Pilates for everyBODY...
We believe that Pilates is for everyBODY and one of our missions is to bring that reality to as many people as we can across the US and then around the globe.
Moving into Meaningful Action!
An Invitation to Weekly ZOOM Conversations
Please join us for a series of ZOOM discussions and conversations on systemic racism, racism and the lack of equity and diversity within the Pilates profession and field.

As professionals we should all take up these conversations with our colleagues and friends. These conversations will be challenging or even uncomfortable at times. They will hopefully bring us to a new place of understanding and activism. We need to first heal our fractures and then look towards our future. 


All times listed are Mountain Standard Time
Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, 3:00 pm
Thursday, Feb. 25, 3:00 pm with Shayla Betts
Wednesday, March 3, 5:00 pm
Friday, March 12, 3:30 pm


Space is limited to 30 participants so please email us info@thepilatesinitiative.org for an invitation.
 
On February 25 at 3:00pm MST our special guest will be:
 
 Shayla Betts, LCSW
Treasurer, Richmond Association of Black Social Workers
Membership Committee, National Association of Black Social Workers
 
Shayla Betts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Assistant Professor of Social Work at a state university in central Virginia.  Shayla obtained her Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and she has been a licensed clinical social worker since 2017.  Shayla has engaged in social work practice in various fields including public, private, and after-school educational settings, acute psychiatric hospitalization, and private practice. Shayla is currently pursuing her PhD in Transformative Social Change through Saybrook University where she is focused on examining white racial experiences and white racial affect as a potential pathway to achieve racial justice and equity.
Further Education & Context: Anti-racism Resources

We are providing a list of resources that can provide more context on systemic racism, racism, diversity, diversity training, outreach initiatives  etc.  At The Pilates Initiative we feel that it is everyone’s responsibility to take the time to educate ourselves on these very real and longtime problems that have plagued the US for more that 400 years. Join the conversation and become part of the action that creates change. The time is NOW. Please click on the PDF button below to view.

Financial Relief for the Fitness Industry
Pilates professionals: This is why an organization that represents Pilates that has a strong lobbying arm is of the utmost importance. Since that does not exist at this time, we are urging that everyone to call or write their representatives and ask them to support this legislation. This bill will be good for the entire profession and the fitness industry. Please click the "Learn More" button and read on.
