CoreAlign at The Practice Space: Redefining Movement
Perfect for Pilates and Yoga practitioners alike, the CoreAlign is more than just equipment, it’s a tool that supports deeper connection, strength, and dynamic flow in all your movement practices.
At The Practice Space, we’re proud to showcase the CoreAlign, a groundbreaking piece of equipment that seamlessly supports the physical worlds of Pilates and Yoga. Offering a fresh approach to mindful movement, the CoreAlign combines dynamic functionality with focused alignment work, making it a favorite among our students and educators alike. With six units available for small group classes and two reserved for private or semi-private sessions, this innovative apparatus provides a highly personalized and impactful movement experience.
Created by physical therapist Jonathan Hoffman, the CoreAlign was specifically designed to enhance gait, balance, and functional athleticism. Its unique system of sliding carriages banded by tubing resistance, encourages alignment with gravity, helping to refine your biomechanics while strengthening your core and stabilizing muscles. Whether you’re looking to improve movement efficiency, build stability, or take your practice to the next level, the CoreAlign offers an unparalleled opportunity to transform the way you move.
What Makes the CoreAlign Special?
The CoreAlign creates an environment where the bodies innate wisdom becomes the teacher. Its a mysterious experience.
Unlike traditional Pilates or Yoga equipment, the CoreAlign emphasizes bipedal movement, teaching your body not just to control movement, but to sense and respond through an constant feedback loop. This unique apparatus helps your body learn by experience, allowing you to feel how it transitions weight, aligns with gravity, and moves dynamically. Through this process of intrinsic feedback, your nervous system becomes actively engaged, fine-tuning your coordination and control as you adapt to the challenges of the equipment.
Its versatility allows for exercises ranging from lunges and planks to more advanced sequences that mimic real-world activities like walking, running, or skiing. This functionality makes it ideal for athletes, Pilates practitioners, and yoga enthusiasts alike, as it trains not just the muscles but the mind-body connection essential for fluid, efficient movement.
By engaging both the body and the nervous system, the CoreAlign fosters a deeper understanding of movement, encouraging you to feel and adapt rather than simply execute. This makes it an unparalleled tool for cultivating strength, alignment, and mindfulness in all areas of your practice.
For Pilates Enthusiasts: The CoreAlign complements Pilates by focusing on functional weight-bearing movement, lower extremity transitions, and advanced balance work, helping to translate traditional Pilates principles into upright, real-world applications.
For Yoga Practitioners: The CoreAlign introduces dynamic movement that enhances proprioception and strength, offering a unique way to explore alignment, flow, and the relationship between movement and breath.

CoreAlign Class Descriptions
A-Squared
This CoreAlign class brings a fresh approach to arms and abs while redefining how we think about posture and movement. Using the dynamic sliding surfaces of the CoreAlign, you’ll focus on thoracic spine alignment, chest opening, and abdominal strength to combat "tech-neck" and "desk-slouch."
The CoreAlign’s standing and upright format allows you to address postural imbalances while building strength in functional movement patterns. Through mindful exercises, you’ll free your breath, move with greater ease, and reconnect with your upper body’s potential for strength and openness. This isn’t just a workout—it’s a transformative experience designed to align your body and elevate your spirit.
B-Squared
This CoreAlign class redefines B-Squared with a focus on functional movement and standing balance. Using the CoreAlign’s unique sliding surfaces, you’ll engage your glutes (butts) and abdominals (bellies) in ways that mirror real-life movement patterns. This class emphasizes the critical role pelvic health plays in supporting spinal function and movement efficiency, helping to reduce hip tightness, ease low back discomfort, and improve posture. With every class, you’ll build strength, stability, and confidence that carries into daily life.Habit
Using the dynamic CoreAlign equipment, this class focuses on building sustainable and resilient physical habits rooted in functional movement. By blending classical Pilates principles with the CoreAlign’s unique design, you’ll work on spinal health, core stability, and joint organization through upright, real-life movement patterns. This class helps you recognize and refine your body’s baseline, allowing you to move with greater efficiency and strength in everyday tasks. Perfect for those looking to bridge Pilates principles with functional, upright movement.
Balance
The CoreAlign is the perfect tool to explore and redefine balance as a dynamic, functional process. Using its unique sliding surfaces, this class transforms balance training into an engaging, automatic reset for your body. The standing format emphasizes real-world movement patterns, challenging your ability to stay centered through shifts, transitions, and moments of instability.
Spinal mobility, alignment, and resilience are central to this practice, empowering you to embrace the concept that true balance isn’t about standing still—it’s about adapting and recovering with ease. The CoreAlign’s innovative design supports the development of strength, coordination, and confidence, allowing you to move with stability and freedom in every aspect of your life.
Mobilize
Experience Mobilize on the CoreAlign, where functional movement meets dynamic release. Using the CoreAlign’s sliding surfaces, this class focuses on loosening tight joints, hydrating fascia, and restoring balance to your body. The upright and dynamic format challenges coordination while enhancing mobility, making it perfect for real-world movement patterns. You’ll leave class feeling refreshed, aligned, and ready to take on your day with greater freedom and ease.
Reboot
This CoreAlign class is perfect for students recovering from injury, working on standing postural habits, or seeking to refine intrinsic support. Using the CoreAlign’s dynamic sliding surfaces, the focus is on turning down compensatory patterns and activating key intrinsic stabilizers. Exercises are designed to quiet large muscle groups and engage the deep core (transverse abdominis), pelvic floor, and spinal stabilizers (multifidus). Intrinsic work in standing positions adds a functional component, helping students translate these skills into everyday scenarios. This class empowers students to develop new movement strategies and release old habits for greater ease and resilience in daily life.
Sustainable Strength
Sustainable Strength is more than just a workout—it’s the foundation for physiologic change that prepares your body for transformative mental and spiritual practices. This class complements your favorite movement routines by guiding you through mindful exercises that build strength and cultivate mobility in both muscles and joints. By targeting areas of the body that are often reluctant to engage, you’ll create a solid physical base to support deeper experiences.
Ideal for all movement practitioners, this class recognizes that the body is the essential tool we use to connect, explore, and ultimately find liberation. Using a variety of props, resistance tools, and body weight, you’ll strengthen and stabilize your vessel—the body—priming it for greater flow and connection. When the vessel is cared for and aligned, transformative experiences in mind and spirit can arise more fluidly. Sustainable Strength helps you align the physical with the profound, offering a practice that supports you on every level.
Trade-Off
The Trade-Off on the CoreAlign combines biomechanical accuracy with dynamic challenges, offering a workout that feels both functional and traditional. Using the CoreAlign’s sliding surfaces, this class blends shifts in speed, resistance, and coordination to test your balance, stability, and power in upright, real-world movement patterns. Unlike other Pilates equipment, the CoreAlign lends itself to a more classic sense of a workout, making it ideal for high-energy sequences. Expect to see movements like lunges, planks, and even burpees alongside the traditional repertoire.
The class begins with foundational alignment work to set the stage for precise execution and builds into sequences that challenge your ability to stay centered and strong through dynamic transitions. Perfect for those seeking a rigorous, results-driven practice, CoreAlign Trade-Off helps you push your boundaries while maintaining control and precision.
