ABOUT ALIGN PILATES STUDIOS
WHY ALIGN EXISTS
ALIGN exists because Pilates has deeply impacted our lives—and we believe in sharing that experience through thoughtful, community-centered teaching.
We want to create spaces where people feel supported, informed, and empowered through intelligent movement. Pilates is not just a workout—it’s a practice that, when taught well, can positively influence how you move, feel, and live.
In a field with widely varying standards, we are committed to teaching Pilates with clarity and care, so our community can trust the work, the instructors, and the spaces they practice in.
This belief guides every class, every instructor, and every studio at ALIGN Pilates Studios.

MEET BROOKE BOWERSOCK
Brooke Bowersock is the founder of ALIGN Pilates Studios and a lifelong student of intelligent movement. She discovered Pilates in 1999 and quickly experienced how thoughtful, well-taught movement could change not just how the body feels—but how a person lives in it.
After completing her Pilates certification, Brooke opened one of Austin’s early Pilates studios in 2004. As Pilates grew in popularity, she noticed an important shift: while interest in Pilates increased, the depth of education, consistency of training, and standards for safety varied widely.
That observation shaped everything that followed.
In 2013, Brooke founded ALIGN Pilates Studios to create a different kind of Pilates space—one rooted in education, integrity, and care for both clients and teachers. A place where Pilates is taught with intention, where learning is ongoing, and where people can trust the instruction they’re receiving.
Brooke has served as a Balanced Body® Master Educator since 2016, working within one of the world’s leading Pilates education organizations. She is also a Balanced Body® Principal Educator, a distinction held by only a small group of educators worldwide. Through ALIGN’s studios, teacher training programs, and mentorship pathways, she remains deeply committed to developing confident, well-educated instructors and helping clients build sustainable, lifelong movement practices.
Through ALIGN Pilates Studios in Austin and Houston, Brooke’s work continues to shape how Pilates is taught, practiced, and passed on to future instructors.
ALIGN Pilates Studios is a reflection of that belief—shared with a growing community across Austin and Houston.

Whether you are brand new to Pilates or have years of experience, our goal is to help you move with greater awareness, strength, and confidence—both in the studio and in daily life.
FIND YOUR STUDIO →A COMMUNITY ROOTED IN EDUCATION
ALIGN IS MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF STUDIOS—IT IS A LEARNING-CENTERED COMMUNITY.
Across Austin and Houston, ALIGN Pilates Studios serve as spaces where clients, instructors, and trainees are supported through ongoing education, mentorship, and shared values. Some locations function as dedicated teacher training and mentorship studios, while others offer fully certified, boutique instruction—but all are connected by the same commitment to quality, care, and community.
We believe strong communities are built through trust, consistency, and education—and that movement is better when it’s shared.
