Pilates Flow is a contemporary mat Pilates class focused on controlled movement, breath, and alignment. Designed to strengthen your deep core and pelvic floor, it supports stability, posture, and functional strength in everyday life—while sculpting long, lean muscle and a toned physique. Expect smooth transitions, intentional sequencing, and a steady rhythm that leaves you feeling strong, balanced, and refreshed. You're welcome to bring ankle weights for added intensity and your own mat for extra cushion.

Getting touched by your yoga teacher to some is overwhelming.

What we have done at AYS is give you access to a card that lets your teacher know how you feel about being touched at that moment. One side says it’s ok, and the other asks gently not to be given feedback with touch.

We value how you want to be interacted with so you can feel safe in all of our classes.

Still not sure? Come try your first class on the house. We would love to show you the way of Yoga🙏
