No Refunds and Expiration dates

All memberships , class packages and drop-ins are non-refundable. Please review our full policy before purchasing.

All class packages and drop-in purchases have an expiration date. However, the expiration date does not mean it is the last day a reservation can be made it is the last day the class credit can be used.

Any unused classes remaining after the expiration date will be forfeited and are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Respecting the Space

This studio is a judgment-free, supportive environment. We ask everyone to help uphold our mission by fostering kindness, inclusion, and mutual respect.

No Recording

To protect the privacy, comfort, and focus of all participants, recording of any kind (video, audio, or photos) during Pilates classes is strictly not permitted.

This policy helps ensure:

  • A safe and respectful space for all clients

  • The protection of our instructors’ teaching methods and intellectual property

  • That everyone can move freely without concern of being filmed or photographed

We kindly ask that all phones and recording devices be silenced and put away during class. If you'd like to take a photo before or after class, please ask your instructor for permission.

Ignoring this policy will result on the termination of any class, package or membership as well as resulting of not being allowed back on studio.
