Our Story
Founded in 2025, Corso Movement was brought to life with a simple goal, promote physical and mental wellness in a space where everyone feels welcome from the moment they walk in. For many, finding a place to move that feels both welcoming and inspiring can be harder than it should be. Corso Movement was built to offer exactly that.
Here, Pilates and yoga are more than workouts, they’re a way to pause, recharge, and move with intention. Life already asks so much; you shouldn’t have to plan your own playlist, design your own workout, or push through on your own. At Corso Movement, you can simply arrive, and be guided as you strengthen your body, quiet your mind, and restore your energy.
Every detail from the class experience to the welcoming front desk is intentionally designed to make your wellness journey effortless and fully supported. Whether the goal is challenge, calm, or simply a break from the noise of the day, there will always be a place to belong here.
The Corso Experience
More Ways to Move
One studio, endless ways to move. From Reformer Pilates, heated/unheated mat classes to hot yoga and strength training, our thoughtfully curated classes help you build strength, improve mobility, and find balance. Whether you're looking for a challenge or a slower pace, there's something for every body and every stage of your movement journey.
Premium Equipment, Elevated Movement
Our Reformer studio is equipped with top-of-the-line Balanced Body Allegro II Reformers, recognized for their smooth movement, precision, and versatility. Designed to accommodate a wide range of exercises and resistance levels, they provide a comfortable, supportive experience that lets you get the most out of every session.
Thoughtful Instruction, Meaningful Progress
Great movement starts with great instruction. Our experienced instructors bring their own expertise and teaching styles to every class, offering clear guidance, thoughtful modifications, and challenges that meet you where you are. Whether you're new to Pilates or building on years of practice, we're here to help you move with confidence and continue progressing.
Rooted in Community
Located in the heart of Corso Italia, we're proud to be a neighborhood studio where community and hospitality go hand in hand. From a warm welcome at the front desk to the familiar faces you see in class, we believe the little details make all the difference. Our goal is to make every visit feel personal, welcoming, and worth looking forward to.

Jacqueline: Yoga Instructor
Yoga, meditation, and a spiritual practice have been part of Jacqueline's daily life for the past 12 years. After discovering yoga at age 24 during a very challenging period, it became a powerful tool for reconnecting with her body, finding stillness, and creating a deeper sense of balance. Over the last decade, she has practiced and taught yoga in retreat settings around the world. In 2022, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Yin, Vinyasa, and Hatha Yoga at Green Yoga International Retreat Center in Mallorca, Spain.
