You do know that pilates is more than just the reformer, right? Step up the trapeze table, wunda chair, ladder barrel and more!

You do know that all of the equipment was originally designed to help people master the pilates matwork, right?
Step up to remind us that the mat will challenge you in new ways and help you reach new levels of strength and coordination.

The Mat is back! Get ready for a challenge and join Franzi on tuesdays at 12.30pm ✨starting from November 💥

I must have been asked 10 times in the last few weeks if we're going to more studios! 😂 I mean it does seem to be the trend and I remember how good it felt to finally open in this beautiful space, when we relocated. Perhaps if you keep opening studios and a month goes by without it it's like missing a fix 🧐

So maybe we're bucking the trend by making a choice to go deeper instead of wider! To focus on the loyal community we already have, and on welcoming new faces to this safe space we've been cultivating in the heart of Kreuzberg for more then two decades. It's powerful to feel seen, to be guided individually and encouraged to feel the best you can in your incredible and versatile body. We see you and we're looking forward deepening that connection in the future.

We have some schedule changes coming up for autumn so let us know what you're looking forward to most, in the comments ⬇️

🍁 small group studio classes - let's play using the full repertoire of reformer, cadillac,ladder barrel, arm chair and pedi-pul

🍁the mat is back! with added weights to keep you sweating and smiling 😩

🍁reformer and chair - not the kind you get comfy in but the kind that builds strength, endurance and coordination! that's right, the wunda chair 😈

Whilst we all love taking a pilates class with our bestie, it was never intended as a team sport! With precision an essential principle of the method, you're going to need those personalized cues and corrections from a well-trained instructor to help you get the most out of your session.

If your studio looks more like the first image than the second one, why are you doing that to yourself?!

Stand out from the crowd where there isn't one!

More isn't always more. Sometimes it's actually ..... less!

Less attention to detail, less progress, less for your money 💶

We see you! 👀 Well of course that's easier to do when our classes are small, our equipment is top of the range, and our team are comprehensively trained over 100s of hours 🕧🕥 (yes bragging!)

Book your next class with it now. You deserve it! X

Let's be honest ....
every pilates class doesn't feel fabulous
not everyone looks like a fitness model
you won't always want to get off the sofa and do it

But!
you'll notice little things first
feeling more aware of your body
standing up taller
less unnecessary tension

Are those little things actually? They sound quite big to me. I don't know about the famous "in 30 days you'll have a new body" Joseph Pilates quote, but I do know not everything has to be dramatic! Sustainable might not be a sexy word but consistent, conscious practice is what's going to bring changes you can maintain and make a part of your life long-term

Even when life is busy lifeing at you

Even when Berlin weather sucks for 80% of the year

Even when you feel like s**t and can't be arsed 🙀😂

Real movement for real people with real lives!

Should we get that made into t-shirts? 🧐

It's summer in Berlin and we're here for it!

We're here for balcony chilling, the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin, riding a bike without your hands freezing off, outdoor aperols, everybody smiling more, getting dressed and undressed faster because there's one layer and not 5!

We're also here for feeling strong, moving because it feels good, embracing the extra sweat, listening to your inner voice, and finding a new connection to the body you're in.

The outside noise seems to get louder as the days get longer and brighter. We're here to remind you that you don't owe the world anything, and nobody else's opinion matters.

A safe movement space will encourage you to focus on feeling your body more deeply, and increase your awareness of how you move. It will help you understand your body better, and feel more at home in it. You should leave class feeling centred, powerful, and fully connected to your physicality and strength.

It's so much more than just a burn!

Love it when new toys arrive! ❤️ Keep an eye on the schedule to see when and where we plan to find new ways to make you sweat this spring! 🌷 Adding a little extra weight can really bump up the intensity and add a kick to simple moves. Ready to feel stronger?

Thank you all so much for your patience! The details and dates of our Professional Reformer Instructor Training are now up on the website and booking is open✨

Well it's been a minute! But our reformer-only training is back and it's updated, offering you a recognised qualification to help you stand out from the crowd! I will always recommend a comprehensive training on ALL of the pilates equipment as the best way to understand and appreciate the pilates method as a whole. But I'm going to listen to all of you reformer-obsessed peeps who've been begging us to reintroduce this intense, theoretical and practical format, designed to provide you with the tools to curate thoughtful, creative yet well-structured group reformer classes. It's not a breeze, but if you're ready for the challenge then reach out and grab your spot before they disappear. This will be our final training in 2025 🙀

It's been an intense few days! But as much as my abs are killing me, it's been a joy to spend time with our team as we challenge ourselves in new ways. However much our abs might burn, there's more discomfort in stepping out of the comfortable patterns that we know, and accepting the invitation to think and move differently. If you're not open to feeling confused or even overwhelmed at times, how can you move forwards and progress? There may be comfort in staying where you are, but I wouldn't want to miss out on the camaraderie, excitement and growth of embracing a new challenge. We're all so excited to share what we've been learning with you. We might need to recover and get a massage first though 😂

Watch out for community classes coming soon. Your favourite reformer class just evolved.

Wow, our next Comprehensive Teacher Training starting in August is fully booked already! I've been so impressed by the discerning enquiries we've received. It's restored my faith a bit to meet and talk to so many people who understand that the pilates method is a complex and multi-faceted training system, and not something you can begin to understand in a couple of weekends 🫤 We're so excited to begin this journey with our newest cohort, and provide them with a qualification that is both recognised and respected in the profession they will soon be entering. It's always an honour to share our deep love of this method with new students. We also have a deep responsibility as we mentor a new generation of teachers, providing them with the tools to curate effective and inspiring classes, which are both creative and safe. Such a privilege 🤍
