Hi there,
Thank you for visiting Restoration Pilates and Wellness! My name is Jenna Jones , Owner and Lead Instructor here at our Shallotte studio.
I have been a Pilates Instructor for the past 6 years and originally opened the remote Mat Pilates side of my business in 2022, formerly named Seaside Pilates, to honor how the practice of Mat Pilates, specifically, had really changed my life.
Pilates is a method developed in the early 1920’s by Joseph Pilates and was originally called, Contrology. By connecting the mind to the body and the body to the breath, Pilates offers an opportunity for total transformation of mind, body and soul. I came into the practice back in 2019, on the eve of a pandemic I never saw coming. Finding myself facing one obstacle after another while being excruciatingly far from many friends and all of my family, at times, seemed unbearable.
I began Pilates Teacher Training with Club Pilates while holding the position of GM at a brand new studio in March of 2020. With my reformer studio closed and remote classes the only option, I pushed to finish my Teacher Training primarily on the mat -- using all of the information passed to me from my mentor instructors about how the method could be applied to any body, anywhere! And that is where everything changed. Never in my life did I imagine my personal, professional or spiritual life being in such disarray shortly after the pandemic’s onset, but I took it ALL to the mat.
I gave myself the gift of breath, of movement, of joy, of release, of time … the list goes on and on … all on the MAT.
Sometimes I did Pilates on the mat to a video, sometimes with folks live on zoom— sometimes with my camera on—sometimes with my camera off sobbing. I came to the mat no matter what. Tired, angry, scared, joyful, excited, unsure … whatever the wind blew in by way of emotions, anything and everything found it’s way on the mat.

Tired, angry, scared, joyful, excited, unsure … whatever the wind blew in by way of emotions, anything and everything found it’s way on the mat.
Shortly after finishing my Teacher Training, and earning my 500-Hour Comprehensive Certification, I jumped into teaching Reformer Pilates full time and have since taught over 6000 sessions across 12 different Club Pilates locations, private classical studios and have trained clients both in one-on-one and remote settings.
I truly believe that the practice of Pilates, with its focus on optimizing spine health through core strengthening, has the ability to reshape a person from the inside out.
Coupled with the support and love of your Pilates community, the sky is really the limit and now Restoration Pilates and Wellness is opening as a brick and mortar studio space in Shallotte, NC in April of 2026!
I am eager to share my love of Pilates with you -- whether balance is your biggest challenge and you've never seen a reformer before or you have been practicing on the reformer for years but are unable to find a community that really lifts you up-- no matter what level student you are it would be my pleasure to work with you and bring you into the Restoration community!
