Fill Your Cup
Prayers and Pilates is a Christian-based, locally owned an operated studio featuring reformer Pilates classes and light therapy saunas, located in Roanoke, Texas.
Erica Carter, owner of Prayers and Pilates, envisioned a welcoming space where anyone and everyone can escape from the troubles of the world and to find gratitude for all of God’s blessings. These blessings include being grateful for our bodies the way that God made them and strengthening them with the movements of Pilates and light therapy wellness.
“I fell in love with Pilates 3 years ago when I attended my first class with a girlfriend. Before Pilates I attended a fitness program that I found to be a wonderful all-over workout, however, I generally left the workouts with knee pain due to the terrain we worked out on. After 6 months of attending Pilates classes on the reformer, I realized I was sculpting muscles I forgot I had along with building a stronger core than ever before. It was at this time I realized I wanted to share the benefits of Pilates with family and friends and started the teacher training. 500 hours later, I received my comprehensive certification for mat, reformer, Cadillac Pilates.
In order to find time to practice the workouts, I bought a reformer to work out with at home. Not the easiest task to do with 3 little boys (ages 3, 7, 11) running around! However, what I found is that they loved Pilates just as much as I did. It was something that happened organically but it became our little sanctuary inside our home. More magical than young boys having fun working out, I found that the room turned into a place where we felt balanced and grateful together and we made it a room where we could drown out the world and pray and talk to God together. It really does something special to a parent to see their 8 year old lying on a reformer in the butterfly position closing their eyes and thanking God for his family. That is how our little 13 X 10 guest bedroom quickly garnered the name Prayers and Pilates. When we knew we wanted to share this experience with others, picking the name of our family business was the easiest thing we would do.”
