Our Roots
Dr. Jenny Meckle is a compassionate chiropractor who has been focused on spinal adjustments and treating patients with sports injuries to neck and back pain but she wanted something more to give her patients, something that went beyond chiropractic care… a path to functional movement.
​
It all started when Dr. Jenny Meckle stepped into her sister Carly’s Pilates studio, she felt how different this workout was compared to pushing yourself too hard at the gym or workouts that left you drained or injured. Some workouts are ineffective, but Jenny loved how this workout connects movement, alignment and breathing with core and spine strength. She felt better leaving that class than she ever did after other workouts.  Sharing this new experience with her patients and community became a dream that Jenny was determined to make come true. Deep Roots Pilates is that dream becoming a reality which you can now experience in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The Roots Group
Doctor of Chiropractic
Founder of Deep Roots Pilates
Hello, I’m Dr. Jenny.
Movement has been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with parents who were chiropractors, I saw firsthand how a hands-on, holistic approach can transform lives for the better. As a lifelong athlete, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Sciences with a major in Sports Medicine was a natural next step. Wanting to deepen my ability to heal and impact others, I went on to earn my chiropractic degree.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply passionate about exercise science and the life-changing power of functional movement. But my perspective expanded completely during a vacation to Florida, where I took a class at my sister Carly’s Pilates studio. After just a few sessions, I felt a shift in my body that years of traditional exercise had never reached. I walked out feeling replenished, clear-headed, and energized.
I knew right then that I needed Pilates in my life—and I knew my community needed it, too. I founded this studio to bring that exact feeling of vitality and physical renewal into reality. I can't wait to welcome you to the studio and help you move, grow, and live your best life.
Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Toriana
I became a Pilates instructor primarily to help people of all ages feel strong and confident in the bodies God gave them. Something that drew me to the reformer is the accessibility it provides, whether that’s through a simple spring change or through modifications given throughout each class. As someone who has struggled with a health condition that makes each day different for my body, this appealed to me greatly and has provided quality movements into my every day life. One of my favorite things about teaching classes is the community that is built within each one. I also love seeing each person show up for themselves, work hard and excel in movements they may have struggled with in their first few classes. I am so happy to welcome you to Deep Roots Pilates and help you on your path to functional movement.
Hi, my name is Alyshia!
To be honest, I am completely new to Pilates—but hearing Dr. Jenny and Toriana talk about how amazing these movements are, and seeing how great they feel after a workout, I just couldn't resist joining the journey. While they focus on the movement, I am the oil that helps the machine run behind the scenes.
Having known Jenny for years, I’ve seen firsthand her deep compassion for helping people live healthier lives and her passion for functional movement. I am so happy to help her bring this dream into reality.
With a four-year-old running around and a golden retriever puppy trailing close behind, I know exactly how much we all need functional movement in our daily lives. I am incredibly excited to start my own Pilates journey alongside our amazing community, and I can't wait to welcome you to the studio!
