“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. Back extension and shoulder flexion are challenging and so very motivating for me!#neuromusculartraining #intentionalmovement #pilates #practicemakesprogress #practicecorrectly #basipilates #bpa_usa #raelisacowitz #basifamily #basifaculty #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesformen #pilatesforkids #pilatesforlife #pilatesbody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #thepowerofaging #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #nowisnow #thisissixtyone
Impromptu and a bit rushed demonstration of Hanging Back with Pull Up in a session yesterday with a couple of long time clients! I will film them next time!!! This back extension exercise is from @basipilates Honors Program, the fourth step in the Legacy program. ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

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

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, joyful year ahead!!!
This Handstand on the Ladder Barrel is a continuous personal challenge and my first attempts in 2023! I am proud and determined to continue working on things that take digging deep, make me leave my comfort zone, and explore ways to get there!!!

Always REACHing! This little @basipilates exercise is so powerful and underestimated! The Spine Corrector is often my “go to” for some stability before mobility! #pilates #intentionalmovement #practicecorrectly #basipilates #rael_isacowitz #bpa_usa #basisystems #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesformen #pilatesbody #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #thepowerofaging #thisissixtyone
Practice re-do! From a challenging @basipilates Honors warmup I just finished and had to correct! #pilates #basilegacyprogram #rael_isacowitz #basipilates #basisystems #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #hardworkpaysoff #practicecorrectly
My heart is full!!! It has been simply AMAZING to be here @bpa_thessaloniki @animastudio.gr What a gift and pure pleasure to work with this new group of eager, open minded, warm, beautiful people, who were willing to learn in English!!! I am so grateful to have been able to share the @basipilates love in the most beautiful studio with such an incredible and gracious host (and translator!). Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️ for this phenomenal experience!

Making my dreams come true!!! My dear friend @bpa_thessaloniki Alexandra, planted this seed in my head and here I am!Mentor 2022 in Athens, Greece with extraordinary @basipilates Legacy Faculty Maria Sylla and @ilariabasipilates hosted by @bpa_greece It was INCREDIBLE!!! I simply loved every minute of learning, sharing, meeting so many amazing people, and spreading the BASI LOVE!!!

The process! Susan could not support herself yet while learning Control Balance from @basipilates Mat Program. Giving her assistance allowed her to feel it so she can practice safely and correctly!!!

BASI Family!!! Foundation/Mat ✅ @bpa_phoenix There is nothing sweeter for a teacher than watching a group of students, who begin as strangers with something in common, become bonded for life before my eyes! I noticed in our first picture from a couple of weeks ago after Day 1, that we were not touching each other!!! #proudteacher #pilates #basipilates #bpa_phoenix #rael_isacowitz #basisystems #thejourneybegins

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! The creaking is NOT my body! 😉 #pilates #basilegacyprogram #rael_isacowitz #basipilates #bpa_usa #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #jackknifechallenge #intentionalmovement #practicepracticepractice #practicecorrectly #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #sixtyoneisfun #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #onzieleggings #pilatesgoddessclothing

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
Working on things to help with Handstands. Stability before mobility! Here are Up Stretch 2 and Push Up Triceps on the F2 Chair from @basipilates Master 1, part of the Legacy Program! #pilates #practicemakesprogress #intentionalmovement #basipilates #rael_isacowitz #bpa_usa #basisystems #basifaculty #basifamily #basilegacyprogram #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforbreastcancer #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesbody #pilatesreformer #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #thepowerofaging #hardworkpaysoffs #onzie
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.

BASI=LOVE!!! My friend and colleague from Germany @mariambasipilates We were in the first @basipilates ProBridge course together in 2012, connected then and have stayed connected in our hearts all this time. To be in @rael_isacowitz last Mentor program was simply a dream come true!!! #pilates #basimentor2022 #rael_isacowitz #basipilates #bpa_usa #basifamily #basifaculty #mybasilife #basisystems #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #friendsforlife
Please forgive the camera flip! Words cannot describe the feeling or express my gratitude for being able to be a part of this past weekend @bpa_usa with @rael_isacowitz in his last Mentor program! Rael challenged me to do six Hanging Front for my turning 61 over the weekend! I am beyond proud to show how hard I have worked and will continue to work to be able to represent @basipilates and the Legacy program—Rael’s heart and soul! “It is not about the exercises. It is about the experience!” Thank you, Rael, from the bottom of my heart!#pilates #mybasilife #BASIMentor2022 #rael_isacowitz #bpa_usa #basipilates #onwardandupward #BASIMentorUSA2022 #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #basilegacyprogram #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #hardworkpaysoffs #sixtyoneandstrongerthanever #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #nowisnow
Intentional movement!!Yesterday’s @basipilates Mentor practice ended with this Hanging Front! It has not always, been attainable for me with the correct mechanics! I’m heading back to @bpa_usa to take the Mentor for my 4th time. I am as excited as my first time in 2015!
Rael says to “Have a beginners mindset!” I truly believe it makes us better students, therefore better teachers! #pilates #mybasijourney #hardworkpaysoffs #basipilates #basisystems #raelisacowitz #intentionalmovement #basifaculty #basilegacyprogram #basifamily #basistrong #bpa_usa #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesbody #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #precision #pilatesreformer #pilatescadillac #strongwomen #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #dreamersdream #alwaysastudent #onzie #sixtyonehereicome

Practice time! We know in Pilates if there’s a “prep” there’s a “full!” And if there’s a 1, there’s probs a 2, and maybe a 3! @basipilates Mentor program, the first step in the Legacy Program, presents so many challenges and is a huge leap from the Comprehensive work! And Star 1 Prep leads to so many other exercises!!! Who is joining me for the Mentor @bpa_usa with @rael_isacowitz Sept 23-25 ??? #pilates #mybirthdayweekend #basipilates #bpa_usa #rael_isacowitz #basisystems® #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #pilatesreformer #pilatesbody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesfitness #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #practicepracticepractice #strongwomen #neverstopexploring #hardworkpaysoffs #onzie #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo
Intentional movement is so much more than just the exercise! Thank you @rael_isacowitz for sharing your life’s work!
