As we journey into plus size wellness, the movement space, and the various activities that familiarize ourselves with our bodies, plus size Pilates has been bubbling to the top. We have featured plus size yoga and those leading that space in the past, but pilates? It has both intrigued and made us curious over here at TCF. So, as we did some research, we learned that Pilates is low-impact, adaptable, and the equipment used? Is sturdy.

But where and how would we learn how to begin a journey into Pilates? Well, how about with a plus size Pilates instructor! Thereโ€™s a misconception in the physical fitness world that all pilates instructors need to have a specific body type. However, weโ€™re here to debunk that myth and celebrate the beautiful and curvy spectrum that exists when it comes to this space.

Plus size pilates instructors have always been here and are a big part of BOTH the Healthy at Every Size (H.A.E.S) and the body positivity movement, proving that Pilates is for everyone, and that fat and fit can indeed coexist.
