The Purpose Behind Poise Pilates: 
A Personal Note from The Owner

My name is Victoria Bishop. I am a co-founder and instructor of Pilates classes here at Poise Pilates. I’d like to share my personal journey:

Pilates helped me to bring physical activity back into my life. For many years, I worked in the entertainment industry. Producing a new movie or a popular TV show may sound glamorous, but in reality, you sit behind a computer for many hours. Stuck in this work pattern and lacking physical activity, my body became very weak. I experienced bad posture, headaches, a stiff neck, and back pain. 

Having body issues became my new normal. I realized that I needed movement and exercise. From CrossFit and running, to weightlifting and yoga, I tried many different things. Unfortunately, physical activity was challenging to stick with and fit into my busy routine. Until I found Pilates, that is.

In my first private Pilates class, I quickly realized how out of shape I was. Initially, I only wanted to become stronger. But the more often I did Pilates, the more benefits I saw. I become more flexible. My lower back was not hurting anymore. My abdominal “pooch” disappeared. Every time I went to class, I experienced a new win. At that point, I decided that I wanted Pilates to be a permanent part of my life. So, I became a certified Pilates instructor. 

While working toward my Pilates certification, I also wanted to find a solution for my sister-in-law, who has severe scoliosis. My family had been looking for ways of helping her. She had spent a lot of money on treatment and had nothing to show for it. In an effort to help my sister-in-law, I read a book on how to apply Pilates principles to help scoliosis

Seeing the amazing results from the application of scoliosis-specific exercises, I continued my Pilates education in the areas of scoliosis and body correction. This is how my journey began.
