Finding Mind-Body Connection Through Pilates: Meet Ashton Dearman

Jan 27, 2025 10:12AM ● By Lauren Pope

At The Pilates House in Zachary, instructor Ashton Dearman brings a thoughtful approach to movement and wellness. After discovering Pilates in 2023, Dearman transitioned from traditional weightlifting to focus exclusively on Pilates practice.

Her teaching philosophy emphasizes the crucial connection between mind and movement. "Moving our bodies can be challenging but it doesn't have to be," says Dearman. She structures classes to help students develop deeper muscle awareness, introducing exercises incrementally to build confidence and proper form.

Dearman's method focuses on breaking maladaptive movement patterns, guiding students to lead with their minds rather than momentum. She teaches evening classes at 6 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
