Per the latest government mandates, masks are now optional at Pilates O Ka Lā. Instructors continue to wear masks often, and always when clients do the same. We have Dyson air filters in both studios, and in the Makai studio we are able to open windows which allows for nice trade wind breezes (along with AC of course). We have spaced our equipment more than 6 feet apart and limited capacity for our classes for everyones safety. All equipment and high traffic areas are cleaned with a CDC approved cleaning agent between each client visit. All instructors at the studio have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. We also ask that our clients limit their interactions between classes to prevent spread.

Please use our hand sanitizer or wash your hands upon entering the studio. After your group class you will be responsible for cleaning all the equipment that you use during class. Instructors will clean the equipment for private, duo, and trio clients. Please keep at least 6 feet from other students, staff, and instructors at the studio.

Please notify the studio immediately so that we can anonymously notify anybody who you may have interacted with at the studio so they can get tested as well.

Pilates is a physical fitness system that was created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. Grounded in technical, controlled movement sequences and breath, Pilates encourages a well balanced body that emphasizes ergonomic posture, core strength and proper muscle recruitment.

Since its creation, Pilates has been gaining popularity and respect from both health professionals and athletes alike as a reputable method for injury prevention, supplementary training, rehabilitation, athletic conditioning and a sustainable form of exercise. Practicing Pilates on a regular basis can improve posture, stability, flexibility, balance, endurance, muscle tone and improved cores strength.

Don’t let the equipment intimidate you! It was designed to help guide your movement patterns and support you. Once you learn the ropes it’s incredibly addictive. No one is expected to have any previous Pilates knowledge, we will teach you how to set up your equipment properly for your body, and choose the exercises that are best for you. All fitness levels are welcome! We separate our group classes into beginner, intermediate & advanced levels so that everyone gets the most out of their workout, and Private sessions are customized just for you.

We recommend that you wear fitted workout wear in order for us to see what you're doing and for you to move without constriction. For women that means 'yoga-wear' - leggings and top are great (try to avoid pants with a zipper or pocket on your low back). For men that means long shorts or pants and t-shirt or tank. Avoid short/running shorts and wear underwear - you might be doing hip-stretching. Be comfortable! Don't forget your socks!

If you’re new to Pilates we do strongly encourage you to try at least one private session for a more personalized introduction to the Pilates work. If that’s not an option for you, our group classes are separated into levels. Try our “Fundamentals“ class first, which prepares new students or those new to working out to get started. If you are already comfortable with exercising, try our “Foundational” class which teaches the beginner level Pilates exercises.

Once you have a good understanding of all of the beginner level exercises, ask your instructor if they recommend you moving on to the intermediate level. Our advanced class requires thorough knowledge of the beginning and intermediate classical Pilates order and an instructor approval. Please make sure you are approved before you sign up for the advanced class.

Sign up on the waitlist. You may have a chance of making it into the class as often times people can cancel due to unforeseen circumstances.
