Want to Feel…Seen, Supported, More Centered and More Confident?
We are here to guide you. You may be surprised how much better you can feel on a daily basis with a consistent Pilates practice. Experience the difference of our highly educated teachers who understand the Classical Pilates system, whole body integration, fascial hydration and how to support you through any state of health.
Our integrative approach to the Pilates method is rooted in the original system created by Joseph Pilates, often referred to as Classical Pilates, and the work of his direct students, known as the Elders. Staying true to that lineage of the Authentic Pilates system, we create a deeply healing, cohesive and effective approach that meets you exactly where you are.
As your body begins to organize more efficiently from the center, strength, balance, flexibility, and confidence naturally follow, and chronic pain often improves and/or disappears.
Our light-filled, boutique Pilates studio is centrally located in downtown San Rafael, CA, in beautiful Marin County. We are proudly equipped with the gold standard in professional Pilates apparatus; Gratz Pilates and Pilates Designs. Beyond the well known Pilates Reformer, we offer a full studio experience, including the Trapeze Table (aka Cadillac), and Wunda Chair, Barrels, as well as lesser-known apparatus and accessory tools.
The Pilates Method is considered a ‘circular system’, where each apparatus reinforces the movement skills learned from the others, but with different orientations to gravity, load and force. They are all important tools, that together create a cohesive learning experience, which translates to better functional movement in every day life.
Compassion, depth of knowledge, and the versatility of our teachers is what truly defines our ‘special sauce’. Our team represents a rich landscape of movement backgrounds—from Classical Pilates to contemporary approaches and complementary bodywork systems—allowing us to meet each client with nuance and care. Because of that high level of body knowledge, we are able to serve and help improve the lives of a wide range of students.
We specialize in providing a safe space for students seeking effective strength and mobility training while wanting to move with better biomechanics, either to support injury prevention and/or recovery. Other areas of special focus that we specialize in include:
