Move, breathe, come back to yourself.
A Pilates and Aquapilates studio in Bali, Douala. Groups small enough that you get corrected by name, and a café people stay in for an extra hour.
The studio
A room for every body, at every stage.
There is no minimum level at Cove, and no body you are supposed to have before you start. New to it or ten years in, loose or stiff, in shape or coming back: the class adapts to you rather than the other way round.
That is why the groups stay small. We can see what you are doing, correct it while you are doing it, and send you home with a sensation rather than an instruction.
Sound familiar?
Holding it together, quietly worn out.
You are on your feet all day. Your back stopped keeping up with it months ago.
The gym wears you out. You wanted to feel better, not just more tired.
You have stopped three times. Each time for a perfectly good reason.
Strength is not won against your body. It is found with it.
