Before you Arrive
How to prepare
Your first class is going to be great. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
All classes are pre-booked and paid for online through our booking app. We are a cashless studio. Please arrive 5 minutes before your class so we can begin on time. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, and bring Pilates socks with grips on the soles. Please leave personal items in your car or at home — we have hooks for jackets and purses. Any class cancelled within 24 hours of the start time will be charged in full.
To book your Intro session, contact Alysha at 250-667-2140.
Testimonial
"Danica has done a beautiful job curating this space and experience. Both Danica and Brianne are fantastic teachers that are kind, knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. I have never enjoyed exercise, but have done it begrudgingly for the benefits. These ladies have changed that for me by introducing me to Pilates. They met me where I was at, and helped me to make progress. Some classes kick your butt (in the best way), others are more relaxing, and help you connect with your body alignment and breath."

"The best Pilates studio in town! Awakened is an inviting, calm studio where you feel part of a special community from your very first class. The instructors are patient, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. I have gained strength, more flexibility and better balance while having fun in every class I’ve attended. Absolutely love Awakened Pilates Studio!"

"The awakened Pilates environment is so beyond welcoming and warm! Danica allows everyone to work at their own level and adjusts every exercise to make sure no one is uncomfortable! After just a few classes I am definitely going to be a regular!"
AISLINN WELBURN
Testimonial
"Stepping into Awakened Pilates feels like entering a little sanctuary of comfort and small luxury—while also knowing you're about to get an incredible workout. The instructors are amazingly knowledgeable and super attentive, especially Danica, who can spot if you're the tiniest bit out of alignment from across the room. She’s right there helping you adjust so that you feel safe and supported, especially if you’ve had past injuries like me."

Testimonial
"I’ve been going to Awakened Pilates for about 10 months now, and I can honestly say it’s the first workout I’ve ever actually enjoyed. That’s because Brianne and Danica are so much more than instructors—they’re warm, kind, and genuinely care about everyone who walks through the door. They’ve created such a welcoming space where I feel supported, challenged, and part of a community."
