Services
Classical Pilates works to connect your body, mind, and spirit through concentration and control of one's own muscles. Classical Pilates is a full body workout that both stretches and strengthens at the same time, with a deep emphasis on the core. No muscle is ever over-trained or under-trained. It improves joint mobility and flexibility, improves posture and balance.
The Studio Marin offers small group Classical Pilates classes as well as privates and duets. Due to high interest in private sessions and to minimize the number of people in the studio, in person group classes will remain off the schedule until further notice. Virtual classes are offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and some Saturdays.
Carolyn and Sarah lead you through a quick workout targeting those 3 big muscle groups that we always want to tone quickly! We start with 5 minutes of abs, move into 5 minutes of butt and finish with 5 minutes of arms. Grab light weights for the arm section, but if you don't have them, just move your arms with us!
We're proud to offer our NEW 15-Day Workout Challenge Series! The challenge is broken down into 3 week segments, with 5 new videos a week (for a total of 15). See below for additional info. This quick classic Pilates mat routine takes you through the intermediate mat routine, only doing 1-3 reps of each movement.
The Roll Up exercise is second in the classical Pilates repertoire. Because so many people find it challenging to perform this exercise with control, in this video we offer some tips on how to move with less momentum and more control, Watch until the end for two challenges for those who are more advanced.

Carolyn & Sarah have created an outstanding classical pilates studio. The gorgeous space is clean and calm, allowing you (and them!) to really focus on the practice. They are genuinely interested in each participant, and the small group classes allow specific feedback and individual adjustments. They are highly skilled instructors, providing classes that are challenging, varied and interesting. You will be longer and leaner, taller and stronger, and more defined in no time!

Sarah and Carolyn are among the most talented classical Pilates instructors in the country; they also happen to be two of the most engaging women anywhere. I have been a client of Carolyn's City studio (Keep It Classical Pilates) for two years, and Sarah has been my principal instructor there since she returned to the Bay Area in July. The Studio is amazing -- bright, beautiful and welcoming; I cannot wait to receive my instruction in this space.
Sarah and Carolyn both have discerning eyes and communicate the principles of classical Pilates clearly and concisely. I give my unreserved highest praise
