Q & A with Erica

What is the single biggest reason you continue to choose Seed Studio over other options?

I keep going back to Seed Studio because I love the welcoming environment that the instructors create for each class. They’re so attuned to detail and form while making sure the space stays accepting, judgment-free, and fun. I always leave feeling like I’ve reconnected with my body in a way that carries into the rest of the day.

As a therapist, I spend a lot of time helping others stay grounded. But Pilates at Seed is where I get to do that for myself. It’s not just a workout; it’s a practice that steadies me physically, mentally, and emotionally. It helps me reset and reconnect with mindful presence in a way that feels restorative rather than depleting.

Other studios I’ve tried can feel competitive, overly serious, or just so crowded that you lose that sense of connection. At Seed, it’s the opposite. The classes are intentional, the instruction is personal, and the atmosphere always feels warm and human. It’s rare to find a studio that balances attention to technique with genuine care in such an authentic way.

What is the single biggest reason you continue to choose Seed Studio over other options?

I usually tell people that I leave feeling grounded and refreshed. It’s a mix of calm and energy that’s hard to find anywhere else: strong but centred, alert but relaxed. Even when I walk out into a busy day, that sense of steadiness stays with me.

What stands out most is how present I feel. As someone who is naturally restless and always on the move, Pilates at Seed is one of the few spaces where I’m not multitasking or rushing through something. I’m just fully in it. That presence carries into the rest of my day, and I notice myself moving, thinking, and even breathing differently because of it.

How has Pilates changed the way you feel while sitting at your desk during the workday?

Pilates has completely changed how I feel in my body throughout the day. I used to spend hours hunched over my computer without realizing how much tension I was holding. While I still catch myself slouching at times, I’m much more aware of it now and can correct it before it starts to take a toll. My posture feels steadier and more natural, and I notice that I hold myself with less strain and more ease. Even when work is busy, I find myself taking moments to focus on my breathing or making subtle adjustments in how I’m sitting that help me reset. Over time, it feels like my body has learned how to stay more balanced and calm, even during long or stressful days.

    “The SEED team has taught me so much more than how to move and hold myself more mindfully - they’ve taught me consistency and the power of small actions that lead to truly big results. I began the year after two back-to-back C-sections, determined to take my healing into my own hands and work on my abdominal separation. Since January 1st, I’ve been coming 3–5 times a week, every single week - it's incredible what you can manage when you schedule your classes as if they're a meeting you'd never cancel. What I’ve found at The Seed Studio is far beyond physical healing. Thank you Team SEED!”

The owner and every single instructor are not only highly knowledgeable, but also genuinely invested in helping each client grow in their practice. They take the time to understand individual needs and always offer thoughtful guidance and adjustments. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, you'll feel both challenged and cared for. I'm so grateful to have found this place—it's a gem.”

    “Danielle is the most real, empowering superhuman you’ll ever meet. She’s not only an incredible RMT and Pilates instructor, but also one of the hardest working women I know. Her humor, authenticity, and energy make every session feel both inspiring and fun. She pushes me to be better in the best way possible, and I always leave feeling stronger, physically and mentally.”

    “I started doing one on one sessions with both Danielle and Heather while I was slowly recovering from my twin pregnancy. From there I "graduated" to the beginner classes and eventually to the intermediate classes. I am now officially hooked! I can feel myself getting stronger with every class. The instructors are so awesome and are very careful to ensure you have good form and are doing all the moves correctly. Don't be intimidated by the reformers - the instructors are great about modifying certain moves and working with any limitations or injuries you might have. I highly recommend Seed Studio!

    “Seed Studio has been such a lovely addition to the Squamish community. Not only are the instructors of high quality, they are also warm, attentive and fun! They've taught me how to be more mindful of how I move in my body. My posture and flexibility have improved and I feel more grounded overall as well. Can't recommend Seed Studio enough. I am so grateful for this space!”
