Balanced Body Pilates Mat & Reformer Authorized Training Center

Dr. Carrie A. Lamb, PT, DPT, OCS

Dr. Carrie Lamb is a studio owner and board-certified orthopedic physical therapist with over 20 years in practice. Additionally, she is a CoreAlign Master Instructor, an experienced Pilates instructor, and a graduate of the eCornell and T. Colin Campbell program in plant-based nutrition. She has experience treating a wide variety of orthopedic issues and enjoys working with athletes of all ages and abilities. Her Pilates training is eclectic with certifications from Polestar and Balanced Body. These two comprehensive programs combined with her physical therapy background and influences from more classical training programs have transformed Carrie’s understanding of the integration of mind, body and movement. She is passionate about empowering people to optimize their movement and fully engage with the world around them. Carrie earned a Master’s of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 2000 and competed her transition Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Regis University in May of 2012. Since that time, Carrie’s practice has taken her from Portland, OR to Aspen, CO, and now to Evergreen, CO which she is happy to call home. In April of 2012 she became a Core Align Master Instructor after years of coursework and practice. Her passion for this apparatus grows with each class she teaches as new possibilities are continually discovered. She then had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Balanced Body as they re-designed the CoreAlign curriculum. Despite her love of movement education, her favorite job is that of wife of her fantastic husband and mother to her three beautiful children. She enjoys running, cycling, hiking, skiing, gardening…any opportunity there is to get outside with her family and enjoy all that Colorado has to offer.

Lindy Royer, PT, NCPT, BBMI

Lindy is an Aussie transplant now living in Colorado. She is a graduate in Physiotherapy from the acclaimed Cumberland College of Health Sciences in Sydney, Australia, and practiced as a staff Physiotherapist at Sydney Hospital before moving to Colorado to pursue her love of skiing. After spending several years in Steamboat Springs as a Professional Ski Patroller, Lindy returned to the practice of outpatient Physical Therapy in 1987, specializing in sports medicine, back and neck pain, post surgical rehabilitation and injuries of the shoulder, knee, ankle and foot. Since then, she has received training and certification in several manual therapy techniques, Neuro-structural Integration Technique, The Pilates Method and The Franklin Method. After receiving her Pilates certification, Lindy began to explore a body/mind approach to health, fitness and rehabilitation, which produced faster and more lasting results in her patients. This led to the founding of Park Meadows Pilates and Physical Therapy in 2005. Over the last decade, Lindy has developed a unique therapeutic program that combines education, movement science, awareness and imagery to restore balance to the whole body for natural healing. Lindy enjoys spending time with her husband and two teenage boys, skiing, hiking, rafting, and appreciating the Colorado outdoors.

What our students are saying about the Balanced Body Education Program

“So thankful to have been able to take this course with Carrie Lamb. She is by far, the best instructor - challenging but fair, always available for questions and concerns, so knowledgeable and truly passionate about teaching her students.”

“I found the course material and the philosophy behind it highly practical, accessible and easy to connect with other treatment modalities I use. There was so much to appreciate about Lindy’s teaching style - she presented complex and exciting ideas in a way that was easy to digest, cut through so many old/bad ideas, and was very engaging along the way.”

“I have been attending Workshops for 12 years. Carrie Lamb is by far the best teacher I have had the honor of taking a class from! Her genuine way of teaching & knowledge is very unique! Her approach and her passion is what I love and inspired me to continue to promote mindful movement in my own studio!”

“Lindy was so great teaching not only to her live audience but also to those of us who were joining via Zoom. Not all of us are able to travel for 3 day courses so Zoom makes this type of education much more affordable.”

Balanced Body Education FAQs

Check out their website at www.pilates.com to browse their catalog and understand the different pathways that can be taken. If you’d like to schedule time to call and discuss further, please CONTACT US, and one of our educators will set up a call with you.

  • You can find a complete listing and explanations of the different Balanced Body Education programs by visiting their website at www.pilates.com. We recommend scheduling a call with one of our educators to discuss your specific interests and goals so we can help guide you in program selection. If you would like to set up a call, please CONTACT US by email, and someone will get back to you to set up a time.

  • Yes! One of the many strengths of the Balanced Body program is that they allow you to bite off small chunks at a time and earn certifications on individual aspects of training vs the entire system.

  • At this time, we do not offer the full comprehensive training program but offer many classes that count towards this certification. Stay tuned as we are working towards this program and hope to be fully certified by the state of CO by 2025.

  • The rehabilitation curriculum is the newest education offering from Balanced Body. Both of our educators served as advisors during the development of this coursework and are well versed in both the traditional courses and this newer line.

    The course is designed for clinicians who are licensed in their professions such as PTs, Chiropractors, Athletic Trainers, etc. One of the main differences is that we spend less time reviewing basic principles and anatomy and more time on application of the exercises to a clinical situation.

    We review common issues faced in the rehab world and talk about how to adapt and apply the curriculum to those situations. That means the expectation is that students who attend the rehab based courses have a strong foundation in anatomy and movement and are looking to train their eye and apply the exercises and concepts learned into a clinical scenario.

    Additionally, these courses focus more on one on one instruction vs programming for a group class. If you have more questions and would like help deciding what pathway is right for you, please email us at education@movementconnectsus.co and we’ll be happy to set up a time to talk.

  • Because each state is autonomous when it comes to CEU’s for PTs this is not a simple question. Balanced Body Education is working to get pre-approval in states where this is an option. If you are a PT and take one of our courses taught by a PT, you will be able to submit your course certificate for approval. If your state requires any additional information to accompany your submission, we are happy to provide that to you as well. In Colorado, we have not had any students be denied Category 1 credit when audited.

  • Sometimes these classes can be appropriate. Please CONTACT US to discuss your individual case and we can help you make a decision that best fits your needs and experience level.

  • You can apply any of the 16 hour Rehab focused classes towards a certification in that apparatus or towards a comprehensive Pilates certification. At this time, there is not a specific certification for the Rehabilitation program but that option is currently being discussed by the Balanced Body Education team.

  • All of our trainings are currently offered at 420 Corporate Circle, Suite M Golden, CO 80401.

    In addition, all courses are available in a live, online format via Zoom to accommodate students who may not be able to travel for classes. Please know that if you plan to attend via Zoom, you will need access to the apparatus you are studying for the entirety of class.
