Jess Hooper | Pilates Instructor
@stuffjesslikes.bsky.social
Classically trained Pilates instructor. Exploring life in LA, career pivots, middle school parenting, and the everyday moments that shape us—plus plenty of Pilates.
My new favorite hobby is watching new clients come in for “reformer Pilates” and watching their faces when we get off the reformer and onto the ladder barrel, spine corrector, or Cadillac. It's all #Pilates; they all play nicely together.

Every week, I work with clients who have hesitations about trying Pilates, doubts about their bodies, and fears of failing at something new. A note on betting on yourself when things feel uncertain (and making friends along the way).
When Everything Feels Uncertain, Bet on Yourself
The hardest part is trusting yourself to try. The rest comes slowly, in the small wins: a deeper breath, a lighter step, a moment when your body feels like its own again.

Things that have come up in this week's Pilates sessions include dating woes, negative self-talk, appreciation for learning new things, grief/loss of a parent, and excitement over becoming a grandparent while being disappointed in how it came to be.

People bring a lot into our hour together
