The tensegrity principle

Our philosophy

Your body was designed
to move without pain.

Design 2 Move Pilates is built on a simple but powerful truth: the human body is a tensegrity system — a network of bones, muscles, and fascia that work in continuous, interdependent tension. When one part carries more load than it should, injury, pain, and restricted movement follow.

Every D2M session is built around restoring that balance. Using the globally recognized STOTT PILATES® method, we identify the root cause of your movement dysfunction — then rebuild the patterns your body needs to thrive.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, training for competition, or simply ready to move better every day — we have a program built for you.

Nearly two decades of movement science — in every session.

Devi Rieker · Founder & Lead Instructor · Design 2 Move Pilates

Devi Rieker left a corporate career in 2006 to dedicate herself entirely to the study of human movement. What followed was nearly two decades of advanced training, clinical certifications, and hands-on experience helping clients do what they thought their bodies could no longer do.

Today, Devi brings that depth of knowledge to every session at Design 2 Move Pilates — from post-surgical recovery programs to elite athletic conditioning. Her approach is rooted in science, guided by the globally recognized STOTT PILATES® method.

"What drives me is not the exercise itself — it is the look on a client's face the moment their body does something they believed it no longer could."

Common questions

Expert answers.
Real results.

Your Pilates questions, expertly answered.

No experience is required. All new clients begin with a private session including a postural analysis so we can understand your movement patterns and goals before recommending a path forward.

Your first session is a discovery process. We begin with a postural and movement assessment, then guide you through foundational STOTT PILATES® exercises at the appropriate level for your body. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your movement baseline and a recommended program.

Yes — and this is one of D2M's core specialties. Our lead instructor holds an advanced certification as a STOTT PILATES® Post-Rehabilitation Specialist, specifically designed to bridge the gap between physical therapy discharge and long-term functional recovery.

Clinical Pilates applies movement science, anatomy, and rehabilitation principles to the Pilates method. At D2M, every program begins with a postural analysis and exercises are selected based on your specific movement dysfunction — not a generic class template.

Pilates is widely recognized as one of the most effective modalities for chronic back pain. The STOTT PILATES® method emphasizes neutral spinal alignment and deep core stabilization — the two factors most commonly implicated in chronic back conditions.

Three things: the depth of clinical training (six advanced certifications), class sizes capped at 5 clients maximum, and every program built from a postural analysis — no generic templates. You receive programming designed specifically for your body.

Pilates develops core stability, hip mobility, posterior chain strength, rotational power, and body awareness — qualities that directly translate to athletic performance. D2M works with triathletes, runners, cyclists, golfers, and team sport athletes looking to improve efficiency and prevent injury.

D2M Pilates is located at 2160 West Chandler Boulevard, Suite 14, Chandler, Arizona 85224 — easily accessible from Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, and the broader Phoenix metro area. Spacious parking is available directly in front of the studio.
