About Us
Welcome to Pilates Presence Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2022 by Executive Director Corinna Tyris, Esq.
Inspired by Joe Pilates' original vision, we believe that everyone, regardless of circumstances or barriers, deserves the opportunity to build a strong, healthy body, mind, and spirit, through the time-tested method of Pilates.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring the healing power of Pilates to those who need it most.
We aim to provide quality classical Pilates training to historically vulnerable populations with a special focus on women and youth.
Through safe, supportive, and accessible classical Pilates programs, our goal is to restore wellbeing, nurture resilience, and create opportunities for support and connection.
Empowering Postpartum Initiative
The Empowering Postpartum Initiative was created to support mothers during one of the most vulnerable and transformative times in life — the months following childbirth.
Far too many women experience postpartum depression, anxiety, and isolation, often without the support they need to heal and recover.
The benefits of classical Pilates for postpartum recovery are profound, supporting rehabilitation, emotional well-being, and renewed confidence. However, access to such care is often inaccessible to many postpartum women. In addition to socioeconomic factors and others barriers, often just leaving the house with a newborn can feel overwhelming.
The Empowering Postpartum Initiative bridges that gap, offering accessible Pilates instruction to postpartum women in a safe and nurturing environment, where baby is always welcome. Our goal is to ensure that mothers don't have to choose between nurturing themselves or nurturing their child.
This year, Pilates Presence Project, Inc. is honored to donate private Pilates sessions to Postpartum Support International's local awareness event, The Climb, which brings together vital resources for mothers and families.
