Mindful movement for folks who want to create a dedicated practice

Innovation Grounded in Tradition.

We’re a community rooted in education, agency, and dedicated practice. With over 100 classes each week, we offer mat classes, small-group equipment sessions, and private instruction to support every mindful mover’s journey. Start with customized support with our Private Session Intro Offer.

Grounded in the traditions of yoga and Pilates, our mission is to help students develop physical agency and emotional resilience through a clear and consistent approach to practice. We achieve this mission by hiring qualified educator professionals and being the first studio to offer full-time salaries for yoga and Pilates teachers. We are redefining the relationship between students, teachers, and modern movement spaces.

The Practice Space School

Our school is intentionally structured in three progressive tiers, each building on the last:

200-Hour Pathway Program - We believe that studying mindful movement is about more than just certification; it’s about understanding yourself, your practice, and the impact of teaching through a deeper lens. Begin with immersive, intentional study as a student. Learn the why and how behind the work while deepening your personal practice.

100-Hour General Education (300-Hour Certificate of Completion) - Students can transition seamlessly into teaching. This phase provides complete class plans and the teaching skills needed to begin sharing the work with others.

200-Hour Professional Training (500-Hour Certification of Completion) - Refine your expertise. Graduate as a highly skilled instructor prepared to work with diverse populations across studio, gym, and clinical settings.

These programs are designed for everyone whether you’re seeking personal growth or preparing to become a teacher and allows you to deepen your practice at your own pace.

Gain a deep study without the requirement to become a teacher.

Where We’re Making an Impact (and How to Join Us)

Our community grows through shared practice and honest experience. If The Practice Space has supported your movement, learning, or sense of connection, we’d truly appreciate you sharing that in a Google review. If you have suggestions or feedback, we’d always rather hear from you directly so we can keep improving together.

“With your patient guidance and always good humor, at this point in time I am mostly pain free

and feel like I have made good progress toward my additional goals of becoming stronger and more graceful, and improving posture and balance. It is almost miraculous. When I started studying Pilates and CoreAlign with you, I was in daily pain and was nearly convinced that a spine surgery was my only remaining option to deal with it, and that option did not look very encouraging. I was scared, frankly. I can say with complete honesty that every time I visit the studio, I depart feeling better and lighter on my feet than when I arrived. I am deeply grateful. You are doing incredible work and I look forward to continuing the exploration with all of you.”
