NEW ORLEANS (press release) – DEVOTION STUDIOS, a state-of-the-art Reformer Pilates and aerial fitness studio, officially opens its doors in the French Quarter this September.
Devotion Studios is an 1800 sq. ft fitness studio in the heart of the French Quarter. The space, owners share, is comprised of two adjacent Studios: Studio 1 is the dedicated Pilates Studio, offering eight state-of-the-art Private Pilates Cadillac Reformer machines. Studio 2 focuses on aerial acrobatics – with four versatile rigging points, mats, mirrors and a variety of apparatuses to train on.
Founded by longtime friends and collaborators Anya Sapozhnikova and Olivia Katz, the two share that DEVOTION STUDIOS brings together what they love most about reformer Pilates and aerial fitness under one roof. The studio is designed to provide New Orleans high quality training in a warm, welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.
“Our mission is simple: To improve lives through movement – because moving together has the power to transform us, and so the world, from the inside out,” said Katz.
In addition to group Pilates and aerial classes, Devotion Studios offers private sessions and group bookings and various wellness workshops. As the studio grows, programming will expand to reflect the passions, interests and expertise of folks here in town. We are also currently hiring additional Reformer Pilates instructors.
The studio has a distinctive studio resident — Boaz, a six-foot boa constrictor — who lives on-site in a custom fabricated terrarium. His presence, much like the studio itself, is treated as part of everyday life in New Orleans: unusual, but entirely fitting.
Devotion Studios is located at 216B Chartres St. (between Bienville and Iberville).
