Taught by
Dr. Niia Bishop
A scholarship dancer, PhD, and the creator of Mamilates — her original Mommy & Me Pilates format — Dr. Bishop built this curriculum from lived experience, academic rigor, and two decades in maternal movement.
She doesn't teach what she read. She teaches what she discovered when Pilates helped her move differently in a body that years of professional dance had worn down.
