Opening Soon
Downtown Durham's only Classical Pilates studio.
Two sisters, third-generation classically trained, opening Downtown Durham's only Classical Pilates studio this summer. The full method, in the order it was written.

Our Approach
The method, intact.
Classical Pilates is the original method. The full Return to Life sequence and the apparatus work that came with it, every exercise in the order it was written.
What you'll feel: stronger from the inside out, more aware of how your body actually moves.
What We Offer
Mat, apparatus, privates, and duets. Classical Pilates the way it was designed.

Mat Classes
The foundation of everything we do.
Full-body workouts rooted in the original Return to Life matwork. Layered, progressive, and built around all six principles of the method. Modifications for newer students, advancements for those deeper in their practice.

Apparatus
Real equipment. Real instruction. Three students max.
Reformer, tower, barrels, Wunda chair, and Ped-O-Pul. The classical equipment that builds your practice and transforms how your body moves. Every class is capped at three so you get hands-on corrections, not just cues from across the room.
View Schedule
Privates, Duets & Trios
Fully customized. Your body, your goals, your pace.
One-on-one, with a partner, or as a trio. Full apparatus access tailored entirely to you. Whether you're rehabbing, training for something specific, or just prefer individual attention, this is the fastest path to results.
