OCTOBER AT V PILATES & YOGA

​

Strength. Balance. Restoration.

​

October is a month for finding rhythm.

​

After September’s Back to Self, we move into October with a focus on Strength, Balance & Restoration—building strength with intention, creating greater balance in the body, and recognizing that meaningful progress also requires time to restore.

This month brings new opportunities to explore your Pilates practice with Pilates Apparatus Lab, a full schedule of weekly yoga and mobility classes, and something special on Sundays: a rotating 11:30 AM practice offering a different experience each week.

Whether you’re ready to challenge yourself, refine your technique, improve mobility or simply slow down and recover, there is a place for all of it in your October practice.

​

NEW: PILATES APPARATUS LAB

Our new Pilates Apparatus Lab classes give us more freedom to explore the Pilates method beyond a single piece of equipment.

Depending on the focus of the day, we may work with the Reformer, Tower and Chair, individually or in combination. Familiar exercises can take on a completely different feeling when experienced on another apparatus, helping you make new connections, refine technique and continue progressing.

Expect creative sequencing, focused instruction and opportunities to explore more challenging or nuanced movement.

Because Apparatus Lab may include more complex exercises and transitions, it is best suited to clients who already have a solid Pilates foundation and are comfortable working on our equipment.

​

SUNDAYS IN OCTOBER: SOMETHING DIFFERENT EACH WEEK

You asked for variety—and we loved the idea.

Throughout October, our Sunday 11:30 AM class will rotate, giving you four different ways to complement your Pilates practice.

October 4 — Shanti Yin Yoga
Slow down and settle in. Longer-held floor poses encourage the body to gradually release while creating space for quiet, breath and stillness.

October 11 — Sunday Recovery
A more targeted approach to recovery. We’ll combine stretching, mobility, myofascial release and supportive props to address accumulated tension and help the body feel noticeably more open and refreshed.

October 18 — Mobility & Stretch Lab
Explore how your body moves. This active, practical session combines mobility work, stretching and different techniques for improving comfortable, usable range of motion.

October 25 — Restore: Deep Rest & Release
We finish the month by doing less. Supported restorative poses, bolsters, blankets, breathwork and extended relaxation create an opportunity for both body and nervous system to truly settle.

Each Sunday has its own purpose and personality. Come to the practice your body needs most—or experience all four.

​

YOUR WEEKLY YOGA PRACTICE

Our regular yoga schedule continues throughout October, providing an important balance to the strength and precision of your Pilates practice.

Tuesdays — Flow to Restore
A mindful blend of movement and restoration. We begin with gentle, purposeful flow to mobilize the body, then gradually transition toward deeper stretches, quieter poses and relaxation.

Thursdays — Mobility & Stretch Lab
Part practice, part exploration. We use movement, stretching and props to address common areas of restriction and work toward greater mobility and comfortable range of motion.

Saturdays — Gentle Yoga
An accessible, unhurried practice combining gentle movement, breath, balance, stretching and restorative poses. A wonderful way to reconnect with your body and begin the weekend feeling more open and grounded.

 

FIND YOUR OCTOBER RHYTHM

Some days your body is ready to work harder. Some days it needs precision rather than intensity. And sometimes the most productive thing you can do is give yourself permission to slow down.

October gives you room for all of it.

Build strength in Pilates.
Explore in Apparatus Lab.
Create space with yoga and mobility.
Restore and recover on Sundays.

The goal isn’t simply to do more. It’s to create a balanced practice that helps you move better, feel better and continue progressing over time.

Expert Instruction. Personal Attention. Meaningful Progress.

We look forward to practicing with you this October.
