mind-body rituals for the classic woman.

  • Designed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900’s, Pilates, (formerly known as Contrology), Pilates is a system of movement centered in controlled movement from the core of the body.

    It offers a low impact, full body workout.

  • Centering control, concentration, centering, precision, flow, and connection to breath, Classical Pilates is the original method as developed by Joseph Pilates and taught in a specific, intentional order.

    Classical Pilates prioritizes consistency, form, and progression —each movement building upon the previous.

  • Classical Pilates is ideal for those who value structure, precision, and intentional movement. It is well-suited for beginners and experienced movers alike, offering a low-impact approach to building strength, alignment, and mobility over time.

    If you are seeking a thoughtful, consistent movement practice focused on longevity rather than intensity, Classical Pilates may be right for you.
