Etain Pilates

Meet the studio, LÜ Pilates in Market Square, where you can find me teaching classes weekly. You’ll find 5 reformers with towers, 4 chairs, a mix of spine correctors, a full Cadillac (not shown, but she’s a beauty), and a ladder barrel (partially shown). You will find a wide variety of props and accessories like sitting boxes, jump boards, wedges, rollers, balls, bands, light hand weights, etc. There’s a lovely sitting area at the far end of the studio in the gorgeous bay windows with a little water cooler and beverage station nearby. Warm lighting, tall ceilings, and equipment that feels good to find yourself moving with. Come move with me! I’m open for privates in addition to the class offerings.

The May semester of the beginner reformer series is now open for booking. The link to register is in my bio or you can email or dm me. The beginner reformer classes are taught at a slower pace designed for intentionally exploring movement and learning the foundational concepts and traditional beginner level exercises. All bodies and levels of experience are welcome.

The cost is $120 for all 4 of the weekly classes in May ($30/class). E transfer and cash are accepted. They are booked by the month as these classes are progressive learning. I also believe that consistency is key in seeing the progress in your practice, and that setting time aside for yourself each week makes a difference. That said, if you’re interested, but will be away, please let me know and I can work with you on that. If cost is a barrier, please reach out to me. I want people to be able to explore movement that feels good, and I try to be as accessible as I can.

Please note that the schedule for May will be a bit different. I will be away in Vancouver for a workshop on May 7th. This class will be rescheduled for May 6th at 6pm. The following week is a teacher training intensive in studio, but we can move the 6pm class to 7pm. The rest of the month will be Thursdays at 6pm as usual at LU Pilates in Market Square.

✨May 7 rescheduled for May 6th 6pm
✨May 14 potentially 7pm
✨May 21 6pm
✨May 28 6pm

As a reminder, any students currently in their teacher training with are welcome to join the class either as a series or drop in. I offer a discount rate for students working on their practical hours. Reach out to me and let’s chat!

Part of my mission in teaching Pilates is to create a safe space for my clients so that they can feel empowered with movement that feels good. Having a calm nervous system helps you move with more ease and less tension.

Interested in my classes? Send me a message or email. I’m always available for a free consultation as well.

Great news! I am adding another class to my weekly schedule! I will be offering a mid-week reset and restore class starting in May.

This whole body class will focus on movements that help mobilize and open the chest and hips, strengthen the backbody, and find length and stretch. These classes will explore movements across the pilates apparatus such as the

✨ tower
✨ chair
✨ spine corrector
✨ reformer

Choice of apparatus(es) used in each class can vary, and props may be used as well.

This class is perfect for those who want to counter sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day, who want to improve their posture, embrace the mind body connection that pilates offers while building strength, and find strength, stretch, stamina, and stability in their body. This is your mid-week reset and restore for your body with movement that feels good. It is also a great way to experience and explore movement across a variety of apparatuses.

No experience is needed, and all bodies are welcome for this drop in class.

Classes are $30 at LU Pilates in Market Square, Wednesdays at 7pm, starting in May.

Email or DM me for more details.

Horsing around in the studio today with the Pilates exercise of the Chinese New Year with horseback on the ladder barrel. It is not a fire horse, but as close as it gets. :)
