We had the good fortune of connecting with Jillian Minter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jillian, how does your business help the community?
Our community needs to stay active to stay well. Wellness is an integral part of our physical and mental health. Exercise has so many health benefits and helps us cope with the stress of daily life. Exercise helps you live longer, boosts energy, reduces risk of disease, build strength, the list goes on and on! Pilates and yoga help people stay active and mobile to improve their function for everyday activities. Pilates and yoga are some of the best mindbody exercises there are–which makes them not only good for physical health, but also mental health. When someone takes care of their mental health and wellness they’re able to be a happier, healthier part of their community.
 

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Pilates + Yoga is small, boutique studio with an inclusive community; it’s a place where everyone knows your name. When you walk into the studio you can instantly feel the warmth of the people–literally everyone makes a comment about how wonderful the energy and vibe is. We welcome all levels and strive to make everyone comfortable. I purchased Pilates + Yoga as an existing business, and even though it has been around for years, it was in a very bad place. It took me years to turn it around and as soon as I did, the pandemic hit. Thanks to our amazing instructors and members, we made it through and came back stronger than ever. I don’t know where to even begin with what this business and community has taught me. Pilates + Yoga makes me so proud–of the instructors, the teacher trainees, the members, and the energy we’ve created together.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wouldn’t be able to run my business without my amazing and supportive business partner, Kim Tuthill who co-owns my studio with me. She was a client, turned friend, turned co-worker, turned business partner. I love working with such a fearless female; we truly complement each other so well.
