Brooke Bowersock is the founder of ALIGN Pilates Studios and a lifelong student of intelligent movement. She discovered Pilates in 1999 and quickly experienced how thoughtful, well-taught movement could change not just how the body feels—but how a person lives in it. After completing her Pilates certification, Brooke opened one of Austin’s early Pilates studios in 2004. As Pilates grew in popularity, she noticed an important shift: while interest in Pilates increased, the depth of education, consistency of training, and standards for safety varied widely. That observation shaped everything that followed. In 2013, Brooke founded ALIGN Pilates Studios to create a different kind of Pilates space—one rooted in education, integrity, and care for both clients and teachers. A place where Pilates is taught with intention, where learning is ongoing, and where people can trust the instruction they’re receiving. Brooke has served as a Balanced Body® Master Educator since 2016, working within one of the world’s leading Pilates education organizations. Through ALIGN’s studios, teacher training programs, and mentorship pathways, she remains deeply committed to developing confident, well-educated instructors and helping clients build sustainable, lifelong movement practices. Through ALIGN Pilates Studios in Austin and Houston, Brooke’s work continues to shape how Pilates is taught, practiced, and passed on to future instructors. ALIGN Pilates Studios is a reflection of that belief—shared with a growing community across Austin and Houston.
