About Mackie
Short Bio
Mackie Gardner founded the Mackie Method™, LLC in 2012 to bring reformer pilates to clients of all levels seeking a high quality of life and self transformation. Mackie created her method after she completed BASI ProBridge schooling where she studied directly under renowned BASI founder Rael Isacowitz.
Mackie Method™ was created to offer pilates to anyone seeking to build strength, balance and flexibility while improving focus, improving posture, eliminating chronic pain, strengthening the immune system and improving mood. Mackie pays special attention to the healing power of breath work. Mackie began her wellness journey three decades ago studying nutrition at Simmons college while attending hot yoga classes to improve her genetic spinal condition of degenerative disc disorder and early onset stenosis.
Her yoga practice led her to try pilates which was an immediate salve to her chronic spinal condition. This was the catalyst that inspired Mackie to build Mackie Method™, a thirty session chronological pilates practice focused on transforming the physical self while bringing joy to the emotional self. Mackie has trained many influential dancers, athletes and entertainers yet her favorite clients are those trying pilates for the first time. Her pilates career has extended from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to the East Coast.
Mackie offers a 450-hour Pilates Teacher Training certification program twice per year. Mackie’s passionate love for learning fuels her desire to continually educate herself with the goal of bringing positive change to her clients by improving the mind-body connection through the use of Mackie Method™.
