Studio Love is where movement becomes devotion. We're a boutique wellness studio in Groton, Connecticut offering Reformer Pilates, heated and non-heated yoga, meditation, and mindful movement classes designed to help you feel stronger in your body and more comfortable in your life. WHAT WE OFFER - Reformer & Tower Pilates – Small-group equipment-based classes using spring resistance for balanced strength, mobility, and endurance - Mat Pilates – Low-impact, alignment-focused classes using bodyweight and props (heated and non-heated options) - Heated Yoga – Baptiste-style power yoga and heated vinyasa in infrared-heated rooms - Yoga – Multiple styles including slow flow, restorative, yin, and gentle yoga for all levels - Meditation & Breathwork – Guided practices for stress relief and nervous system regulation - Workshops & Events – Monthly programs, specialty series, and community gatherings - Private Sessions – One-on-one and small group training for personalized support ALL BODIES. ALL LEVELS. ALL WELCOME. You don't need to be flexible. You don't need to "look" a certain way. You don't even need to like exercise. You just need a body and a willingness to show up. Studio Love was built for real people living real lives – the ones who show up tired, messy, running late, covered in dog hair, with coffee breath and bad attitudes. You belong here exactly as you are. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Movement as care, not correction. We believe your body isn't a project to fix – it's a home to live in more comfortably. Classes are grounded in science-backed methods, taught by expert instructors, and designed to help you build sustainable strength without burnout. Community as sanctuary, not scene. Studio Love is a social wellness club where names are known, connection is real, and you can linger after class to answer emails, sip tea, or catch up with friends in our welcoming lounge space. OUR APP MAKES IT EASY - Book classes in seconds - Manage your credit-based membership (use credits across Pilates, yoga, workshops, and privates) - Track your class history and favorite instructors - Get class reminders and studio updates - Access your membership details anytime FLEXIBLE CREDIT-BASED MEMBERSHIPS Unlike traditional studios that lock you into rigid packages, Studio Love uses a credit system that gives you freedom. Buy a monthly credit bundle and spend it however you like – all reformer classes one month, a mix of yoga and Pilates the next, or save credits for a workshop or private session. It's wellness on your terms. FOUNDED BY COMMUNITY Studio Love was created by Annie Chapman and Maggie Skinner, mother-daughter co-founders who've been teaching yoga and Pilates in Groton for over a decade. This isn't a corporate franchise – it's a love letter to the community that raised them. COME AS YOU ARE No guilt trips. Only joy rides. Download the app, and get ready to move with us. Studio Love – Love in Action.
