Studio Solea is a reformer Pilates studio at 743 Mount Eden Road in Mount Eden, Auckland, with small classes and a method of its own. Its signature class, Solea, is for all levels and mixes controlled resistance with restorative stretches. Foundations is for beginners, and focuses on precision and breathwork. Pulse adds higher resistance and complex sequences, and previous reformer experience is recommended. It is not suitable for people with injuries or who are pre- or postnatal. Pause is a slower, restorative class using reformer flow and tower-assisted stretches. New clients can try five classes for $60 (as at 2026), valid for two weeks from the first booking. Class packs run for three months from purchase, and the website also mentions a limited number of founding member spots for unlimited classes.
Customers describe the space as calm, beautifully curated and quite unique, and say the classes felt intentional. One student says the instructor explained the purpose of each movement, so it felt like real Pilates. Others say the instructors are knowledgeable, patient and correct posture, and that they leave feeling energised. One customer who has done two intensive classes says they had no back or neck pain afterwards.
