Where to do Pilates in Copenhagen

Pilates is a powerful, low-impact full body workout that strengthens muscles, improves posture, and boosts flexibility. Created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates to help injured dancers rebuild strength and mobility, pilates was 

once called “Contrology” for its focus on precision and control.

Now, Pilates is a global movement celebrated for its core-focused, mindful approach. Be it on the mat or reformer, with consistent practice, Pilates transforms your posture, balance, muscle tone, and core strength, making it a go-to for a strong, flexible, and aligned body. 


Here are the top Pilates studios in Copenhagen for reformer classes, mat Pilates, private classes, and more:

Ara’kai

Nestled in a historic Copenhagen neighborhood, Ara’kai Practice is a movement studio that sits above the Ara’kai shop and treatment space, dedicated to holistic well-being through mindful movement and meditation. With a maximum of six participants per class, the intimate setting ensures personalized attention, enhancing your experience. The studio offers mat pilates, yoga, meditation, and weekly breathwork and sound baths, providing an attentive and nurturing space for deep relaxation and mindful connection of the mind and body.
