Welcome to Velvet Core™ Pilates
Meet the Founder, Creator & Pilates Master:
Rebecca Guile
Rebecca Guile is a former professional dancer and longtime Pilates teacher with over 25 years of experience guiding intelligent, body-honoring movement. She earned her BFA in Dance with a minor in Nutrition graduating early to perform on a world cruise with Princess Cruises, then relocating to Las Vegas to perform in major productions, assist choreographers, and tour internationally.
Rebecca later built a thriving dance training ecosystem in Buffalo, founding programs that supported pre-professional dancers in both artistry and longevity. Her students have gone on to perform with The Rockettes, in Broadway productions as lead roles, international ballet companies, major music tours, and on-screen projects—earning over $500k in scholarships to top programs including Juilliard, USC, Pace, ASU, and Purchase.
Pilates has been the consistent foundation of Rebecca’s methodology—used not just for conditioning, but for alignment, injury prevention, core integrity, and sustainable strength. Her approach blends classical Pilates principles with the body intelligence of a dancer: precise, effective, and deeply aware of how strength and softness can coexist. This is the foundation of Velvet Core ™ pop-up: her Pilates-based method designed to help clients build a strong center, move with ease, and return to a body that feels both feminine and alive.
Our Unique Approach
Who We Are
At Velvet Core™ Pilates, we are committed to offering a distinctive Embodied Sensual Pilates experience that goes beyond physical fitness.
The Velvet Core™ Difference
Here, Pilates becomes a portal back into the body.
Through fluid transitions, sensual pacing, and somatic awareness, strength is cultivated without armor. The core engages without gripping. The spine moves without force. The body remembers how to feel feminine while still becoming strong.
Velvet Core™ is an embodied Pilates practice for women who want to shift out of their masculine and reconnect to their feminine essence through strength, sensation, and fluid movement.
