Pilates and Balance with Ali Lodise
Saturday, March 14, 2026
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Cost: $65

Join Senior Pilates Instructor and Doctor of Physical Therapy, Ali Lodise for a 3-hour workshop about the balance and Pilates. What do we mean when we say “balance?” The three main systems that contribute to balance are the visual system, vestibular system and proprioceptive system. In this workshop, participants will learn about these systems and how to address balance in Pilates sessions. The workshop will begin with a group mat Pilates class followed by an interactive lecture and small group circuits on the Pilates equipment. Reach out to Ali at akl87@drexel.edu to discuss questions or concerns.

Last month, Karen Carlson delivered the Arm Chair Workshop for Pilates instructors at DP. In this workshop, participants were taught families of Arm Chair exercises with focus on shoulder girdle and arm function. Karen also highlighted the differences between mobilization, stabilization and coordination in these exercises and in overall function. Thank you, Karen! We are so grateful to learn from you.

New class at Drexel Pilates!

Pilates for Bone Density
Mondays, 1:30-2:20 PM with Kalila

This class focuses on weight bearing Pilates exercises and champions spring resistance on the tower, reformer, and chair to healthily load your bones. We will practice engaging the center in a neutral spine, limit end-range spinal flexion, and focus on strengthening the spinal extensors and the lateral stabilizers that support balance. This class is designed particularly to practice safe Pilates for people with bone density concerns such as osteoporosis and osteopenia. All clients are welcome.

*The exercises in this class have been carefully selected based on peer reviewed studies about the impact of Pilates on Bone Mineral Density and eliminates exercises that are contra-indicated for people with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Join Jennifer Morley for a workshop that helps Pilates instructors cultivate presence as a core element of their teaching. In an industry often focused on performance and presentation, this experience invites you to turn inward—exploring presence within yourself, recognizing what gets in the way, and developing strategies to bring more awareness and authenticity to your sessions. Through reflective sharing, you’ll revisit your personal inspiration, refresh your “why,” and reconnect with what you love most about being a Pilates instructor. The workshop culminates in a co-created Pilates practice rooted in connection, mindful movement, and the transformative power of presence.
