Pilates School of Movement

Our Group Pilates sessions offer a dynamic and supportive environment where participants can enjoy the benefits of Pilates in a communal setting. Working out in a group fosters a sense of community and motivation, encouraging participants to stay committed. You are welcome to join us at any class described as Level 1 or Beginners (below you’ll find a clear description of our class levels and why it’s important to begin with Level 1.). Arrive 5 minutes prior so you can explain to your teacher any conditions you may have or goals you’d like to achieve. For your own safety, please do your best to arrive on time. If you are more than 10 minutes late, teachers may deny you access to the class and charge it as a no-show. Please note: Group classes are designed for individuals without current injuries. If you are working with any of these concerns (ongoing pains or medical conditions, rehabilitation or pregnant), we request starting with private sessions to ensure your needs are properly addressed in a safe and personalized manner. Privates are requested for anyone with a specific condition that may prevent them from following a full workout (hip, shoulders or back problems, for example). These classes are specifically designed to your own needs and capacities. The rhythm will also be adjusted to provide you the right amount of time to work and rest the muscles. Privates are also advised for everyone who needs to deepen their own personal experience in the apparatus. They are fun sessions where you can explore new moves that might not be suitable for a group class. Please make sure to arrive 5 minutes before the class. If you are just a few minutes late for your Private, the teacher will respect the scheduled hour and finish on time. If you are more than 15 minutes, the teacher may reserve the right to skip the session and charge it as a no-show.

We provide all the equipment, so just bring yourself, a bottle of water, and a smile! Comfortable, not baggy gym attire is recommended, with no zippers or accessories. Wear a pair of clean socks, as no shoes are needed.

Please be aware that all appointments and classes are subject to a 24-hour cancellation policy. You can easily manage you cancellation by using this App. Reservations not canceled 24h prior will be charged the full price of the lesson. Please check the validity of your package. Our Cancelation Policy is fully described on our Website. Please take a look at it.

All new clients are required to begin with Level 1, even if you’ve done Pilates before. Our teaching style and equipment (like the Gratz Reformer) may be different from what you’re used to, and starting here ensures your safety and progress. This is to help you build a strong foundation, and make the experience more enjoyable for you and the group. Therefore, to ensure readiness for Level 2, we request trying a few (5-10) continuous Level 1 in our studio; we might also require teacher's approval. Level 2 is a natural next step for clients who have developed confidence and consistency in Level 1 (in our studio). We introduce more flow, complexity, and layered movement, while continuing to refine the technique built in earlier sessions. To join Level 2, we ask that you complete at least 5–10 Level 1 classes in our studio and/or get approval from a teacher. This helps ensure that you're ready for the increased pace and that the group experience remains smooth and safe for everyone. We may kindly ask you to stay in Level 1 a bit longer if we see that Level 2 might not be safe or supportive for you — yet. It’s never a setback, just part of a thoughtful and personalized progression. The Level 3 Mat and Reformer class is for those who have built a strong foundation with us through consistent practice in our Level 1 and 2 classes. We recommend having practiced with us for at least six months, as these earlier levels help you master the core techniques and movement patterns that are essential for this faster-paced class. Here, we move together as a group, working through more advanced exercises, intricate choreography, and dynamic transitions. The energy is high, and the flow is quick, so having a solid understanding of the basics ensures you can fully engage and enjoy the challenge! If you’re just starting, no worries—our Level 1 and 2 classes are the perfect place to begin, and we promise you’ll get there one day. We can’t wait to see you progress! What are other things to consider? The studio is an open, bright, and welcoming space where we expect to provide everyone with a time to enrich their mind-body connection. Please leave your phone in one of the lockers provided. Photos cannot be taken unless authorized. Be respectful towards yourself, the class, and the instructor. Don’t push your body beyond its current limit. You will get better every time. Keep an open mind on different approaches and discoveries. Be positive and talk openly about any questions or doubts you may have. We are here to support you on your path! What is the difference between Classical and Contemporary Pilates? At Pilates School of Movement, we focus entirely on Classical Pilates—the method just as Joseph Pilates created it, using the original equipment he designed and the original sequence of exercises. Most of us have trained in both Classical and Contemporary styles, but we’ve found that staying true to the original system brings incredible results—not just in our own bodies, but even more so in the noticeable progress and lasting improvements we’ve seen in our clients over time. We truly celebrate all styles of Pilates and the variety they bring to the movement world. Contemporary Pilates often blends in techniques from other practices, and while we might occasionally bring in elements from our past training when it supports a client’s needs, our passion is Classical. Its focus on breath, flow, control, precision, coordination, centering, and the mind-body connection offers a powerful foundation—and we’ve witnessed again and again how these principles create real transformation in strength, posture, confidence, and overall well-being. It’s what keeps us inspired every day. For more information on these and more FAQ, please check our Website.

We want to see our students grow from beginners to advanced. With time, Pilates will change the relationship between your body, mind, and spirit, and give you tools to enjoy life to the fullest. To achieve this, we teach he the Classical Pilates Method and we use Gratz Pilates equipment, which is renowned for its adherence to the original designs created by Joseph Pilates. By teaching small groups, our instructors can provide more individualized guidance and corrections; this helps ensure that each participant performs exercises correctly, which is crucial for achieving desired results and preventing injuries.
