into mind-body practices began immediately after graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2017. After only two month of practicing, Jamie decided to go through yoga teacher training and has gained experience teaching and practicing yoga for the past few years. When Club Pilates opened up, she was intrigued, having heard of Pilates as another mind-body practice. Pilates and Jamie were love at first sight, and she immediately tarted Pilates teacher training. Jamie has found an immense amount of awareness through mind-body practices and considers breath to be a fundamental component to accessing the amazing benefits they have to offer. In her classes, you can expect to use the breath to tune into your body and an emphasis on the fundamentals of Pilates and it's exercises.

  Meet Melanie! Not only is Melanie an instructor here, she is also the lovely owner of Club Pilates College Station! Melanie began doing Pilates in Los Angeles over 20 years ago. As a former dancer, Pilates was a natural fit. Also a yoga devotee, she taught yoga in a pilot program in the Los Angeles unified school district! A Texas native, she returned to Texas in 2005. When Club Pilates opened in her neighborhood two years ago, she was hooked! She currently teaches Pilates part time at our studio! “Bringing Club Pilates to a town that had no Pilates experience was a big challenge, but also great fun! Our members are so excited and they are learning so much. It’s incredibly rewarding to create jobs and bring this amazing form of exercise to the community. Aggieland loves Pilates and I’m so happy to have been a part of that.” We are incredibly grateful to have such an encouraging, intelligent, and kind owner!
