I am so incredibly excited to announce the opening of REBEL PILATES, my new boutique Pilates Studio in Pearland, Texas! It is my hope to serve and influence a healthier and close-knit community by offering worldclass personalized private and semi-private Pilates training on state-of the art equipment, small group Mat classes using a variety of small and medium sized accessories, and small group equipment-based circuit training to advanced students.
What sets Rebel Pilates Apart?
My vision is to help people HOLISTICALLY find restoration for their bodies and minds using movement, nutrition, and lifestyle modalities. My approach to teaching Pilates is meant to be restorative, gentle, and healing. This does not mean the routines won't be challenging and that you can't reach the highest potential of performance. It means that instead of focusing on achieving the sweat, burn, and weight loss, my goal is teach you to focus on what your body needs. Your body prefers to be in a state of calm, rest, and digest rather than in fight or flight. When your body gets what it needs, it knows how to heal. This includes weight management. You will learn how to move efficiently and smartly to achieve better results than over exerting and pushing that only leads to fatigue and burnout. And with intentional small group training it allows you to practice Pilates safely and allows the instructors to ensure each member receives appropriate alignment adjustment and movement correction.
Imagine feeling stronger with improved posture, more toned, greater mobility and flexibility, less pain, a sense of greater balance; achieving your goals with a method that can transform your body if you stick to it! Do it the right way and you can.
Who is Pilates for?
The answer is: EVERYONE. Depending on your health status, needs and desires, we will work with you to determine if private instruction, group Mat classes, or both are best suited to you. We work with those from dancers and athletes to those with severe limiting conditions. Our Pilates services are fitness based and physical therapy based.
And to enhance your fitness goals, Rebel Pilates wants to holistically transform your health by offering one-on-one and group health coaching and functional nutrition counseling to those who want to change their overall lifestyle. You will learn about how, when, and what to eat, discover the root causes to chronic and mysterious health issues including pain, fatigue, sleeplessness, digestive issues, weight related issues, autoimmune diseases, and others. You will receive tailored nutrition and lifestyle protocols that are specific to your needs, requirements, and goals.
~ Nancy Burns
The Pilates discipline and method is a very gentle and low impact form of strength training. It emphasizes correct form rather than an intense burn. It strengthens the body's core and provides:
-
Strength
-
Toned body
-
Muscular endurance
-
Mobility & flexibility
-
Coordination
-
Balance
-
Improved posture
-
Improved breathing
-
Less pain
-
Longer leaner muscles instead of the bulk.
-
Pilates can be done every day because it doesn't tear the muscle like other forms of high intensity strength conditioning.
What we specialize in and who we serve:
-
Dancers and fitness enthusiasts with a desire to improve performance and technique.
-
Those with injuries or rehab patients
-
Those with limitations
-
Pre and postpartum conditions such as diastasis recti, prolapse, and general pelvic floor weakness.
-
Those with osteoporosis
Why is Pilates so good?
Private Pilates
-
I offer private Pilates lessons using state of the art apparatuses including the Merrithew Reformer & Tower, Stability Chair, Arc Barrel, Spine Corrector, and the TRX Suspension Strap. I also use various large and small props to support and enhance the experience.
-
Sessions are 1 hour long
-
I require an initial 20-minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together.
-
Before your first session, you will fill out a short intake form that will provide me with your health history and fitness goals.
-
Your first session will include a postural assesment. Based on that, our discussion, and the information from the intake form, I will create a customized Pilates program uniquely suited to your needs.
Fascial Movement
Using various props and highly specialized movements and exercises, bring back health and hydration to your fascial system. research shows that myofascial pain may originate within the fascial tissue more than the muscle itself. Fascia is the connective tissue that covers muscles, joints, and organs; it is pretty much all over our bodies. When we are stuck, tight, or in pain in one region of the body, it effects the entire body. It may even effect your posture and movement patterns. Have a 'knot' on top of your shoulder? Those are adhesions that have formed in the fascia. The goal is to bring suppleness and balance back to the fascia in order to improve optimal function, mobility and performance. Incorporating fascial work is a great way to compliment your Pilates or fitness routine.
Fascial work is integrated within the group mat class as well as in private lessons.
To learn about private fascial training, please call 713-913-4599 or book a free consultation to see if we are a good match to work together.
TRX Suspension Training
Using the TRX® suspension trainer, you are using your own body weight. This is a fabulous way to feel deep connection in your core and get a challenging full body Pilates inspired workout using the TRX straps. Lessons are private and follow the same price, registration, and programming as regular Pilates lessons. Please book a free consultation to see if we are a good match to work together.

FAQs
What types of Pilates classes do you offer at Rebel Pilates?
We currently offer group Mat Pilates classes and private Pilates equipment lessons. Our One hour classes and lessons are designed to be accessible, empowering, and rooted in mind-body connection. All instruction is led by highly trained professionals who tailor the experience to your goals and needs.
What is the difference between Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates?
Mat Pilates is performed on the floor using a Pilates or yoga mat and sometimes small, medium, and large props like resistance bands, balls, or rings. It emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and alignment using your own body weight as resistance.
Reformer or equipment Pilates, commonly found in other studios, uses a spring-based apparatus (the Reformer and Stability Chair, etc. ) to add variable resistance and support. While both methods stem from the same principles, Mat Pilates builds foundational strength and awareness, often making it a better entry point for beginners and a valuable complement to equipment-based work.
At Rebel Pilates, we believe mastering the mat is key to progressing in the Pilates method.
Do you offer group Reformer classes?
We do not offer group Reformer classes. Instead, we provide private equipment sessions using a Reformer, Tower, Stability Chair, Spine Corrector, and TRX Suspension Trainer. These one-on-one sessions allow us to fully tailor the workout to your body, needs, and goals—something that isn’t always possible in a group Reformer setting.
I’ve heard Pilates is hard and I’m a little intimidated. Is it really for me?
Absolutely—Pilates is for every body, and at Rebel Pilates, we meet you exactly where you are. While Pilates can be challenging, that’s actually part of what makes it so transformative—but it should never feel scary or inaccessible.
At Rebel Pilates, we focus on teaching the foundations first: proper alignment, breathing, and core engagement. We break movements down in a way that helps you understand and feel what your body is doing, so you can progress safely and confidently.
Whether you’re walking into your very first class or returning after years away, you'll be supported with thoughtful cueing, personalized corrections, and modifications tailored to your body. We’re here to guide—not push—you through your Pilates journey.
I have some physical limitations—can I still do Pilates?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, Pilates is one of the most effective and supportive movement systems for people with injuries, chronic conditions, or special considerations.
Whether you're dealing with joint issues, a hip or knee replacement, osteoporosis, scoliosis, diastasis recti, or are in the pre/postpartum phase, you're in the right hands at Rebel Pilates. This is Nancy’s specialty—she has extensive experience working with a wide range of special populations and modifying the Pilates method to meet individual needs safely and effectively.
We strongly recommend starting with private equipment sessions if you have significant limitations or are in recovery. These one-on-one sessions allow us to assess your movement patterns, build a safe foundation, and guide you through exercises tailored specifically to your condition and goals. From there, you may also feel confident joining group classes with appropriate modifications.
You're never just a body in a class here—you're seen, supported, and empowered.
What do I do, privates or group classes?
Both formats offer unique benefits, and many clients find that combining them creates the most balanced and effective practice.
Group Mat Pilates classes are performed on the floor using your own body weight and small props like resistance bands or balls. These classes focus on building core strength, mobility, and overall body awareness. You’ll move through carefully sequenced exercises that challenge your stability, coordination, and control—all in a supportive group setting. While these classes are open to all levels, you will receive personalized attention and modifications to suit your needs.
Private Pilates equipment sessions, on the other hand, are one-on-one and fully customized to your body, goals, and movement patterns. Using the Reformer, Tower, Stability Chair, and other classical apparatus, these sessions offer spring-based resistance and support. This allows for more targeted strengthening, deeper alignment work, and faster progress—especially for those dealing with injuries, imbalances, or specific goals.
While group Mat classes build solid foundational strength and encourage consistency, private equipment sessions offer a deeper dive into technique and personalization. For best results, we recommend doing both. Mat classes help maintain regular movement and community, while privates ensure you're progressing safely and efficiently with expert guidance.
Do I need to sign up for a membership?
Nope—no membership is required. We offer flexible options like drop-in rates, class packs, and private session bundles, so you can pay as you go and choose what works best for your schedule and goals.
That said, if you're planning to attend regularly, a Rebel Pilates membership offers the best value and consistency. Here’s why:
-
Lower per-class rate compared to drop-ins or packs
-
Priority booking for limited-capacity classes
-
Accountability and routine that helps you stay committed to your practice
-
Exclusive perks (like discounts on private sessions, workshops, or wellness services
Memberships are perfect for anyone looking to make Pilates a regular part of their lifestyle and experience deeper results over time.
I’m a beginner. Where should I start?
You're in the right place! If you are interested in private training, our Intro Pack (3 private equipment sessions for $195) or our New Client Ultimate Pilates and Nutrition Bundle (3 private equipment sessions, 4 group mat classes, and one hour of nutrition counseling/coaching for $267) is the perfect way to get started. You’ll learn the fundamentals of Pilates in a one-on-one setting, which prepares you to confidently join our group Mat classes or continue with personalized training.
If you’re interested in jumping into group Mat classes, don’t worry—all of our classes are all levels, and each person receives the appropriate corrections and modifications to suit their body, experience, and goals. Whether you're brand new or have years of movement behind you, you'll be supported every step of the way.
How many people are in your group Mat classes?
We keep our Mat classes intentionally small—usually between 4 to 8 participants—to ensure every client gets individualized guidance and quality instruction.
What should I bring to class?
Just bring yourself, comfortable clothes you can move in, grippy socks, and a water bottle. We provide mats and props, but you're welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer. We also provide water if you forget yours.
Great! Here's the updated version of the FAQ entry with a warm and clear **call-to-action** at the end to guide interested visitors toward your offerings:
Why does combining Pilates and nutrition work better than doing either one alone?
At Rebel Pilates, we believe that true wellness happens when movement and nourishment work together. Our functional nutrition programs and Pilates offerings are deeply connected through a holistic, root-cause approach to health.
While Pilates strengthens your body from the inside out—improving posture, mobility, core strength, and nervous system regulation—our nutrition coaching addresses what's happening internally: digestion, inflammation, hormone balance, energy, and more.
Together, they create a powerful synergy. For example:
* Struggling with bloating or fatigue? Nutrition can address the cause while Pilates helps regulate your nervous system and improve circulation.
* Dealing with inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or hormonal shifts? Nutrition helps lower internal stress while movement supports lymphatic flow and joint health.
* Navigating pre/postpartum changes or perimenopause? Both nutrition and Pilates can help your body adapt and heal in a sustainable way.
This whole-person approach is what makes Rebel Pilates truly unique. You don’t have to choose between fitness and wellness—you can have both, in one place, with support that honors your body and your life.

What is fascia, and why does it matter in how I move and feel?
Fascia is the body’s connective tissue web—an intricate, three-dimensional network that surrounds and supports your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. Think of it like a full-body suit under your skin that holds everything together and helps your body move as a unified whole.
When fascia becomes tight, restricted, or dehydrated—due to injury, poor posture, inflammation, or stress—it can lead to chronic pain, movement dysfunction, and even emotional holding patterns.
At Rebel Pilates, we integrate fascial release techniques directly into your sessions. That includes:
-
Targeted movement sequences that hydrate and mobilize the fascia
-
Breath work and stretch-based flows that release tension patterns
-
Gentle myofascial cues and hands-on guidance during private sessions
-
And education around how to move more fluidly in everyday life
This kind of fascial-informed Pilates helps you feel more connected, spacious, and aligned—not just stronger. It's one of the key reasons our clients experience lasting change and relief from pain and restriction -- It's what sets Rebel Pilates apart from the rest!
