STAR Pilates
At STAR Holistic Services, we believe wellness is multidimensional.Our approach to care recognizes that mental, emotional, physical, and personal well-being are deeply connected. As STAR continues to grow as a holistic wellness centre, Pilates is one of the ways we are expanding our services to support the physical side of well-being.
Our Pilates classes are designed to help individuals build strength, improve mobility, increase body awareness, and develop a more intentional relationship with movement — all within the same supportive environment that defines STAR.
Find the Pilates Class That Fits You
Each Pilates class at STAR offers a different way to move while supporting strength, control, mobility, and overall well-being. Choose Tone for a strength-focused, sculpting workout, Burn for muscular endurance and continuous tension, or Ignite for a more dynamic, higher-energy class incorporating both mat and standing movement.
All classes are instructor-led, 45 minutes, and designed to be approachable for a variety of fitness levels.

A full-body Pilates class focused on sculpting, strengthening, and muscular endurance through controlled, strength-based movement. Expect a balanced mix of core, upper-body, and lower-body work with no cardio focus.
Burn
Full-body Pilates class designed to challenge strength, stability, endurance, and control using a 20-seconds-work, 10-seconds-hold-or-pulse format. Continuous muscular tension and dynamic, instructor-led workout from start to finish.
Ignite
A higher-energy full-body Pilates class combining mat work, standing exercises, strength, balance, and functional movement. Cardio intervals may also be incorporated to raise your heart rate while maintaining controlled, purposeful movement.
Why Pilates at STAR?
It is a form of low-impact movement that emphasizes strength, control, posture, mobility, stability, and body awareness.
At STAR, Pilates fits naturally within our holistic approach because physical well-being can play an important role in how people feel, function, and care for themselves overall.
Our goal is not to separate movement from wellness, but to offer it as another part of the broader support available through STAR.
Build Strength & Stability
Pilates uses controlled, intentional movement to strengthen the core and supporting muscles throughout the body, helping improve stability, balance, and overall functional strength.
Improve Mobility & Flexibility
Through guided movement and a focus on control, Pilates can help improve joint mobility, flexibility, and range of motion while supporting more comfortable everyday movement.
Develop Better Body Awareness
Pilates encourages you to become more aware of posture, alignment, breathing, and movement patterns, helping you move with greater control and intention.
Support Posture & Alignment
By strengthening the muscles that support the spine and improving body awareness, Pilates can help promote better posture and more efficient movement.
Move With Confidence
Classes are designed to help you gradually build strength, coordination, and confidence in your body, whether you are new to Pilates or continuing an existing practice.
Support Your Overall Well-Being
At STAR, Pilates is part of our broader holistic approach to wellness, offering another way to support your physical well-being alongside the other services available within our centre.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness
STAR Holistic Services was built around the idea that people should be supported as whole individuals.
Mental health is one part of well-being, but it is not the only part.
Through psychotherapy, group programming, wellness services, education, community partnerships, and now movement-based programming such as Pilates, STAR continues to expand the ways individuals can care for themselves.
Pilates allows us to support another important dimension of wellness by creating opportunities for people to move, strengthen their bodies, and invest in their physical health within the same welcoming environment.
You do not need to be a psychotherapy client at STAR to participate in Pilates. Our Pilates programming is open to the community.
