Wherever You Are in Your Pilates Journey, There’s a Class for You

From beginners exploring the foundations of Pilates to advanced practitioners refining their skills, there’s a place for everyone.

Group Reformer & Equipment Classes

  • In these small-group classes, you'll work on the Pilates Reformer and other studio apparatus like the Tower, Chair, or Jumpboard. With the guidance of an experienced instructor, you'll flow through targeted movements that add resistance, support, and variety to your workout. Expect a mix of strength-building, stretching, and coordination, always with attention to form and alignment.

    Best For: Those looking for deeper support or challenge than mat work alone can offer. Great for clients ready to explore the full range of Pilates equipment in a group setting.

Group Mat Classes

  • Our mat classes focus on classical and contemporary Pilates exercises performed on the mat using your bodyweight, breath, and control to build a strong foundation. You’ll improve core strength, flexibility, posture, and alignment through intentional, low-impact movement. Occasionally, small props like rings, balls, or bands may be incorporated to enhance stability or resistance.

    Best For: All levels. From beginners learning the basics to advanced movers looking to refine their technique.

Semi-Private & Private Lessons

  • Semi-private and private sessions are the most personalized way to practice Pilates. Your instructor will tailor each session to your goals, abilities, and any injuries or special considerations, using a mix of mat and equipment-based exercises. You'll receive hands-on guidance, customized programming, and a pace that’s just right for you.

    Best For: Beginners looking for a strong start, clients recovering from injury, pre/postnatal clients, or anyone wanting focused, 1:1 attention in their Pilates practice.

How it all started

In 2008, I opened Evolution Pilates with the vision of creating a calming space where smart, mindful exercise could thrive.

A place to connect mind and body while challenging ourselves to reach our greatest potential.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to build an exceptional team of instructors who bring not only Pilates certifications but also advanced expertise in exercise science, dance, and physical therapy.
