What the classes are
The timetable at Atha leans heavily on Pilates. Reformer and mat classes sit at the center of it, and many of them are described as strong or as working the core and pelvic floor. Barre Pilates appears too, along with a smaller set of yoga classes, including balanced yoga flow and sunrise yoga.
The quieter side of the schedule is made up of meditation, yoga nidra and restorative sessions. These are few in number but give a different pace, with a free 15 minute meditation and a restore and relax introduction to yoga nidra among the options.
How the week runs
Most classes fall in the morning, and about a third start before 9am. The busiest start times are 8:45am and 10am, with an evening peak around 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Midday is not part of the schedule, and weekend classes are a small share of the week.
Most classes run for around 50 minutes, with some lasting 45 minutes and a few running to an hour. The busiest days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Atha: A Wellness Studio: questions and answers
What kinds of classes does Atha offer?
Most of the classes here are Pilates, with reformer work, mat Pilates and barre Pilates on the schedule. Yoga, yoga nidra and meditation are present too, though in smaller numbers.
When do most people practice at Atha?
Most classes start in the morning, and about a third begin before 9am. The busiest start times are 8:45am, 10am, 5:30pm and 6:30pm, so an early start or an evening class both fit easily into the day.
Are there classes for parents with babies?
Yes, there is a yoga with baby class, along with a few other parent and child options. Classes like this are a small part of the timetable, so it is worth looking at the times ahead of a visit.
What should I choose for my first class?
Many of the classes are labeled strong or focus on the core and pelvic floor, which makes them a good fit for people who like their practice to be active. A handful are gentler, including restorative and yoga nidra sessions, so there is room to slow down as well.
Who leads the classes at Atha?
Atha is a studio, and its classes are led by a team of about ten facilitators. Jessica Fagan, Stephanie Emenecker, Alli Carrillo and Anni Ko lead some of the most classes, and Emelie Isaksson, Kaylen Dvoracek, Allison Wallner and Kristi Passehl are among the regulars.
