James Crader is a Movement and Mind-shift Coach specializing in Pilates and John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Therapy, a CoreAlign Faculty Member, and owner of Evolved Body Studio in Sacramento, CA. Growing up he'd never thought anything fitness would be his calling. What he was good at was observing and storytelling. He loved to listen, learn, play with the shapes he could make while rolling around on the ground, and he even practiced writing with his toes (just in case). All that made for a weird kid, but an innovative movement educator. James began his Pilates training with Balanced Body, but has gone on to study with numerous teachers from many lineages of Pilates and beyond.

He’s the co-host of The Thinking Pilates Podcast and has been featured on Pilates Anytime and in Pilates Style. You can find out more about James and EB Studio at www.EvolvedBodyStudio.com, or follow his life and movement musings on Instagram @james_crader.
