our Seattle Pilates & Wellness Studio
Evolving in Wallingford since 2006
At Studio Evolve, we love to welcome folks who’ve got WORK to do in the world - whether that’s building their careers, giving back to their communities, or showing up 100% for their families.
Our people commit to their self-care because it is the fuel that gives them comfort, confidence, and energy for the rest of their lives.
Studio Evolve is for you if…
You’re a lifelong lover of movement - but as you approach middle age and your body is changing, your old routines aren’t working for your body anymore - you’re looking for something safe, smart, and sustainable to keep you active as you get older.
You’re a life-long exercise-avoider - and if this is going to stick, it needs to happen in a kind, welcoming environment, and it’s GOT to be fun!
You used to do Pilates/Gyrotoinc/practice yoga/go running/play sports 3/10/15 years ago. But then kids/pandemic/work stress/life happened. We’ve got you! We’d love to help you build a self-care routine that actually works with your life AND helps you meet your goals.

“I was afraid that I was not going to be able to get through an entire workout because I was really out of shape.
“But what I learned is that at Studio Evolve, ANYTHING can be adjusted to meet my current level of fitness.
“And so my fear of not being able to complete a workout went away after coming to just one class.

However you got here, we recommend you get started with the Intro 2 Private Pilates or Gyrotonic Sessions Package. It’s designed specifically for folks who are new to Studio Evolve (and those who are coming back to a regular movement practice post-pandemic!)
This is exactly what happens when you walk through the door at Studio Evolve:
You’ll get 2 private Pilates or Gyrotonic sessions to use within 7 days.
In your first session, your teacher will ask you about any injuries or pain you’re experiencing and your goals for your practice.
Then, they’ll take you through a posture and movement assessment to discover how your posture and muscular balance might be impacting your energy and comfort levels, and how Pilates or Gyrotonic may be able to help.
You’ll do some movement based on basic Pilates or Gyrotonic principles specifically chosen to help you turn on sleepy muscles, release muscles that are overworking, and move your body towards alignment.
Later that week, you’ll come in for a second private session. You’ll continue to learn and practice Pilates exercises specifically chosen for you and your body.
Then, your teacher will recommend a custom weekly practice, which could include private Pilates or Gyrotonic sessions, Reformer classes, and sometimes SPRe bodywork or Breathwork. If you generally prefer a class to pa private session, just let us know and we’ll do our best to get you ready for classes after your two session Intro package.
Don’t worry - our teachers are trained to give you realistic recommendations that actually work with your schedule and your budget - because that’s what really works in the long term!
self care is the fuel, not just the reward

Almost anyone! Because it’s low-impact and high-payoff, our instructors can meet you where you are, no matter your age or ability. Both Pilates and Gyrotonic activates less-used muscles and challenges you, in a friendly way, with unfamiliar movements performed in proper alignment.
Our diverse clientele ranges in age from teenager to senior and in fitness level from self-described “couch potato” to triathlete.

We hear you - viewed from afar, the Pilates Reformer or Gyrotonic Tower might look like it time-warped here from the Middle Ages. And it does have sort of a judgmental name. But we promise it’s not a torture device!
Our Reformers have their roots in the original Pilates equipment, which Joseph Pilates made out of hospital beds to rehabilitate wounded soldiers during World War I. Reformer springs give your body both resistance and support. Along with other Pilates equipment like the Cadillac and Wunda Chair, the Reformer gives you feedback for healthy alignment. The Gyrotonic Tower works similarly in that it gives your body the support it needs to grow. The Gyrotonic apparatus was created by Julio Horvath when he was rehabilitating his body post injury.
Your teacher can show you how to adjust the equipment settings, springs and straps. After just a few lessons, you’ll feel confident managing your own equipment settings in a group class.

Yes. And in some super interesting ways. Might you indulge us while we geek out about them?
…OK we’re going to take that as a YES!
Do you know about your vagus nerve? It’s a long, shaggy, meandering nerve (vagus means “wandering” in Latin) that connects your brain, heart and gut together. It’s basically the queen of your parasympathetic nervous system - aka the chill out/rest-and-digest one. You want your vagus nerve to be healthy and strong - aka “high vagal tone.”
Deep breathing, like the kind you do in Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions, turns the vagus nerve on enough that it acts as a brake on your stress response. Plus, both methods helps you develop interoception - the capacity to sense yourself within your body. Learning to recognize and respect your body’s interoceptive signals tends to your vagal tone.
-
In general, we recommend clients to start with our Intro Sessions before starting group classes. You’ll learn Pilates fundamentals and equipment basics that will help you get more out of your group class work. However, if you have done Pilates apparatus work before, go ahead and jump on in to one of our Small Classes.
