What is taught here
Birdhouse Studios is a place built around Pilates. Reformer classes make up more than half of the timetable, with variations such as reformer classical fusion, reformer X and reformer fusion, alongside mat Pilates and cardio work.
Yoga runs alongside, with heated vinyasa, power yoga and yoga sculpt, and a few classes are open to all levels. Aerial and circuit training add variety for those who want something different from the mat.
How the week runs
Most classes last about an hour. Classes start from 6:15am and run until 7:45pm, with busy start times at 7:30am, 8:45am, 4:30pm and 7:45pm. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are the busiest days.
Because more than half of the classes fall in the morning, the studio suits people who want to practice before work. Evening classes are fewer, and weekend classes are rare.
