Pillar Pilates was derived from the concept of the 6 Pillars of Pilates: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath, and Flow—which are the foundational elements created by Joseph Pilates to ensure a safe, effective, mind-body workout. These core principles focus on using the "powerhouse" (core) for movement, maintaining mental focus, executing precise motions with control, and utilizing breath to enhance fluid transitions.
Pillars are tall, strong, and grounded—symbolizing the strength and stability we strive to build in every body. Just like a pillar provides steady support, our practice is designed to help you develop a strong, stable foundation that carries you through everyday life.

At Pillar Pilates, we’re dedicated to helping you feel strong, balanced, and confident in your body. As a team of movement experts—a kinesiologist, physiotherapist, and pelvic health physiotherapist—we design inclusive, evidence-informed education and programs tailored to every fitness level, with a strong emphasis on quality movement.
The name Pillar Pilates reflects our belief in building strength, support, and stability from the ground up. Just as a pillar provides a steady foundation, Pilates develops a strong core and supports confident, capable movement in daily life and across all forms of exercise. We are guided by the key pillars of health and wellness—balance, education, empowerment, growth, and longevity—ensuring our community is supported for the long term.

You believe in building strong foundations—physically and socially—so people can move with confidence, stability, and longevity throughout every stage of life.

At Pillar Pilates, our philosophy is rooted in building strong foundations—physically, socially, and in our community. We believe movement is more than exercise; it’s education, empowerment, and long-term wellbeing. Beyond our studio, we actively give back by donating and raising funds for Bethesda House and our local community, supporting women-owned, BIPOC, and LGBTQ-owned businesses, and contributing to our local animal shelter—because strength and stability extend beyond the body to the world around us.
