Miah youngblut

Hi, I’m Miah Youngblut, a passionate Pilates instructor since 2020. In the late summer of 2023, I officially launched Move with Miah Pilates Co. as a way to bring mindful, empowering movement to the community. I believe Pilates should feel inclusive, joyful, and accessible—which is why my classes are designed to meet you exactly where you are. With a focus on body awareness and presence, I guide clients in building strength, flexibility, and confidence that carries far beyond the mat. My grounded, supportive approach makes every class welcoming—whether you’re brand-new to Pilates or a seasoned mover looking to deepen your practice.

The girls

From the moment you step into Move with Miah to the moment you leave, we want you to feel cared for, inspired, and encouraged. Mandy, Isabelle, and Erika embody that spirit beautifully—each bringing their own personality, warmth, and passion for Pilates and holistic health. They meet you where you are, celebrate your progress, and make every class an experience you’ll carry with you long after you leave the mat.

    PILATES INSTRUCTOR

    Hi, I’m Erika Bierstedt. I’m a certified Pilates instructor passionate about helping others feel strong, centered, and at home in their bodies. My approach to Pilates is rooted in mindfulness, intentional movement, and deep connection. I believe in the power of thoughtful, aligned movement to create strength, balance, and a more intuitive relationship with your body.

    As Joseph Pilates said, “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.” My goal—whether in group classes or private sessions—is to help you feel aligned, empowered, and truly supported both on and off the mat.

    I am now welcoming private clients and would love to work with you one-on-one to support your goals and personalize your practice.

    MAT PILATES INSTRUCTOR

    Hi, I’m Mandy! Movement has been a passion of mine since the days of early-morning Cindy Crawford workout videos with my high school besties in a church basement. That joy for fitness led me to earn a B.S. in Exercise Science & Health Studies from Iowa State University, along with a variety of certifications over the years. 

    You can expect a balance of hard work, playful energy, and an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome—whether you’re a well experienced athlete, brand new to movement, or anywhere in between! 

  • Mr. Move (Trent Youngblut)

    FINANCE & STRATEGY PARTNER

    Being married to a business owner means late-night brainstorming sessions, early-morning phone calls, and plenty of weekends spent together at the studio or bringing community collaborations to life.

    Nearly every idea that has hit the ground running goes through Mr. Move— whether as a trusted listening ear or with the nudge of approval I’ve needed. His support and perspective help keep Move with Miah moving forward in both business and heart.
