HEY ISU + CHAARG!Â
SO GLAD YOU MOVED WITH ME.
As an Iowa State alum, getting to come back to campus and share my Core Athletica® Method with you is pretty special.
And if today's workout left you thinking...
I want more of this.
I want to understand my body better.
I could actually see myself teaching this someday.
You're in the right place.
Whether you want workouts you can do between classes, you're hungry to learn more about movement, or you want to grab your friends and come experience Pilates Reformer in person — here are a few ways we can keep moving + learning together.
Strength isn't just about how much you can lift. It's about how well your body can move, adapt, and support you so you can keep doing the things you love. ~Erica

LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THE BODY?

Maybe you're studying kinesiology, health, fitness, physical therapy, nursing or another health-related field.
Or maybe today's workout simply made you realize...
There's a LOT more to movement than I thought.
That's exactly why I created my Core Athletica® Movement Specialist education.
Instead of simply memorizing exercises, you'll start learning how to see and understand movement differently.
You'll dive deeper into:
Fascia + Deep Core + Pelvic Floor + Breath + Posture + Movement Patterns + Compensations
…and how everything works together.

Instructor Training Info HereHi, I'm Erica
Long before Core Athletica® existed, I was an Iowa State student too.
I graduated from ISU with my degree in Health & Human Performance and went on to build a career around something I've always been fascinated by:
How Movement Can Improve Your Quality of Life!
For more than 20 years, I've been teaching thousands of women and movement professionals how to better understand the body through Pilates, fascia, functional strength, mobility, breath, posture, and deep core + pelvic floor connection.
Today, Core Athletica® includes my Pilates studio in Ankeny, online movement programs, Movement Specialist education + comprehensive Pilates Instructor Training, The Core Connections Podcast and Health Coaching.
But at the heart of all of it is something pretty simple:
The more you understand your body, the more intentional you can become with how you move it => making your workouts more effective in less time!
And hopefully today's workout gave you just a little taste of that.
KEEP MOVING. KEEP LEARNING. STAY CURIOUS.
I'm so glad you're here.
— Erica Ziel
