What Is Pilates & Why It Might Be the Practice You’ve Been Missing

Come home to your body, your breath, your
self.

A free, soulful session for high-performing women of color exploring what Pilates really is—and why it just might be what you've been missing.

You've been getting more intentional - about your energy, your peace, your body.

But when it comes to movement? The options out there don't always feel... made for you.

This is different

This is a warm, real conversation about Pilates-what it is, how it works, and why so many women of color are finding themselves in it.

Come curious. Come with questions. Come with a glass of wine if you'd like.

We're keeping it real, welcoming, and soft on purpose.

What You'll Learn in This Free Session

What Pilates actually is—and how it helps you heal body and breath

Why consistency is devotion, not discipline (goodbye guilt and burnout)

How softness and ritual repair your nervous system

Why women of color are reclaiming this practice as their sanctuary

What you can expect in your first mat or reformer class (no, you don'thave to be "fit" first)

This isn't a webinar. It's a vibe.

"Pinot & Pilates

Talk."

Come as you are. Glass in hand. Camera optional.

This is the soft launch of your soft era.

Meet Your Host:

MAYA

Founder of Homecoming Pilates.

Trained instructor.

Recovering perfectionist. Woman of color

doing the work-and helping you come

home to your body, your breath, your self.

"I created Homecoming because

I needed it. I wanted a space where

we didn't have to explain, shrink,

or perform-just show up and breathe

deeply. Pilates gave me that. Now

I'm passing it on."

Why This Talk Matters

If you’ve been high-achieving but heart-heavy…

If your shoulders stay tight, your hips tense, your mind on overdrive…

If you’ve tried fitness classes that never felt made for you…

_{This is your return.}

This isn’t just about movement. It’s about reclaiming your softness, your rhythm, your homecoming.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Welcome to Homecoming Pilates-your space to realign, restore, and return to yourself. Here are answers to some of our most common questions:

How should I prepare for my first class?

Come as you are—with an open mind and a body ready to move. Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing you can stretch and flow in. Bring a water bottle, grip socks (if you have them), and a yoga or Pilates mat for mat classes. If you don’t have a mat, we’ve got you covered—just let us know ahead of time.

What if l've never done pilates before?

Perfect. Homecoming was made with you in mind. Whether you're brand new or returning to movement after a long break, our classes are welcoming, beginner-friendly, and paced to help you build confidence. We specialize in guiding you gently but powerfully through every breath, stretch, and lift.

What is your teaching style

We lead with intention, empathy, and education. Our instruction is trauma-informed, cue-based, and deeply attuned to the needs of women of color—body, mind, and spirit. Expect grounded energy, clear guidance, and a focus on both strength and softness.

Is Homecoming strictly for women of color?

Our studio is founded by and created for women of color, which means our programming, culture, and care are centered around their unique needs and lived experiences. That said, anyone who respects and uplifts this mission is welcome in our space. If you honor and love women of color, you’ll feel right at home.

Do you offer private sessions or group classes?

Yes! We offer both:
- Private 1:1 Reformer sessions
- Semi-private training (Duos & Trios)
- Mat classes (small group sessions)
