Rachel DAy OWNER/LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a 500-hour Comprehensive Certified Pilates instructor with advanced certifications and over 10 years of experience helping people move with more strength, confidence, and joy. My teaching blends professionalism with warmth—I want every session to feel supportive, approachable, and fun.
My journey as an instructor has been shaped by both advanced training and hands-on experience. Early in my career, I had the privilege of working in an orthopedic hospital, where I shadowed top doctors and physical therapists. That experience gave me invaluable insight into how the body heals and how movement can be safely adapted for injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It also cemented my passion for helping people who may feel limited by their bodies discover that they can move with freedom and strength.Over the years, I’ve pursued advanced certifications in scoliosis, injury rehabilitation, and special populations, along with specialized training in anatomy, barre, TRX, fascia, and Bellicon (mini trampoline). I’m also currently expanding my expertise through certifications in personal training and nutrition coaching, because I believe true wellness is about supporting the whole person—not just the workout.At Form Pilates, I offer one-on-one coaching and small group classes intentionally capped at five participants. This way, you get the benefit of focused, individualized attention while still being part of a welcoming, encouraging community. My goal is to help you learn proper form, understand your body, and progress safely—while keeping sessions engaging and enjoyable.Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a condition, or simply looking to feel stronger and more connected, I’ll meet you exactly where you are. My clients often tell me they appreciate not just the results they gain, but also the supportive, fun environment I create. Pilates has the power to change the way you move through life—and I’d be honored to share that journey with you.

Alison Mccarn Apprentice INSTRUCTOR
I've always loved being active, but injuries over the years made it hard to build consistent strength and stay pain-free. When I discovered Pilates, something clicked. It reminded me of the physical therapy that had helped me in the past, but it offered even more-strength, balance, and a sense of empowerment I hadn't felt in years. I decided to pursue a rigorous 500-hour comprehensive program through Pearl Pilates in Bend, OR.
Pilates has helped me become stronger both physically and mentally. It's eased my pain, supported my recovery, and allowed me to return to the things I love-like hiking and skiing —with confidence and joy.
Now, I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and fun space where others can experience those same benefits and feel good in their bodies—no matter where they're starting from.
