🌿 August Newsletter
As we head into August, I can't help but feel incredibly grateful for everything that's unfolding here at Circle Studio. Every month brings new milestones, new friendships, and new opportunities to help more people discover the incredible benefits of Pilates.
Here's what's happening this month...
💜 Welcome to Steph's New Chapter
We're so excited to officially welcome Steph into her new role as a Pilates Instructor at Circle Studio!
Just weeks into teaching, she's already doing an incredible job building confidence, connecting with clients, and sharing her passion for movement.
You'll now find additional classes with Steph every Monday and Thursday at 9:45 AM and 10:45 AM, beginning August 10th. If you haven't had the chance to take one of her classes yet, we encourage you to give one a try!
🌿 Our First Ever Circle Studio Team Meeting
One of the biggest highlights of July was holding our very first Circle Studio staff meeting.
Seeing Shay and Steph sitting around the table beside me was a moment I'll never forget.
A few years ago, this was simply a dream. Today, it's becoming a reality.
What makes this even more special is that all three of us share the same Neu Pilates education, an approach that blends traditional Pilates with physiotherapy-informed movement principles. Neu Pilates emphasizes breath, alignment, body awareness, and purposeful movement, helping people move with greater confidence, control, and longevity.
This style of Pilates has been truly life-changing for me—especially throughout my recovery following my preventative double mastectomy nine months ago. It allowed me to safely rebuild strength, reconnect with my body, and regain confidence in movement. It's a gift I'm so grateful to now share with our community alongside an amazing team.
🌸 The Hormone Harmony Hub Keeps Growing
Our Hormone Harmony Hub has grown to 140 members, and I couldn't be more excited about the community we're building together.
The Hormone Harmony Hub is a free online women's wellness community created to educate, encourage, and support women through every season of life.
Inside the Hub you'll find:
Women's health education
Nutrition tips
Healthy habit challenges
Pilates and movement resources
Discussions and accountability
Community support
Expert resources
Real conversations about hormones, perimenopause, menopause, postpartum health, nutrition, and everyday wellness
I created this space because I wanted women to have somewhere they could ask questions, feel supported, and realize they aren't navigating these seasons of life alone. Community truly changes everything.
🏃 Summer Strides Challenge
We're now four weeks into our second FREE Hormone Harmony Hub challenge—our 7-Week Couch to 5K Run or Walk Challenge!
Open to everyone, this challenge has brought together an incredible group of participants who are building confidence, improving their health, and working toward completing their first—or fastest—5K.
One of the best parts has been watching complete strangers become each other's biggest cheerleaders. Every day the encouragement, accountability, and support shared inside the group reminds me exactly why community matters.
🌳 Pilates in the Park
Join us on Tuesday, August 4th for a special Mat Pilates in the Park at Kenwick Park in Bright's Grove!
We'll be joined by our friends at The Lazy Wave, making it the perfect evening of movement, community, and wellness.
Whether you're brand new to Pilates or a regular at the studio, we'd love to see you there.

📅 Fall Schedule Planning is Underway
Behind the scenes we're busy building our September through December schedule, and we're excited to continue expanding our class offerings.
As our instructor team grows, we'll be adding additional classes and new programming to better serve our amazing community.

💜 Thank You
Whether you've attended one class or one hundred, thank you for being part of the Circle Studio community.
Your support, encouragement, and trust continue to make this little woodland studio on our 72-acre family farm so much more than a place to exercise. Together, we're building a community rooted in movement, connection, education, and wellness.
We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer—and this exciting fall season—has in store.
See you in the studio!

What people have been saying about our Pilates Classes:
"I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for Pilates, I knew I was looking for physical benefits like improved strength, cardio, and range of motion. Thrilled to share I got all that but much more…. I’m happier, smile more, sleep better and gained the confidence to keep trying new things. I have share this fun with my friends and family feeling blessed to be part of the Circle Studio’s flock. This wouldn’t be possible without the guidance of Brigette, the inspirational voice that motivates and challenges me towards my better self. She is a gift in my life and highly recommend trying a class, you won’t regret it!"
