Expansive, energized, and intentional movement
ONEYOGAHOUSE is a yoga studio that exists to facilitate moments of resonance, harmony, and alignment with and within our cities.
The discipline of aligning the body allows us to better support and integrate the things we want for ourselves, with more presence and wisdom. Because Pilates works the body holistically, the result is balanced muscle development and a decrease in injury and chronic pain due to misaligned posture and muscular imbalance.
Joseph Pilates described his mat exercise regimen as “complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit.” This mind-body connection leads to improved focus, greater body awareness, and decreased stress. We are excited to bring three different pilates mat classes to OYH to help our clients integrate the powerhouse that is the core toward gaining optimal movement patterns.

Our Pilates Teachers
Every teacher has a unique voice that creates a unique practice. Underlying these individual styles are some serious roots, though. Our teachers utilize source material from established lineages and traditions
What is Pilates?
The Pilates Method utilizes a specific set of exercises that are performed with emphasis on precision and control rather than increased repetition.
Each exercise is approached using the Pilates Principles of concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision and flowing movement to strengthen the core, promote proper alignment and train the body to move effectively and efficiently. A regular Pilates practice will create a strong, lean physique as the exercises focus on strengthening and lengthening muscles.
A well-aligned spine is essential to a safe and effective Pilates practice making this an ideal method to improve posture. In addition to aligning the spine, the exercise series moves the spine through flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation, increasing the mobility of the spine.
Pilates exercises focus on strengthening the core, known as the “Powerhouse” which encompasses the muscles that make up your torso, including the deep core muscles; multifidus, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis and the diaphragm. Strengthening the Powerhouse leads to better posture, increased lung capacity and improved movement patterns.
The ONEYOGAHOUSE Difference
We believe that a positive teacher-client relationship is critical for your success in Pilates. Our instructors are comprehensively trained and maintain their own Pilates practice. Our instructors have a trained eye to identify weaknesses and imbalances in the body and will guide you to develop balanced strength with hands-on assists and use of various props. We keep our pilates classes small, so that each client can practice safely and with proper form. Clients are encouraged to take private or duet sessions, especially as a beginner, to avoid injury and developing poor habits.
