Megan was a professional ballet dancer and teacher who discovered the benefits of Pilates early in her dancing career. She has been practicing Pilates for over a decade and dancing for over twenty years. She earned her BFA in Dance from the University of Oklahoma. Megan completed her Mat Certification with the Physical Mind Institute in 2010. She later completed her Balanced Body Reformer Teacher Training with Balanced Body Nashville and completed her comprehensive Pilates teacher training with Core Collective Broad. In 2020, she took the NCPT exam and became a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. She fell in love with Pilates because of its similarities to dance in the way it lengthens and strengthens the body while maintaining healthy alignment. 

Maggie has practiced Pilates since 2006 - throughout 3 pregnancies, through multiple injuries and in great health. She loves how it can be tailored to fit wherever you are and can return you to health and balance. Maggie has taught fitness classes for many years and she loves that Pilates doesn't get easier, but that the work continues to challenge the body as it gets stronger. Maggie has been part of our teaching team at CCB since 2018.

Laura has aspired to be an athlete at every stage of her life. After a recurring running injury set her back in 2010, a friend recommended barre classes, and soon after she became a group fitness junkie. A few years later she dislocated her shoulder in a rollerblading accident and, in the years that followed, attended physical therapy to treat both shoulders. After rehabilitating from shoulder surgery she joined a Pilates studio near her apartment in Chicago and immediately began to notice her body recover faster and stronger. What Laura admires most about Pilates is it is a safe, challenging, and healing workout for the mind and body.

Pilates has brought her an uplifting community, given her a practice she loves and learns from continuously, and opportunities for growth both mentally and physically.

She found CCB during her first year as a nurse while looking for something to add to her exercise regimen that would help her gain strength, balance, and control. After advancing in her own practice, she began to see the benefits of Pilates in both her body and mind.  Grace believes that Pilates is for every body, and has a passion for helping others experience the benefits of consistent practice. 

Shannon is a pediatric physical therapist who has enjoyed the benefits of Pilates for years. She grew up as a dancer, and took Pilates mat classes to stay active during off seasons. After completing her physical therapy degree, she had a renewed interest in Pilates as a fitness program that is rooted in alignment, functional movement, and balanced muscle development.

She found Core Collective in 2021 and was drawn to the challenging classes and supportive community. As a teaching apprentice, she loves seeing how Pilates can empower people of all ages and fitness levels by improving their strength and mobility.

Natalie is a Memphis native, who after several years of working in New York City in the fine art market, returned home to slow down and realign.

She is fascinated by the life-changing benefits of strengthening the mind-body connection and how these positive changes in our bodies trickle into the details of our day-to-day lives.
