We recently had the pleasure of hosting The Lifted Lotus at East River Pilates for a professional development workshop with our dream team of Pilates instructors, and it was such an incredible experience. Their presentation on pelvic floor health, along with thoughtful pre/postnatal Pilates modifications and education, was informative, empowering, and deeply impactful for our team. You can immediately feel the depth of knowledge, care, and holistic approach they bring to their work. Marlene and Mariela created such a supportive and engaging learning environment, and our instructors walked away with practical tools, greater understanding, and so much appreciation for the work they do. If you’re looking for expert, compassionate care in pelvic floor therapy or private Pilates, I cannot recommend The Lifted Lotus enough. Their approach is thoughtful, evidence-based, and truly centered around helping people feel stronger, more connected, and supported in their bodies.
