About Us

Other Studios ONLY focus on contracting your own muscles to perform pilates exercises. They teach that everything comes from the “core”. But at Performance Pilates and Fascia we teach you how to move fascially. You will experience movement much differently than at all other studios or gyms. Learning to move fascially teaches you to distribute movement throughout the entire body. This translates into moving pain free. Your new found, pain-free movement will have you doing more, with less effort.

Our teachers are highly experienced and highly educated in both Pilates and Fascial movements. In fact there are only 16 teachers currently in the United States. Most of us are in the Houston area. We teach classical pilates repertoire from a fascial perspective. The fascial approach is the difference. Once you learn the concepts, the body is allowed to open, distribute load & force, move freely with less effort and have virtually no chance of injury!

Healing and caring for your fascia is key. Damaged and/or dehydrated fascia causes pain and discomfort. Releasing held tension and moving in unusual ways as we do in Pilates restores your fascia to a healthy, hydrated state. Load and force distributes past the joints to all of the muscles. Pain relief follows

Choose movement friendly clothing: yoga pants, fitted sweatpants, & comfortable tee shirts are good examples. We do not wear shoes in Pilates. If you want to wear socks, choose grip/sticky bottom socks. Practicing barefoot is always an option.

Fascia is the Extensive web of connective tissues that runs throughout the entire body. It surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve and cell. Healthy facial tissue slides and glides past each other The fascia becomes dehydrated by lack of movement, repetitive movement, lifestyle or injury. Dehydrated fascia begins sticking to itself - movement is restricted… injury is inevitable. We often confuse dehydrated fascia as “tight muscles.”

None. All fitness levels are welcome. Pilates and Facial work is for everyone and EVERY “BODY”.

All classes and private pilates sessions have access to the pilates reformer, tower, chair, spine corrector, and mat pilates. Private pilates sessions can also include the use of the Cadillac, High Ladder Barrel, Ped-o-pull

We offer an initial 90 minute consultation for $49. After your consultation, we offer a “Starter Kit” of 3 Private Sessions.

Classes are 55 minutes in duration.

Most pilates classes have between 3 – 5 participants. We will allow 6 clients into a pilates class. We offer private and semi-private pilates sessions as well.

We ask that all new class members begin with our “Starter Kit”: 3 private sessions. This requirement provides equipment familiarity and safety, discussion of any personal exercise modifications and to help build your comfort level before joining a group class.

In between sessions, we disinfect all touched surfaces of the equipment. We thoroughly disinfect the studio on a regular basis. When cleaning/disinfecting, we use appropriate products based on guidelines by the CDC and Environmental Protection Agency
