“The PilatesBody Studio is dedicated to teaching Pilates in a private and focused manner to truly change the client’s body both inside and out.”
Our lovely Central Phoenix location is equipped with the revolutionary BASI Systems F2 Equipment and is the BASI host in Arizona hosting courses and workshops.
TESTIMONIALS
“I love the new equipment! Some of the features take some getting used to, but in a good way for me. It is deepening my practice–makes me more aware of my need to stabilize my body and not rely on the equipment to do it.”
“It makes me work harder for stability, which is so exciting.”
“I love it! It is so smooth and comfortable! I even feel that many of the movements are more beautiful on the new equipment–is that crazy? I could keep my feet on the footbar all day, it feels so good!”
“It is beautiful, comfortable, and I absolutely love it!”
“The design is unbelievable! It is beyond any equipment I have used or seen. I knew from looking at it and feeling it that it was airplane grade aluminum, even before Jody told me. The creator must be a genius!”
The F2 System lies at the heart of BASI Systems Pilates equipment. A true innovation for Pilates movement, it offers unprecedented versatility and precision in spring angle and resistance settings. Springs can be attached to multiple ports on your Reformer, Cadillac, Barrels, Chair and Spine Corrector. Multiple F2 Systems can be used simultaneously to inspire exciting new repertoire possibilities.

HEAVY BREATHER ALERT! Progression. Prone 1, 2 and 3! I will teach the first two exercises TOMORROW @bpa_phoenix beginning the first module of @basipilates Graduate Program! My Prone 3, from the Legacy Program, is a work in progress for me—no pun intended! My intention is NOT to have that little “jump” bringing the bar up and down.

Rael says “the breath gives birth to the movement!” As you can hear while I do these last three Hanging Front, this one is a BIG BABY! I consistently rotate the more challenging back extension exercises in my practice sessions. And I never take it for granted how much effort I need to execute them correctly for my body!!! #grateful #pilates #intentionalmovement #practicecorrectly #basimentorprogram #basipilates #rael_isacowitz #bpa_usa #basisystems #basilegacyprogram #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesformen #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilateslifestyle #basiteacher #basistudent #pilatesforeverybody #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #thepowerofaging #thisissixtyone #onzieleggings

I dedicate this Jackknife on the F2 Chair to my colleague and friend @nataschaeyber @basigermany We practiced together this morning (gotta love Zoom!) She is days away from hosting @basipilates Master ll Program with @rael_isacowitz teaching online. Natascha is assisting Rael live in Germany, with another incredible Principle Faculty Maria Sylla assisting Rael @bpa_usa VERY exciting! I did have to put my saddle on and exhale a dozen times trying to keep my legs perpendicular on the way down!

Sunday is funday! My intention with this classical Joseph Pilates Cat Walkover Prep, taught in @basipilates Mentor program, is effortless effort. Not quite there yet! I am starting here with my weaker left side, and although my right leg is not yet straight, my pelvis and arms are aligned and my mid back extensors are working! Progress! I am an athlete with many years of overuse injuries and compensations, who has chosen to retrain my body, to learn, practice and share this work! I’ll keep trying… #pilates #intentionalmovement #precision #practicepracticepractice #progress #basipilates #rael_isacowitz #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #strongwomen #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesformen #pilatesforkids #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesreformer #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #neverstoplearning #nowisnow #hardworkpaysoffs #sixtyoneisfun

Precision and flow. The Pilates principles that are true to @basipilates I ALWAYS want one more try to do the best I can do. This Roll Up into Sitting is from the Honors Program, part of the BASI Legacy Program. @rael_isacowitz says to “use the spring when hinging forward.” I sure tried Rael! #pilates #intentionalmovement #leavingmycomfortzone #basipilates #bpa_usa #rael_isacowitz #basipilateslegacyprogram #basisystems #pilatesreformer #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #thepowerofaging #pilatesforbreastcancer #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesformen #pilatesforeverybody #pilatescadillac #strongwomen #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesfitness #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #bewhereyouare

Friday’s practice—Handstands of any kind are certainly challenging for those of us with limited shoulder flexion and rounded thoracic spine. This is the Handstand on @basisystems Wunda Chair from @basipilates Mentor program. My intention is to be more vertical and stable as I press the pedal down and up.
