meet Kristen 👋🏻

Kristen (she/her) has been practicing Pilates for over 20 years and has long appreciated how it supports both the body and mind. After going through some major life changes last year, her connection to the practice deepened—it became a powerful way to feel grounded, strong, and centered. That experience sparked a passion to learn more, and ultimately led her to become an instructor so she could share the method with others.

Kristen’s classes focus on mindful, intentional movement, encouraging students to build strength and confidence from the inside out. She creates a warm, supportive space where people of all levels can move with purpose and feel good in their bodies.

When she’s not in the studio, you’ll likely find Kristen spending time with her family or enjoying the outdoors as much as possible.

You can find Kirsten on the schedule teaching

Lisbon hums with tiled light and sea breeze.
Évora moves like a whisper. Slow, golden, grounded.

We made a soft city guide for those joining us in Portugal next May, or anyone dreaming of a slower kind of adventure.

🧘‍♀️ Where to move + breathe
🌿 What to notice along the way

Part retreat companion, part love letter to slow travel 💌

Pilates doesn’t give you a type of body.
It helps you connect more deeply to your body.

To your centre, where your breath begins.
To the way you move with intention.

It asks you:

👁️ To pay attention to the quiet details that require presence and focus
🌀 To move with more awareness
🪨 To feel strength from the inside
🌬️ To notice how your breath supports your movement
⚖️ To explore balance in motion, and what it takes to find it
🪼 To care for your joints; the spaces where mobility and stability meet, and your body learns how to hold itself with integrity

It’s a method grounded in principles like control, flow, and precision.
Not performance. Never perfection.

It’s not about changing who you are,
but being in deep conversation with your body, as it is.

mat classes at the studio are where connection begins — between breath and movement, self and community.

They’re a place to slow down, build strength from the inside out, and explore movement with curiosity and care 〰️

Whether you’re just starting out, grounded in your practice, or finding your way back to the mat, you’re welcome here📍

No expectations — just space to move, laugh, learn and be 🪼

is located on Treaty 57 territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Wendat, and Haudenosaunee Peoples, and adjacent to the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) community of Tyendinaga.

We give thanks today and every day to all the generations who have cared for this land, past, present, and future. We honour and deeply respect the ongoing connection Indigenous Peoples have to the land where we live and work.

This month, and every month, we look for ways to support our wider community. A portion of proceeds from all of our weekly COMMUNITY CLASSES is donated to local organizations supporting trans people, women, racialized people, and Indigenous communities.

On July 1st, 50% of all sales from single classes, mixed packs, and 10-class packs will be donated to Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na, an organization offering Mohawk language and cultural programming on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Investing in the Mohawk language (Kanyen’kéha) plays an important role in maintaining and revitalizing cultural identity. Language is more than a way to communicate. It carries knowledge, preserves culture, and helps build strong relationships and community.
