Meet The Team
Maggie Jones
Owner, Front Desk, Teacher + Balanced Body Master Eductaor
With a passion for dance ignited at the age of six, Maggie's early exploration of movement laid the foundation for her deep understanding of the body. This passion naturally evolved into a deep dive at the University of California Santa Barbara, where she earned a BFA in Dance alongside a minor in Exercise and Health Science. The stage then beckoned, and Maggie spent time performing professionally in Los Angeles, honing her understanding of the body in motion.

Driven deeper into the mechanics of movement and a desire to understand the body on a different level, Maggie worked as a Physical Therapy Aide, gaining invaluable insight into the nuances of pain, injury, and rehabilitation. This experience seamlessly led her to the world of Pilates, where she earned her first teaching certification through BASI Pilates under the expert guidance of Karen Clippinger. Further solidifying her expertise in the realm of recovery and movement, Maggie then spent years teaching Pilates within a chiropractic and physical therapy office. This immersive experience allowed her to work closely with individuals navigating a wide range of physical challenges, truly honing her ability to tailor sessions and adjust exercises for successful outcomes.
Upon moving to Texas in 2017, Maggie became an integral part of the ALIGN Pilates team in Austin, working alongside the amazing Brooke Bowersock. This pivotal experience eventually led to a referral into the prestigious Master Educator Program at Balanced Body. Now, Maggie shares her expertise by teaching Teacher Training at the ALIGN teacher training center, an Authorized Training Center for Balanced Body.
Known for her sharp eye for detail, the supportive touch of her hands-on guidance, and her clear and encouraging cues, Maggie creates a challenging yet accessible class environment. She effortlessly guides everyone from beginners taking their first steps to advanced practitioners seeking deeper understanding. With a genuine curiosity about Joseph Pilates himself and the stories behind his exercises, Maggie weaves both classical foundations and contemporary insights into her teaching. You can find her sharing her passion and knowledge in both our Classical and Contemporary classes.
