A calm, focused studio dedicated to teaching Pilates the way it was meant to be — classical, intelligent, and rooted in the original method.
At Space for Pilates, we don’t follow trends. We teach with purpose. Every session is about building true strength, better movement, and a deeper connection to your body.
If you’ve ever Googled “Pilates near me,” you’ve probably seen a long list of studios offering everything from mat classes to reformer bootcamps. So how do you know which one’s right for you?
At Space for Pilates, we keep things simple — but powerful. We teach classical Pilates, the way it was originally designed, in a space that’s welcoming, unpretentious, and built for all bodies.
Pilates isn’t just a workout. It’s a method — and we take that seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously.
We don’t believe in gimmicks, fast-tracked training, or trendy choreography. What we teach is grounded in the original work of Joseph Pilates — a system that has helped people move and feel better for nearly 100 years.
Whether you’re:
…you have a place at Space for Pilates. You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to “get in shape” first. You just need to show up — and we’ll meet you exactly where you are.
It’s not about how fast you move or how many reps you can do. It’s about moving with purpose.
Each session builds strength, awareness, and resilience from the inside out.
That means:
We don’t just lead classes — we teach. You’ll learn the system, understand your own body, and get stronger session by session. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progression.
We created Space for Pilates to be exactly that — a space. A break from noise, pressure, and performance. It’s calm, focused, and welcoming.
No blaring music. No hustle. Just you, your body, and the work.
Come as you are. Leave feeling stronger.
That’s what Space for Pilates is all about.

Her path into Pilates began after the birth of her son, when she sustained a back injury that left her searching for answers.

Over the next 15 years as Master Instructor Soheyla conducted numerous instructor training programmes across Southeast Asia certifying many exceptional teachers - several of whom have since gone on to open and run their own successful studios.
Over the years Soheyla has continued to expand her knowledge and expertise building on her strong foundation in human anatomy and functional movement while honing the art of clear and effective teaching. Her commitment to ongoing study and refinement reflects her belief that a true teacher never stops learning.
