Hg: how do you see Pilates and yoga helping one another? Lauren: Hally saw something in me that was able to be shared with everyone and gets passed on to the student it's the energy and positivity generated throughout the practice. Lauren has become integral to the operation. He was so incredibly generous and supportive-I didn't have a business plan, I was the only one teaching-I put an ad on Craigslist and Lauren interviewed at my apartment. Steve asked me to move Thrive into the old PPY space (where Thrive is now). Steve acquired more space in the building at the same time my husband and I moved in next door. When I moved here permanently I continued to take classes at PPY. When I came to visit she told him I was a pilates teacher, and he said I should teach there. Hg: why did you decided to team up with Steve of Philly Power Yoga (PPY)?
When you understand how to do it, you work at a deeper level, with more complex layers of muscles. I always tell people that the more you do Pilates, the harder it gets. Then you can take that awareness back into your yoga or Pilates class. There's a sense of flow, but slowed down to move more consciously. There's a lot of working from the core, using the magic circle. Hally: YP Fusion is a Philly Power Yoga class with Pilates worked in more of the principles than actual Pilates poses. Though, I probably go to the YP Fusion class most frequently. Lauren: There's that saying, "wherever you go there you are." Depending on your schedule, which teacher-but for me, whatever class I go to, ends up being what I needed. On Mondays I get to take Chelsea's YP Fusion class it's a great blend of both. Hally: I'm at the point now with my son that I take whatever I can-luckily I love all the classes. Hg: what is your favorite class at Thrive? Why? If we want everyone to feel comfortable, we need to set the example. Hally: None of our teachers are cookie-cutter Pilates teachers I want everyone to be themselves and to feel comfortable. It lightens up the mood we use people's names, look people in the eye, remember life events like getting married, vacation, etc. To help keep it light, we use humor and humility all the time. Lauren: For barre, there a lot of beginners who ask if they need a dance background-but the barre we teach has the Pilates principles behind it so it has that level of progress. He says, as he goes off to court, "all I need to know is that the lawyer next to me didn't do Pilates." One of our regulars-big-time lawyer-every afternoon he comes in, sweats and works so hard on his mat.

Hally: Our clients are learning how to use muscles they didn't know they had they stand taller, feel more confident-they can move through the world, literally, standing proud. It's really for everyone and adaptable to every body. I've had the same injuries they have one of my favorite things is to see how people progress from when they started. Lauren: As an instructor, when I'm teaching, my #1 ability to connect to students is relating it back to my experience. Hg: the word 'Pilates' can be intimidating to some… can you help explain how it can truly be for ANYONE: She and Lauren Kelly (assistant director + studio manager) sat down over lunch at honeygrow last week to chat… After overcoming a childhood illness, Hally has striven to bring her focus of well-being with a personal touch to the Philadelphia area. With a background in dance and psychology, the marriage between physical movement and a healthy state of mind is always her focus. Hally has always wanted to help people's state of being. Hally started Thrive Pilates in 2008 out of her apartment, but by the next summer she partnered with Steve Gold of Philly Power Yoga to share space at 2016 Walnut St. The teachers genuinely care-it's important to listen for injuries and to provide modifications for students." we encourage teachers to converse with students. So, they design and teach a challenging workout without making you feel vulnerable… "I hire teachers equally for character and talent our teachers understand that moving your body in new ways can be intimidating. "We strive to make the website warm and inviting and reflect this sense of warmth and openness again when you walk through the door." The Philly Power Yoga and Thrive Pilates studio spaces are designed to negate the intimidation factor. For Thrive owner, Hally Bayer, that starts before a student arrives. At Philly Power Yoga and Thrive Pilates + Fitness, making everyone feel 'comfortable' is a top priority since many newcomers are intimidated about starting a new workout practice.
