Get Moving with CAIA

A Pilates class for women who want to feel stronger without feeling like they have to know the room before they walk into it. We're teaming up with plus-size content creator, model, and certified Pilates instructor, Emma Arletta. She is bringing her experience to the CAIA crew; curve-focused class where you can learn the movements, work at your own pace, and know that you're in a safe space to listen to what your body needs. Come with experience or come curious. 

We are hosting TWO classes (one heated, one non-heated) with community mingling in between so we can get to know each other, cool down with a bevy or get excited to walk into class. Claim your spot in your preferred class below.

Non-Heated Class: 1:00 - 2:00pm
Community Mingling: 2:00pm - 2:30pm
Heated Class: 2:30pm - 3:30pm

What is Pilates?

Get stronger. Feel at home in your body.

Pilates is movement designed to build strength, stability and confidence in the way you move.

You don't need to know your way around a Pilates studio. You don't need to have a perfect form. You don't need to already call yourself “a Pilates girly.”

This class is a place to learn, move, try things, get stronger and figure out what feels good for you. We've intentionally built the room for different experience levels, different bodies and different starting points. Emma will guide you through the class with demonstrations, offer modifications when you need them and help you find the version of each movement that works for you.

Come if you've never taken a Pilates class. Come if you've taken plenty. Come somewhere in between.

More 
Control

Move with intention, not momentum. Pilates teaches you to slow things down, pay attention and build strength through controlled, deliberate movement.

More Core Connection

Pilates helps dial in your core to support your spine, stabilize your body and help you feel more connected to the way you move.

More Body Awareness

Pilates gives you a chance to learn how your body moves, where you feel strong and where you might want a little more support, space or mobility.

More 
Intentionality

There is no need to rush through a movement just to get it done. Pilates is about breathing with your movement and learning how small adjustments can make a big impact.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Pilates experience?

No. Emma teaches this class to provide value for people who are brand new to Pilates, people who are getting back into it and people who already train regularly.
What if I've never taken a Pilates class?

That's completely fine. You won't be expected to know the movements ahead of time. Emma will demonstrate and guide you through the workout and offer modifications as needed.
What should I wear?

Wear comfortable workout attire that you can move in, and if you have Pilates socks, you can wear them, but they aren't necessary for a mat class. Bring water and a towel for sweat. 
Is equipment provided?

Yes. All equipment needed for the class will be provided.
Can I participate if I have mobility limitations?

Yes. Please let us know at the time of your ticket purchase so we can coordinate with Emma to offer modifications based on different mobility needs and individual circumstances. 
Parking?! What is the parking like?

Street parking is available. Some metered and some not. Meters are free on Sundays! We recommend using the Spot Angels app if you need to see which spots are available.
What if I'm pregnant?

Emma can work with pregnancy-related modifications. Please communicate with her before class so she can help determine appropriate modifications for your needs.
What happens after class?

In between the non-heated and heated classes, we will host our CAIA community ritual, with a bevy and sparkling conversation. Meet other ladies in class and hang out with us! This is where the magic happens.
Can I get a refund?

Tickets are non-refundable. If you can't make it, you can transfer your ticket through the CAIA group chat at the original ticket price.
Is there an age limit?

No limit! You just have to be 18 to participate.
