Davidson Reid

Davidson Reid’s experience with Pilates began more than 35 years ago, when he started studying Pilates as part of his Ballet training. After spending his late teenage years and twenties as a Ballet dancer, theatre performer, and Pilates Instructor in New York, Europe, and South Africa, he returned to Atlanta in 2001. Soon after his return, he acquired Studio Lotus and, along with the team he built, grew it into the Southeast's largest and most respected Pilates studio. In June of 2002, he began a partnership with his former employer, Power Pilates New York, and became their first Teacher Trainer and Southeastern Regional Director. Over the next 15 years, Power Pilates became the primary source of the next generation of highly skilled, sought-after Pilates instructors in Atlanta and the Southeast. During that time, Davidson wrote numerous original workshops, presented at conferences worldwide, and certified hundreds of Pilates instructors in Atlanta, across the country, and internationally.

In need of a change in rhythm and responsibility, Davidson began studying Structural Integration and anatomy with Thomas Meyers in 2016. After more than a year of intensive study and work, Davidson became a board-certified Structural Integrator, sold Studio Lotus, and began an extended hiatus from Power Pilates. In early 2018, along with his partner, Sarah Cook, he opened Physical Culture, a reimagined studio that is better able to help clients realize their individual potential. In January of 2025, Davidson excitedly accepted Power Pilates' offer to become a Master Teacher Trainer and resume leading teacher training courses at home and abroad. Since then, he has traveled to several cities in Asia and the US, teaching the Power Pilates curriculum, which he loves and believes in, to a new generation of Pilates instructors
