Studio Tao Pilates
The Pilates Method at Studio Tao
Pilates is a full body movement system designed to strengthen core muscle groups, stretch, balance and re-align the body, enhance coordination and develop a deeper connection to your centre.
We offer private, duet and small group classes using a combination of pilates apparatus and the traditional matwork, both in studio and virtually. Our light filled private space is fully equipped with hand built classical pilates equipment by Legacy apparatus. The studio is conveniently located in the heart of south west London, walking distance between Clapham Common and Brixton.
Our Ethos
Our mission is to exercise the mind as well as the body. Finding the right balance between the two is the key to building a foundation of inner focus, strength and control.
At Studio Tao we wish to create a nurturing and safe environment, where people feel comfortable in learning how their body works and how to use it in their every day life.
We aim to avoid the strains of traditional big group classes and allow our teachers to address the individual’s needs, whilst working the whole body. We are dedicated to the art of teaching Pilates and wish to share the deeply profound effects it can have on our mind and bodies.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Lao Tzu.
Tao; signifies the way, the road, the path one follows. Also the method or principle. At Studio Tao we use Pilates as our method to rediscover the body and connect its inherent physical power. We offer the first step in this journey; of movement exploration to access the limitless possibilities within.
CLASSES
At Studio Tao, we offer a mix of private and small group sessions both at our dedicated studio and online. Depending on the schedule and individual client’s needs we offer classes in the classical, contemporary, rehabilitation and clinical styles.
Our studio group equipment classes are limited to a maximum of 3-4 clients and a maximum of 6 clients for studio matwork classes.
We’re always expanding our schedule to meet the needs of our community. Please submit a request if there is a class you would like to see added to our current list.
