Rooted Stories Ep. 2 | FORM Pilates Founders on Mindful Movement & Wellness in Austin, TX
In the second episode of Rooted Stories, we meet Linzi and Hannah, the co-founders of FORM Pilates, a movement studio redefining how Pilates is experienced in Austin.
From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt an immediate sense of welcome, an atmosphere filled with calm, happiness, and genuine joy. The space felt intentional and alive, carrying a quiet energy that invites you to slow down and be present. Linzi and Hannah are the kind of people who truly embody their professions; they don’t just teach movement, they connect. Their energy is vibrant yet grounded, high-vibrational without feeling forced, something you feel the moment you enter the room.

FORM Pilates wasn’t created to follow trends. It was built from years of hands-on experience, education, and observation, understanding not only how the body moves, but why it moves the way it does. Linzi and Hannah approach Pilates as both an art and a science, emphasizing precision, strength, and sustainability so each person can feel supported at every stage of their movement journey.
Watching them in action made this philosophy tangible. I saw Hannah fully present with her group class, guiding and motivating with intention, while Linzi offered focused, one-on-one attention, sharing her knowledge with care and precision. In both settings, their commitment to their students was clear. The classes felt supportive, empowering, and genuinely joyful. You don’t just move your body at FORM Pilates, you enjoy the experience of being there.
A New Generation of Wellness Spaces
FORM Pilates represents a new generation of wellness studios:
Grounded in expertise, not hype
Guided by intention, not pressure
Centered around community, not perfection
The studio itself reflects this philosophy: focused & welcoming. Every detail is designed to support connection: to your body, to your practice, and to the people around you.
