Why Classical Pilates?

Classical Pilates builds deep, lasting strength and mobility. It is a precise, proven system designed by Joseph Pilates where every exercise purposefully prepares your body for the next.

Why the Classical method? Because it works. There is no guesswork. The original system guarantees clear, intentional movement designed to refine your posture, balance, flexibility, and core strength.

Portrait of Teya Lorts, Stance Pilates founder

Hi, I'm Teya.

My path to Pilates began from a need to regain control. After a movement disorder diagnosis ended my professional dance career, I had to be determined to find my way back. I learned that movement is medicine, but only if the precision is exact.

I know how high the stakes are when it comes to your health. A generic group class failed me when I needed it most, proving that casual instruction can be dangerous. I became a teacher to ensure you are never dismissed.

Today, I use my experience to catch the subtle imbalances that others miss. Whether you are recovering from an injury or conditioning for elite athletic performance, I am here to help you secure a foundation you can completely rely on.

Who is Stance For?

Whoever you are, the practice meets you where you stand. Here are three people who find their footing at Stance Pilates.

The High-Performance Professional

For executives, clinicians, and professionals making decisions all day. While you are active, the mental load of your career often causes physical stiffness and disconnects you from your body.

In the studio, you channel that focus inward to actively command your mechanics. You walk in carrying the weight of decision fatigue and walk out feeling grounded, connected, and physically clear.


I love the luxury of being guided. For one hour, I do not have to plan, I just have to be present.

The Elite & The Active

For athletes, fighters, cyclists, and dedicated gym-goers. You do not need more conditioning; you need the missing link in your deep structural strength.

By targeting the stabilizing muscles that traditional training overlooks, this practice improves your mobility and helps you move faster, lift heavier, and stay in the game without the wear and tear.


Your core engagement helped me lift more weight at the gym.

The Structural & Specific

For individuals navigating scoliosis, sciatica, or injuries. When generic fitness classes cause pain, you need a studio that understands specific anatomy.

This practice utilizes the full system of classical apparatuses to support your unique spine, protecting your joints by strengthening you where you are weak and challenging you where you are strong.


Pilates is the only workout that agrees with my body.

The Studio

Pilates is frequently reduced to just the Reformer or the Cadillac, but it was designed as an interconnected system of multiple apparatuses. We have a full classical suite featuring the premium Contrology line.

Having access to the entire system means your practice is never limited to a single machine. Every unique piece of equipment provides distinct feedback, allowing you to experience the method exactly as it was intended for true Pilates workout.

"We retire too early and we die too young. Our prime of life should be in the 70’s and old age should not come until we are almost 100."

FAQ

We begin with an assessment of your movement patterns and goals. Unlike a group class where you might get lost in the crowd, this session is designed to make you an active participant in your own body. You will move through a personalized sequence on the Pilates Reformer and apparatus, focusing on control and precision. You should leave feeling refreshed, lighter, and more capable than when you walked in.

Group classes are wonderful for fitness and flow, but they often move too fast to really teach you why you are doing a movement.

Private sessions are an education. They are designed to increase your body awareness so you aren't just going through the motions.

Here is how the experience differs:

  • Internal vs. External Focus: In a group, you often have to look around to follow the choreography. In a private session, I teach you how to feel the movement from the inside out. You stop relying on the mirror and start relying on your own muscles.
  • The "Why": It isn't just a workout; it’s a lab. If a movement feels weird, we pause. I explain the mechanics and help you understand your unique bone structure, so the exercise actually makes sense to your brain and body.
  • Safety & Strategy: You won't just get a good workout; you will get a "user manual" for your body. You will learn exactly how to modify exercises for your specific tightness or injuries, giving you the tools to keep yourself safe in any class you take.

It’s the difference between following a routine and truly understanding your body.

Your first session is your consultation. We use the first appointment to assess your posture, alignment, and range of motion while moving. This allows us to build a program that supports your life in motion immediately.

For Private Sessions:

Packages are designed for your individual progression and are non-transferable to another person.

For Duet Sessions:

One client acts as the primary booker. The full session fee (or credit) is charged to the account holder who secures the slot. We do not split payments in-studio, so please settle up with your partner privately.

Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows you to move with freedom and ease. Grip socks are not required.

Yes. Giving the gift of movement is a wonderful way to support a friend or loved one.
