A small studio on a quiet street in Makati

Tala opened in 2019 in a converted shophouse off Chino Roces. One room, eight mats, a row of reformers by the window, and a lot of afternoon light.

We keep classes small because that is the only way a coach can correct what they see. If you have never touched a reformer, say so when you write to us and we will place you in the right hour.

What people say after their first class

I came in convinced I would be the stiffest person in the room. Mia adjusted every rep without making it a thing. I left standing taller.

Andrea R.BGC, Mat Pilates Flow

The hour goes by slowly in a good way. My lower back stopped complaining after the third week.
