About Purple Door Pilates

A woman-owned, local Pilates studio on the East side of Madison

We aim to help you feel good, be strong, and move without pain. Purple Door Pilates aims to maximize your body's potential for movement, vitality, and comfort.

We don't believe there is such a thing as a Pilates body. We aren't selling the trope of long, lean bodies. It is essential to understand that humans can not change the length of their muscles.

Pilates is not a look, although you'll see it sold as such in most marketing. It is a mind-body movement system that increases vigor, stamina, well being and garners skillful control of our bodies in everyday life.
