Mindful movement for folks who want to create a dedicated practice
Innovation Grounded in Tradition.
We are more than a yoga and Pilates studio. We are a community rooted in education, agency, and practice as a form of social change. With over 100 classes each week, we offer mat classes (25 spots), small-group equipment classes (6 spots), and private or semi-private sessions to support every mindful movers journey.
As one of the first studios to offer full-time salaries to yoga and Pilates educators, we’re redefining the relationship between students, teachers, and modern mindful movement spaces.
We honor the traditions of yoga and Pilates while advancing our mission to teach, lead, and guide students in developing physical agency and emotional resilience through a clear, dedicated approach to practice.

Affordable Beginnings
We believe every student deserves to practice at a studio (any studio) where they feel supported and their individual needs are truly met. That’s why we keep a low barrier to entry at The Practice Space, so you can try us without hesitation. Interview us. See if we’re the right fit for your practice. There is no pressure to stay if it doesn’t feel right.
New student offers include:
One Week for $22 // The price of a single mat drop-in, but your first visit unlocks unlimited mat classes for the entire week.
Two Months for the Price of One // Our unlimited mat membership is $139/month, and your first month can extend to two months so you have time to settle into your practice. -

Access Fund for Mat Classes
We’ve all been there - when showing up feels hard enough, and paying for class is simply out of reach. Thanks to the generous donations of our members and student community, we’re able to offer fully paid class spots to those who need them most. This is your zero-barrier entry point, because the moments you feel least able to practice are often the moments you need it most. If you’d like to access one of these donated spots, simply email the studio to receive a promo code. A MBO account must be created and a liability waiver signed before the code can be issued.
Please note that these spots are limited. If you’re able to pay or participate in one of our other discounts or specials, we kindly ask that you do so and leave these donated spots available for those who truly need them.

Work Trade Program
Each year, 20–30 students participate in our Work Trade Program, earning unlimited mat classes in exchange for one weekly shift supporting the studio either through light cleaning or warmly welcoming students to a particularly busy class. It’s a beautiful way to practice, contribute, and stay connected to our community.

Free Educational Classes
Getting started with mindful movement can feel a little shaky—maybe you’ve had a not-so-great experience in the past, or maybe the idea of learning in a group setting feels intimidating. Our teachers at The Practice Space fully understand that. And we also know that investing in something before you’re sure it’s right for you can feel especially hard these days.
That’s exactly why we offer free community learning classes every single month. It’s a low-pressure chance to explore, learn, ask questions, and experience our approach before making any commitment.
Come see what we’re offering this month… we’d love to support you as you begin.

Food Pantry Donations
During seasonal needs, we collect goods and non-perishable foods for the local Mainspring Food Pantry to support families. Items most needed include dried and canned foods, full-size hygiene products, and small diapers (sizes 2–4). We will update this when we are accepting new donations which can be dropped off at the studio.

![tips to teachers]()
Tips for Teachers
Each year, we sponsor a "Tips for Teachers" campaign. During the month of December, you’re invited to show financial appreciation for our service-industry heroes by contributing to their tip fund - a tax-free way to honor their hard work.
In restaurants and salons, tipping is standard etiquette for infrequent visits. In yoga and Pilates you’re guided by the same dedicated teacher week after week which makes tipping regularly a bit much. So we inspire you to consider tipping once a year in support of our hardworking teachers.
And if financial support isn’t an option no worries, a heartfelt letter delivered to the studio is just as meaningful… we’ll make sure it reaches them.
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.”— BradleyThe Practice Space School
Our school is intentionally structured in tiers that build upon one another, allowing you to deepen your practice at your own pace. The program is designed for everyone whether you're exploring for personal growth or preparing to become a teacher.
A Revolutionary & Grounded Approach
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. Our school is led by two career educators who bring a wealth of expertise to both practitioners and future teachers.
Meghan Maris, M.A. in Yogic Studies // Director of Yoga Education // Meghan guides students into deeper practice and teaching through a social and ethical lens, ensuring that practicing and teaching remains grounded, inclusive, and transformative.
Krista Lennartz, M.A. in Pedagogy & Motor Control // Director of Pilates Education and Owner of The Practice Space // Krista brings a unique focus on personal agency in movement, helping students gain a deeper understanding of their own bodies while introducing future teachers to the science and art of pedagogy in mindful movement.
Gain a deep study without the requirement to become a teacher.
