Our Approach

A space to move, learn, and reconnect with your body.

At The Pilates Space, our teaching method is rooted in the original method developed by Joseph Pilates, which he referred to as Contrology, the art of using the mind to guide the body with precision, awareness, and intention. Contrology was built on the idea that strength is most powerful when it is controlled, aligned, and integrated throughout the body.

Joseph Pilates’ work was guided by six core principles, which continue to shape how we teach and how you move in our studio:

• Breath – supporting movement and creating awareness
• Concentration – being present and intentional in each exercise
• Control – moving with purpose rather than momentum
• Centre – engaging the deep core as the foundation of strength
• Precision – refining alignment and technique
• Flow – coordinating movement into smooth, continuous sequences

At The Pilates Space, we honour these classical principles while adapting the practice to meet the needs of modern bodies and lifestyles. Our approach is not about pushing harder or moving faster, it is about moving better.

We focus on:

• Deep core engagement
• Postural alignment
• Functional strength that supports everyday life
• Progression that is thoughtful, safe, and effective

Our goal is to help you understand your body, move with clarity and confidence, and build strength that feels sustainable, supportive, and empowering. This is a practice you carry with you, not just in the studio, but in the way you stand, walk, breathe, and live.

Within this space, you’ll find encouragement, positivity and empowering energy where every body is valued and every person belongs!!
