More than

a workout

OCP started on the grass at a neighbourhood park, not in a studio. Everything on this page is the part that never changed — the classes, dinners, book stacks and plane tickets that turn a room full of reformers into a room full of people who know each other.

01 Outdoors

Pilates in the Park.

Mat classes on the grass, open to anyone who turns up. It is the format Oak Cliff Pilates began with in 2016, when Amanda taught free classes at Kidd Springs Park for whoever wanted to come, and it is still the easiest way to try us without setting foot in a studio.

We have moved on from Kidd Springs, but not from the idea — these are the parks you will find us in now.

No reformer, no membership, no experience needed. Bring a mat and a bottle of water.

Off the reformer

Nights & socials.

Four recurring formats. Some are classes, some are just a table and good company.

A few times a year

Gentlemen’s Night

We hand the reformers to the men — a class with Zak, Oliver or Pepe, specialty cocktails, and a proper hang afterwards. Bring the one in your life who still says Pilates isn’t for him.

Monthly · Fridays

Community Happy Hour

Caitlin takes a group of members and friends to a neighbourhood bar or restaurant for drinks, snacks and introductions. We’re working our way through every good place near the studios.

Monthly · Uptown

Book Club

There’s a book nook at the Uptown studio, run by Amanda Lauro of Forbidden Books. One book a month, snacks, wine, and an actual conversation. Our newest community, and growing.

Monthly

Athena

For women in perimenopause or menopause — and for anyone with someone in their life going through it. Monthly events pairing real education with real company.

Next Athena event

Hormones, hip openers
and a proper goody bag.

Saturday 26 September · 2:30–4:30pm · Lower Greenville · $25
With Nikita Sandouka, Stephanie Cole and Isabel German.

You’re met at the door with a Goddess Juice blend — no sugar, made for this event — and a coloured bracelet that walks you through three experiences over the afternoon.

What the ticket gets you

·

Your Pilates class.

A 30-minute reformer class led by Nikita, built for women’s bodies — hip opening, core strength, pelvic floor work.

·

Your wellness experience.

Vendor stations with complimentary small-area acupuncture and an introduction to ear seeding, a chair massage and mini hydration facial, a personalised Brazilian botanical body cream, and a custom lotion blended with essential oils and crystals chosen for where you are. Discounted B12 and Hydrate & Glow injections are available too.

·

Your expert session.

A small-group talk and Q&A with Dr. Chowdhry of Tailored Health and Aesthetics on hormone balance and how it shapes your health — the conversation women actually need to be having.

You leave with a goody bag of wellness samples and a pair of Athena Pilates grip socks made only for this event — we don’t sell them at OCP.

Attire: your favourite pink, white or purple set.

03 Class, then a table

Pilates & Brunch.

A class, then brunch with the people who were on the reformer next to you — hosted with the restaurants in our own neighbourhoods.

We have always worked the same way with the businesses around us: buy from them, build with them, send people their way. These mornings are that idea with a menu attached.
