At Soteria Pilates in Maitland, we believe movement belongs to everyone. Our studios in Winter Garden and Maitland were created as safe, uplifting spaces where people of all backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life can come together to breathe, strengthen, and grow.
Lately, conversations about “Pilates & Prayer” have made their way into headlines. Some people love blending their faith with movement; others prefer Pilates as a quiet, secular practice. At Soteria, we honor both perspectives, and we keep our focus on what unites us: the transformative power of mindful movement.
Respecting Every Journey
Pilates has roots in physical culture and rehabilitation, not in any one religion. Over the years, instructors everywhere have paired it with reflection, meditation, or prayer in ways that fit their communities. Our approach is simple: we respect personal choices while providing a neutral, welcoming environment for all.
Whether you come to Soteria for core strength, stress relief, or a few moments of peace, you’ll find teachers who meet you where you are, no agenda, just guidance and support.
A Studio Culture of Inclusion
- All beliefs welcome: We don’t teach or promote a specific faith tradition in class.
- Space for reflection: If quiet time or prayer is part of your personal routine, you’re free to honor that silently before or after class.
- Focus on connection: Our instructors emphasize posture, breath, fascia-informed movement, and a community that celebrates mutual respect.
Living in Central Florida means our community is beautifully diverse, from deeply religious families to those who aren’t spiritual at all. We see diversity as a strength.
Why It Matters
True wellness is about feeling at home in your own body and in the space where you practice. By keeping our doors open to everyone, we permit people to show up as they are, free from judgment or pressure to conform.
That’s what makes Soteria different: we’re not just a fitness studio, we’re a community built on kindness, integrity, and belonging.
