Our Mission
We launched in October 2023 as our original opening date was directly impacted by the Lahaina Fire. Our mission was always to increase accessibility to boutique fitness and Pilates in West Maui through utilizing a sliding scale. We were able to fully embody that mindset by providing over 700 free classes to community in the year after the fire.

Our mission 2 years later is to increase education around the social determinants of health while helping people from all walks of life nurture an intimate relationship across their mind, body and spirit. Through creating the space for self-awareness, empowerment, and care; we aim to aid with stress management in real time and chronic stress over time by helping people to understand their role in communal wellness.
We have already disrupted the current industry with a simple truth;
Wellness is political.
Now, we maintain the work.
Our values
Mindfulness
Authenticity
Discourse
Respect
Equity
To the Hawaiian Kingdom and her rightful people, we owe immense respect, unwavering humility, and a commitment to being of service as we are called.
To the āina, we owe ongoing vigilance of our impact with conscious effort
towards protection, conservation, and preservation.
The land & people are not separate. May we remember how our behavior and choices directly affect others. We aim to fully embody and be in consistent service to the true spirit of aloha.

Our Vision
We look forward to our children and future ancestors walking boldly in who they are, supported on a solid foundation of access to equitable health care, education, and opportunity.
We daydream of the time when wellness is not merely an aesthetic, appropriation, or only accessible through an insatiable appetite to outperform or keep pace with others. In our ideal world, chronic stress becomes less of a burden for so many to carry because we embrace and respect our fellow humans and planet as more valuable than profit.
Everyone has more time for self care. Everyone is worthy. Ease becomes effortless because we have prioritized dignity and safety for both land and people. Collaboration reigns over competition.
Only then, can we take ourselves seriously about achieving wellness.
Affectionately, this is #NOTYOURMOMSPILATESSTUDIO and only people looking for deep strength will be called.
