Specialties
At Third Coast Pilates we continue to teach the original classical, New York Studio style of Pilates and have for twenty-nine years. We offer private and semi-private sessions in either the restorative (soft) or stimulating (hard) styles in a friendly, casual, non-competitive environment. All our instructors are certified Pilates teachers who continue to expand their knowledge of the rehabilitation and physical conditioning techniques of the Pilates method through in-house training with studio owner and Master Teacher, Joe Teague.
Whether your intention is to change your shape, alleviate pain, improve your game, or just have a fun and interesting workout, you will find it all here at Third Coast Pilates. While helping you to realize your personal goal, ours will be to improve your kinesthetic awareness, posture, flexibility, strength, muscular endurance, balance, co-ordination, and aerobic fitness.
History
Established in 1988.
Third Coast Pilates was started by Joe Teague in 1988. Joe was a professional ballet dancer who after retiring went in to the business of building custom homes. While using the Pilates Method to rehabilitate a back injury Joe found his second calling, and has never looked back.
Joe was one of the first 100 teachers of the Pilates Method in the U.S.A., and is considered a second generation teacher, having been trained by the Pilates Elders Romana Kryzanowska, Eve Gentry, Ron Fletcher, Carola Triers, Kathy Grant, Alan Herdman, and Lolita San Miguel.
