Welcome to
Purple Door Pilates.
A Pilates home for clients and instructors to establish their practice and participate in a nurturing and collaborative community.
A note from the owner: I opened the Johnson St studio with a value in mind- for our clients to know the wonder and efficacy of classical Pilates; while enjoying the inclusivity and creativity of moving and playing outside of that box.
The Pilates method leads us all toward new capabilities with ease. Sometimes the new capability is touching one's toes for the first time; sometimes, it is finding humility and patience (even laughter) in unconventional exercises. Someday it could be doing the full classical reformer flow with all transitions included. (This is when Pilates practice will become cardiovascular).
At Purple Door Pilates, teachers and students work in collaboration. We are instructing a strength-based practice that leads to increased agility. PDP honors how everyone's body is different; therefore, each body entering our doors is capable of different things. We are here to celebrate what your body can do . Together we build upward and do our part to dispel the narrative of the human body breaking down. The practice supports the healing and strengthening of bodies in any condition; we train elite athletes and differently abled movers.

We can't wait to meet you!
