WHY people love our classes.

My hip and knee pain disappeared after just a few weeks of Pilates classes with Sarah.

Pilates is teaching me the power of small movements.”

I’m learning how my body craves to be heard, strengthened, healed, and thriving , as opposed to the intense/high impact practices society steeps us in. Grateful for the shift in perspective through real experience. Thank you for delivering that.

What is Pilates?

No, it’s not just stretching and abs.

Pilates is a system of exercise created by Joseph Pilates in the 20th century, originally called “contrology.” It focuses on developing balanced strength and flexibility through the whole body, primarily through resistance-based and bodyweight exercises.

It can be practiced on a mat with no equipment at all, or with apparatuses (“machines”) designed specifically for Pilates training. It can be adapted for almost any level of fitness and is excellent for injury prevention, body awareness and stress relief.

Do your have a beginner yoga or Pilates class? What about a class just for seniors?

Our Yoga Basics class is designed for new-comers and those who want to focus on the essentials of a hatha yoga practice. We also offer a dedicated Intro to Reformer class usually once per week.

That said ALL of our classes are accessible for beginners.

Can I join at any time?

YES! We offer year-round, ongoing classes. New clients are always welcome.

What do I need for class?

Just yourself! Wear comfortable clothing that won’t get in your way. Grippy socks (socks with the non-slip grips on the bottom) are required for reformer classes.

A note about shorts: Keep in mind you will be bending over, stretching, and even going upside down! Shorts tend to not provide as much coverage as leggings or pants. Do with that information what you will.

We provide all props and mats needed. Many clients like to bring their own mat which is fine, too!
