We open our door to anyone who wants to enter a journey in search of mind and body balance regardless of their reasons for doing so.

About Brooke: Brooke's love for movement began at the ripe age of 3 with a pink tu-tu and pig-tails. Since then, her passion has evolved into the wonderful world of Pilates. Originally trained through Polestar and STOTT Pilates, Brooke started her career in the San Francisco bay area. Over the years Brooke has found her home at Core Pilates on 17th teaching privates, semi-privates, group classes, and certification courses.

About Chandler:
Chandler Moore Sanders completed her initial Pregnancy and Postpartum certification through The Center for Women’s Fitness in the spring of 2005. This knowledge has been invaluable to Chandler as an instructor, but also as the owner of Core Pilates on 17th in San Francisco . She was originally inspired to obtain this specialized training by the increasing number of pregnant and postpartum women coming to the studio in search of safe, effective ways to workout. This program, however, has given her the tools to go beyond mere exercise and has helped her make Core Pilates on 17th a supportive environment where new and expecting mothers feel comfortable to bring their questions and concerns. As a result, a true community has formed among these mothers and continues as their families grow. Now as a Master Trainer for this program, Chandler and Core Pilates on 17th are proud to be a part of this wonderful organization and look forward to teaching this wonderful work.
