Our teaching approach
Cueing & Movement
Our instructors teach every session with the goal of making it easy to follow along. They explain how to do an exercise, what muscles are working and how an exercise should feel.
Friendly & Welcoming
We aim to be friendly, welcoming and, most of all, to offer a space for everyone — every body, every age and every fitness level.

Specialist training
Trained well past the basics.
Most clients never need the specialist end of our training. But we do have instructors who are certified in Pilates for osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and neurological conditions, alongside NCPT, BASI™ and Pilates Center of Boulder credentials. That depth shows up in regular class cueing. If you do turn up with something going on with your body, talk to us! We can direct you to the right private trainer or help you find your place in the class schedule.
