Celebrating 15 years!

Dear Community,

This month we celebrate our 15 year anniversary— 15 years of transformational movement and dedicated teaching for our community. We want to acknowledge this milestone with a very special offer and a gift for you. We also want to celebrate this moment with a few special memories from our 15 years here in Williamsburg.

In January 2011, we opened our doors to the community inside a small office suite that I shared with a massage therapist. With my convertible Cadillac table and Wunda chair that I had purchased at an estate sale on Long Island, I began offering private sessions that blended my therapeutic skills with my passion for Pilates, movement, and healing work. Within weeks, I met so many wonderful people that were attracted to my approach and truly connected to the real changes they were experiencing. Within months, my schedule was completely booked. I found myself working from 7am - 8pm multiple days a week in an effort to turn no one away.

The following year, in 2012, we expanded into the bright and beautiful space that would become our home for over a decade. It was there I learned how to hire and create a deeply supportive team. Of course I made some mistakes, but I learned so much about how to effectively operate a conscious, community-centered business. I witnessed how our intentionality and commitment to personalized services provided a space for growth, creativity, joy, and healing.

This became even more apparent during 2020 and the post-pandemic years. We found hope in each other, we discovered deeper meaning in what we offer and what we receive—we created a reciprocal space for listening, for true connection, for care.

And, we continue to grow and evolve.

Just last year, I discovered a strength in myself that allowed me to overcome the new challenges I encountered with the move. I learned that to expand I needed to ask for help. I needed to deeply trust in myself. And I could not be prouder of what my team and I have co-created together.

Through 15 years and many seasons of change,

through the intensity and tenderness of living in New York City…

You’ve shown up. You’ve practiced.

You’ve made time for care in a city that rarely slows down.

And because of that, we’re still here.

Thank you — for trusting us, Pilates, and beyond!

With Endless Grattitude,

Brynne & The Progressive Pilates Team.
