THE PILATES MAT ROOM
Welcome to The Pilates Room, a small, heart-forward Classical Pilates studio tucked across from the S.S. Sicamous. We teach the original method on authentic Classical equipment and real Pilates mats, with intentionally small classes and instructors who truly see you. If you’re looking for thoughtful teaching, real support, and movement that helps you feel stronger, more flexible, and more connected in your everyday life, you’re in the right place.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a system of exercises created by Joseph H Pilates to strengthen, stretch, and balance the body. It is a whole body workout and aims to connect the mind and the body through precise movement. It will help you to begin initiating movements from the center of the body and therefore create healthier body mechanics. Pilates is a great workout, but it can also be applied to everything else you do from lifting a child to running a marathon.
There are two beautiful ways to begin:
Option 1: Foundations Series
8 small-group mat classes designed to teach you the foundations, our language, and how things work here.
You’ll move alongside others who are starting in the same place, in a quiet, focused environment where you can learn the system properly and build real strength. Max 5 in group

COMMON QUESTIONS
New to Pilates? Or just new to us? We begin everyone with 3 Discovery Privates—one-on-one sessions designed to teach you the method properly, from the ground up. This is where you learn how Pilates actually works. How to organize your body so it does what it’s supposed to do. If you’re injured, rebuilding strength, or tired of being told to “just listen to your body” without being shown how, this is exactly where you belong. Pilates is simple. But it isn’t easy. And it works best when it’s taught correctly.
DO YOU PROVIDE A MAT? We provide all mats in the studio. You don’t need to bring anything except a watter bottle.
By early 2026, we’ll have the full Classical Pilates setup. Reformer, Electric Chair, Wunda Chairs, Cadillac, Barrels, Push-Up Device, Foot Corrector, Neck Stretcher, and of course, the traditional Classical mats. We offer small-group Mat and Chair classes, along with full-studio 1:1 Private sessions for anyone ready to experience the complete system the way Joseph Pilates designed it.
Where We’re Located
Across from the Sicamous on Okanagan Lake, The Pilates Room is a bright, boutique studio rooted in Classical Pilates.
You’ll work with the full Classical Pilates system, from Reformer to Cadillac to Wunda Chair, so your body gets everything it needs to move well, build strength, and move with ease.
