About Sanctuary
OUR STORY
COME TO OUR GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24
HOW IT BEGAN
A Studio Born from Passion and Place
Sanctuary Pilates was born from a simple vision: to create a Pilates studio that feels as restorative as the island it calls home. Founded by Amy Williamson, Sanctuary is the culmination of years of teaching, learning, and a deep love for the Pine Island community.
Pine Island is a place apart — unhurried, natural, and deeply connected to the water and land around it. Amy wanted to build a studio that reflects that spirit: calm, intentional, and genuinely welcoming to everyone who walks through the door.
We're currently putting the finishing touches on our beautiful new space at 5261 Pine Island Road and can't wait to open our doors in early Fall 2026. Whether you're a lifelong Pilates devotee or stepping onto a mat for the very first time, Sanctuary is being built with you in mind.
WHAT TO EXPECT
An Intimate, Intentional Experience
Sanctuary is intentionally small. We keep our class sizes intimate so that every client receives real attention — not just a spot in a crowded room. Our instructors know your name, your goals, and your progress.
We offer mat Pilates, reformer classes, private sessions, and duets — all designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence. Whether you're building strength, improving flexibility, recovering from injury, or simply seeking balance, there's a place for you here.
WHAT SE STAND FOR
Our Values
No two bodies are the same. We take the time to understand your unique goals, history, and needs — then tailor every session accordingly.
Personalized Instruction
We believe in doing things right. Our instructors prioritize form and alignment above all else, ensuring you move safely and effectively.
Proper Technique
Sanctuary is for everyone — beginners, athletes, those recovering from injury, and everyone in between. You belong here.
A Welcoming Space
Pilates is as much about the mind as the body. We encourage presence, breath, and intention in every movement you make.
