About Pura

Serious about movement.
Relaxed about everything else.

Built for people who want to move well, without the ego, the hustle, or the corporate wellness vibe.

Pura Pilates is a boutique studio on Sri Lanka's south coast. Small group reformer and mat classes, private sessions, and retreat programmes. The community here is a mix. Surfers, travellers, locals, remote workers. Everyone welcome. Ocean outside. Vibe warm.

In the room

Small groups. Real attention.

Eight spots on the reformers, up to fifteen on the mat. Small enough that someone watches how you move, puts a hand where it needs to go, and knows your name by the second class.

Never been on a reformer? Say so on your first morning and we will set you up on one properly.

Who is teaching

The people in the room.

Denitsa
Reformer · Mat · Mentor

Over ten years teaching group, private, corporate and retreat classes. High energy. Reads a room of bodies in seconds and adapts the class to whoever is in front of her.

Grace
Reformer · Mat · Yoga

American, a dancer since childhood, and twenty years on the mat. A background in education means she explains things properly, and her classes are about feeling good rather than getting it perfect.

Leah
Yoga · Mat · Reformer

Canadian, with ten years of yoga, movement and breathwork behind her, and a freediving instructor besides. Teaches breath first, then strength, and makes the room easy to walk into.
