OUR ETHOS
At Rive, arriving is more than entering a space — it’s about being fully present in the moment.
We remove distractions and guide you inward through intentional, simple movement. Our method invites you to reflect, reconnect, and strengthen — so you can emerge aligned, grounded, and fully yourself.
You’ve arrived. Let’s move forward together — in a space where you can just be.
METHOD
Rooted in contemporary Pilates, Rive’s method is intentionally designed to meet every body, at every level.
Whether you’re just beginning or returning to movement, we adapt to meet you where you are — and grow with you. Each class blends mindfulness, control, and strength for a transformative experience.
CLASS SIZES
At Rive, movement is personal.
Our Reformer Pilates classes are limited to just three clients, and Mat Pilates sessions are capped at eight, ensuring individualized guidance in every session.
Here, movement is more than exercise — it’s a shared journey of presence, connection, and personal growth.
The Instructor
Daniele Ogren, Owner & Instructor
Daniele is the heart behind Rive — a Des Moines native with a lifelong passion for movement, wellness, and community. From a young age, she knew her path would center around helping others feel strong, confident, and at home in their bodies.
Her journey took shape over years of exploring movement in a personal, intuitive way. After time in a demanding corporate career, a layoff in 2020 gave her space to pause and explore new possibilities. That’s when she discovered Pilates — and it immediately clicked. The practice offered the structure, stability, and awareness she had been seeking, and it quickly became something more than a workout.
As someone with hypermobility and a history of joint instability, Pilates was the first practice that delivered lasting results — improved posture, strength, and a deeper connection to her body. She pursued her certification through STOTT Pilates in Minneapolis, immersing herself in the method and philosophy of mindful movement.
In 2024, Daniele founded Rive as a wellness brand focused on intentional movement and self-connection. What began as a vision evolved into a physical space — and in 2025, Rive Pilates opened its doors in downtown Des Moines. Her teaching blends precision with support, helping clients feel seen, capable, and empowered through every session.
