Forme was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that movement, when performed with intention, has the power to transform. We are more than just a studio; we are a dedicated space designed to honor the connection between mind and body, helping you build strength, refined alignment, and lasting clarity.
At Forme, we see movement differently. We believe it is the most powerful and direct path to reconnecting with ourselves in a world that constantly pulls our attention outward. Our philosophy is built not just on the exercises we teach, but on the intention and awareness we bring to every class.
Our approach is a thoughtful fusion of classical Pilates principles and modern, athletic conditioning. We honor the profound focus on precision and control from Joseph Pilates’ original work, but we infuse it with a dynamic flow that challenges the body and invigorates the spirit. Here, breath isn’t just a suggestion; it is the anchor for every movement, the rhythm that unites mind and muscle.
This method is guided by three core tenets:
We build strength from the inside out. Rather than focusing on superficial muscles, our work targets the deep, stabilizing core that provides the foundation for a resilient, powerful, and gracefully lean body. This is strength that serves you, both on the reformer and in your life.
We are dedicated to counteracting the patterns of modern life—the hours spent sitting, slouching, and staring at screens. Each exercise is a conscious opportunity to lengthen the spine, improve posture, and restore the body’s natural grace, leading to an elegant, confident poise that becomes your new normal.
We believe a focused mind is a calm mind. The deep concentration required to execute each movement with precision turns your workout into a form of moving meditation. This process quiets the external noise, fosters a state of deep presence, and leaves you with a sense of mental clarity that endures long after you’ve left the studio.
Ultimately, the practice at Forme is about more than transforming the shape of your body; it’s about inhabiting it with a new level of awareness and power. It’s about building a body that serves you, a mind that supports you, and a spirit that feels truly at home
This is the art of finding your forme.
