Yoga & Pilates Studio Concept

About

One studio. Two rooms. Eight teachers.

We opened on Cedar Lane in 2017 with one practice room and a borrowed reformer. Most of the students who walked in that first month still walk in.

What we teach

Yoga and pilates, taught carefully.

Vinyasa, hatha, restorative, mat pilates, reformer pilates on six reformers, and a strength-and-mobility class Saturday mornings. We do not run hot yoga. We do not program HIIT classes wearing a yoga teacher’s hat.

Yoga

Vinyasa Levels 1 and 2, hatha, restorative. Sixty to seventy-five minute slots. Levels are real — Vinyasa 2 is not where you start.

Pilates

Mat pilates and reformer. Reformer caps at six because the cueing density doesn’t scale past it. Slots open eight days ahead.

Mobility

One Saturday-morning class. Strength work, joint mobility, controlled load. Useful for students who lift the other six days a week.

What we believe about teaching

Cueing matters more than aesthetics.

A class with bad cueing and good lighting is a class where students injure themselves slowly. We hire for cueing. We pay enough that teachers stay. The pay scale is on the Teachers page.

Empty practice room with yoga mats arranged across a wide wooden floor and natural side light

Studio A, weekday morning

Empty before six. Quiet again by nine.

The wood is white oak. The light is east-facing. The mats sit where students last left them, which is to say where they want them — front row by the window, back row by the wall, the corners for whoever is returning from something.

The room

Wood floors, props that aren’t grey from age, and a thermostat we trust.

Studio A holds 18 mats. Studio B holds twelve, plus the six reformers. Both rooms are quiet — no music in restorative, low ambient in vinyasa, nothing piped in over the cueing. Lockers, showers, and a tea kettle that gets used a lot in winter.
