What started as a small way for us to give back during holiday time in 2014 has become a much-loved and rewarding tradition for the Bend Pilates team and our clients. We hope you’ll join us for our fourth annual Thanksgiving Day Donation Mat Class on Thursday, November 23, from 10 to 11 a.m. This restorative and balancing class will be taught by our new instructor, Ali Risdon, and is a mindful and healthy way to kick off your holiday.

Our Thanksgiving Day Donation Mat Class is appropriate for all levels of fitness and experience, and it’s a great way to try Pilates if you’ve not yet had the chance. Simply sign up here, and once you’re at at the Bend Pilates studio on Thanksgiving morning, you choose the amount you’d like to donate in exchange for an hour of certified Pilates instruction. Best of all, the proceeds from our Thanksgiving Day Donation Mat Class go to NeighborImpact in Bend.

We are grateful for the support of this special fundraising mat class, which sells out every year, and encourage you to save your spot here. You can also RSVP on Facebook here. Can’t make the event? Feel free to drop your non-perishable food donations off at Bend Pilates and we’ll make sure they get to NeighborImpact.
