Renée Beshures

Certified Pilates Instructor • Certified Yoga Instructor • Certified Massage Therapist • Movement Educator • Co-Founder of Boulder Bodyworks

Pilates instructor and movement educator specializing in injury recovery, rehabilitation, and functional movement.

Renée Beshures is a highly experienced movement educator and therapeutic bodyworker with more than 40 years of experience in fitness, rehabilitation, injury recovery, and functional movement. She began her career as a fitness trainer in 1984, became a certified massage therapist in 1993, and expanded her work through Pilates certification in 1997 and yoga certification in 2000.

Over the course of her career, Renée has worked extensively with clients recovering from motor vehicle accidents, traumatic brain injuries, chronic pain, postural imbalances, and long-standing movement dysfunction. Her work reflects decades of experience helping people restore function, recover from injury, build strength, improve alignment, and move with greater efficiency and confidence.

Her approach is informed by a strong foundation in fitness training, massage therapy, Pilates, and yoga, along with extensive study in somatics, fascia-focused anatomy, biomechanics, neuroplasticity, CranioSacral work, visceral work, Maya abdominal therapy, and the Franklin Method of experiential anatomy and imagery.

Renée is known for her ability to assess the body with a highly trained eye and help clients understand the underlying patterns contributing to pain, physical restriction, and inefficient movement. Her sessions combine careful observation, practical instruction, and deep anatomical understanding to support rehabilitation, resilience, and meaningful progress over time.

In 1999, Renée co-founded Boulder Bodyworks to create a place where skilled hands-on care and thoughtful movement education could work together in service of long-term health. Today, she continues to support clients across the full arc of life, from injury recovery and complex physical challenges to healthy aging and lifelong vitality.

Clients often appreciate Renée’s clarity, depth of knowledge, and ability to translate complex physical issues into clear, practical movement strategies that make a genuine difference in how they feel and move.

“It was my good fortune the day I was looking for help for an injured back that I got a live person answering the phone at Boulder Bodyworks. Renée Beshures, Pilates instructor extraordinaire, just happened to have an opening that day. I was barely able to make it there due to excruciating lower back pain but am I glad I did. Renée’s kindness, expertise and encouragement were the keys to my recovery.”
