                                      What to Wear: Feel Comfortable, Move Confidently

                                      We get it—trying something new can feel a little nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to knowing what to wear. Rest assured, we’re all about making EVERY-Body feel welcome. Whether you're flowing in yoga, dancing your heart out, or gliding on the reformer, we’ve got you covered with some simple tips to help you feel comfortable and confident. Number One rule - Be yourself and wear what makes you happy!! Sunglasses and beanies are optional but 100% recommended if you are as cool as the two kids below!!!

                                      Yoga 

                                      Think stretchy and breathable! Leggings, shorts, lose or fitted pants paired with a comfy top that stays in place when you move are perfect. Bare feet are best for your yoga practice—no need to worry about shoes or grippy socks here. and it can be chilly so bring a warm top if you like to be warm.

                                      Dance

                                      Channel your inner dancer! Wear something that lets you move freely and makes you feel fabulous, whether that’s leggings and a tank or loose-fitting pants with a tee. Depending on the style of dance, bare feet, socks or soft-soled dance shoes will work wonderfully. You can also bring out your Flashdance or Fame faves... IFYKYK (that is a reference especially for the gen X ers)

                                      Reformer & Mat Pilates

                                      Close-fitting, stretchy clothes are ideal so you can move easily and your instructor can see your alignment. Think leggings, shorts , a snug top, and grip socks are required for your safety (we’ve got them in the studio if you need a pair!).

                                      Love Lumen

                                      At Lumen Pilates, our mission is simple: to create a space where

                                      Kindness, Inclusion, and Safety are at the heart of everything we do.

                                      ​

                                      We believe that well-being is for EVERY-Body!

                                       

                                      Our studio is a sanctuary for people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, ages and abilities—especially for those who may not feel at ease in traditional gym environments.

                                      ​

                                      Oh and our class passes NEVER expire,

                                      we have no minimum periods for our memberships,

                                      no cancellation fees (EVER!).

                                      You can suspend or cancel anytime - no questions asked.

                                      ​

                                      Why? Because we believe it is just another way to be Kind - and because investing in yourself should be a positive experience in every sense.

                                       

                                      Whether you’re new to movement or deepening your practice, you’ll find a warm, supportive community dedicated to helping you feel your best—inside and out.

                                      ​

                                      Guided by our values, Lumen Pilates is more than a studio. It’s a place where you can reconnect with yourself, embrace self-love, and find joy in movement. Here, EVERY-Body is welcome!

                                      ​

                                      We look forward to meeting you at our Happy Place soon!

                                      ​
