six ways to move

Contemporary Pilates and strength-based movement, in layered, progressive sequences. Every class is 50 minutes; all but one are heated by infrared.

Infrared heat

Flow & Glow

Full body Pilates

Our signature Hot Pilates blends low-impact, high-intensity movement with infrared heat for a full-body burn without the impact. Longer holds and layered sequences build strength and control, while breath deepens the mind-muscle connection.

  • Longer holds
  • Minimal standing work
  • Light weights + props

Sculpt & Sweat

Full body sculpt

Faster-paced sequences, pulses and standing work keep muscles under continuous tension, while added weight and resistance props elevate the intensity. An energizing, dynamic flow that challenges endurance and coordination.

  • Full body
  • Faster pace
  • Pulses
  • Light–moderate weights

Lower body sculpt

Moderate added weight and resistance props challenge the glutes and legs through strength-based, layered sequences with minimal rest. Designed for deep muscular fatigue, amplified by infrared heat.

  • Lower body focus
  • Moderate–heavy weights
  • Strength emphasis
