Chennai, (Tamil Nadu) [India]: Chennai has welcomed a new addition to its wellness landscape with the launch of Allies of Movement https://alliesofmovement.com/, Tamil Nadu’s first dedicated Classical Pilates studio. The studio is founded and led by Sangeetha, a Classical Pilates educator trained at The Pilates Center, Boulder, Colorado, USA, one of the most respected institutions for authentic Pilates education worldwide.
Introducing Authentic Classical Pilates to Tamil Nadu
The studio marks a significant milestone for Pilates practice in the state, introducing the original Classical Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates in a dedicated, purpose built environment.
Unlike conventional fitness studios, Allies of Movement is focused exclusively on Classical Pilates, a system that emphasises precision, breath, control, alignment, and flow. The method is known globally for its effectiveness in building strength while supporting joint health, improving posture, enhancing mobility, and developing deep body awareness.
Founder Led Instruction and Deep Method Expertise
Sangeetha, who is the founder, owner, and sole instructor at the studio, brings years of training and study into every session conducted at Allies of Movement.
“This studio is my vision of how Pilates should truly be experienced, with depth, discipline, and respect for the method,” says Sangeetha. “Allies of Movement is about creating strong, resilient bodies in a conscious and sustainable way.”
World Class Balanced Body CenterLine Equipment
A distinctive feature of the studio is its investment in Balanced Body CenterLine equipment, regarded internationally as one of the finest Classical Pilates apparatus lines available today. Designed to closely reflect the original proportions and mechanics of Joseph Pilates’ equipment, the CenterLine series supports both rehabilitation aware training and advanced conditioning with precision and safety.
A Purpose Designed Space for Focused Movement
The studio space itself has been thoughtfully designed to support focused, mindful movement. The environment reflects a calm, refined aesthetic aimed at encouraging concentration, physical awareness, and a sense of personal space, elements considered essential to Classical Pilates practice.
Curated Pilates Offerings for Long Term Wellness
Allies of Movement offers Equipment based Classical Pilates, Mat Pilates, and Online Pilates sessions, with programmes personally curated and conducted by Sangeetha. Each session is structured to address individual movement patterns, posture needs, and strength goals, making the studio suitable for beginners, experienced practitioners, and those seeking conscious, long term fitness.
A New Classical Pilates Destination in Chennai
With the opening of Allies of Movement, Chennai becomes home to a specialised Classical Pilates destination, introducing a disciplined, heritage based approach to movement and wellness in Tamil Nadu.
