Susan Bange’s teaching is informed by nearly two decades of experience and a deep commitment to ongoing learning and refinement. She began her Pilates journey in 2009 with a 950-hour Classical Pilates apprenticeship at The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado, under the mentorship of Rachel Taylor Segal and Amy Taylor Alpers. She completed her Bridge certification with Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates® in New York City in 2021, followed by Mejo Wiggin’s Classical Syllabus® in both 2023 and 2025.
Working with Susan is personal, thoughtful, and empowering. Her priority in every session is that clients feel seen, heard, and believed, especially when they arrive in pain or feel uncertain about their bodies. Susan specializes in working with hypermobility, back pain, and sacroiliac pain, and she brings a particular depth of knowledge to helping clients feel confident in bodies that may feel unpredictable. Her sessions are rooted in precision, curiosity, and genuine connection, blending clear, specific cueing with an atmosphere that often includes laughter and lightness. Susan believes that feeling safe and supported is essential to meaningful change and strives to create an environment where clients leave feeling more connected to their bodies.
In addition to working with her own clients, Susan is co-owner of The Pilates Lab, where she leads the teacher training program alongside her business partner, Kristen Davis. Together, Susan and Kristen are trusted hosts of Real Pilates® NYC and are deeply invested in mentoring and supporting teachers at every stage of their development. Through this work, they help shape the next generation of Classical Pilates instructors.
