EMBODY Studio is a positive movement studio in the heart of Blenheim, New Zealand, built around a simple focus: your wellbeing, body and mind. From its Queen Street space in the CBD, the studio brings together contemporary reformer Pilates, hot and room-temperature yoga, hot mat Pilates, Breathwork, and Red Light Therapy in a full-body RLT pod — all under one roof.
Reformer Pilates sits at the core of the timetable, offered both in group classes and one-on-one private sessions, so you can train alongside others or get individually tailored attention. Yoga comes in heated and room-temperature formats, and hot mat Pilates adds a sweatier, mat-based strength option. For those drawn inward, guided Breathwork sessions and the Red Light Therapy pod round out a genuinely holistic offering.
The studio was born from founder Sarah's own turning point. Her first chance encounter with breathwork in 2021 changed the course of her life — at a time when anxiety and low confidence had her feeling stuck — and from that experience EMBODY was created: a sanctuary where people can do something just for themselves. Today she is a reformer Pilates instructor and breathwork facilitator, and leads a team dedicated to the same mission.
EMBODY prides itself on having something for everybody, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned mover. New visitors can take advantage of the intro offer — any 3 classes for $49 with a 14-day expiry — and the studio's own app on Google Play and the Apple App Store makes booking and managing classes easy. The studio is open 7 days a week and looks forward to welcoming you into what it calls its beautiful, nourishing space.
Step into EMBODY Studio on Queen Street and you'll find a positive movement studio in the very heart of Blenheim's CBD — a place built around one clear focus: your wellbeing, body and mind. The studio's own words capture it well: "Step into EMBODY to focus on you. We have something for everybody."
That promise is backed by an unusually broad timetable for a regional studio. EMBODY brings together contemporary reformer Pilates, hot and room-temperature yoga, hot mat Pilates, Breathwork, and Red Light Therapy in a full-body RLT pod — all in one nourishing space, open 7 days a week.
Reformer Pilates is at the heart of what EMBODY does. Classes run in a group setting, but if you'd rather work on specific goals, one-on-one private sessions are also available. Yoga is offered both heated and at room temperature, so you can choose the environment that suits you, while hot mat Pilates delivers a mat-based strength workout with the added intensity of heat.
Beyond the physical practice, the studio's recovery and mindset offerings set it apart. The full-body Red Light Therapy pod gives members a dedicated recovery tool, and guided Breathwork sessions invite you to work on the mental side of wellbeing.
EMBODY's origin story is deeply personal. Founder Sarah's first encounter with breathwork in 2021 changed the course of her life. At the time she was consumed by anxiety, with little confidence or self-esteem, and felt stuck in patterns she couldn't break. One breathwork session became her turning point.
"Breathwork became my turning point," she writes. "It took me beyond the layers of my conscious mind into my subconscious, where I could finally process, purge, and release."
From that experience EMBODY Studio was born — a sanctuary where people could do something just for themselves, something that would help them feel and be better. Three years on, the studio is thriving, and Sarah has completed her breathwork facilitator training. Alongside being a mother of two and a business owner, she is a reformer Pilates instructor and breathwork facilitator, living the transformation she now shares with others.
New to the studio? The intro offer is the natural first step: any 3 classes for $49, valid for 14 days. It's enough to sample reformer Pilates, a hot yoga class, or even a first taste of breathwork before committing further.
EMBODY also has its own app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, making it simple to browse the schedule, book classes, and manage your visits from your phone — with the philosophy that self care starts here.
You'll find EMBODY Studio at 27 Queen Street in Blenheim's CBD, open 7 days a week. Bookings can be made through the online schedule or the app, and the team can be reached on 03 5776227 or via [email protected].
Whether you come for a sweaty hot yoga flow, a precise reformer session, a quiet moment in the RLT pod, or a breathwork journey of your own, EMBODY's promise is the same: a welcoming, nourishing space where the focus is entirely on you — and where, as the studio says, there is something for everybody.
