I have taken classes with both Celeste and Edana, both wonderful teachers! I love the Saturday morning Sweat to Sound classes (hot pilates + sound bath). It's the perfect combo - I get my butt kicked with a good workout and then get to relax and breathe to the sound bath to set my intentions for the day.

I absolutely love Protea Movement Studio! The hot pilates and steady warm flow classes are amazing, and the energy in the studio is always so positive and welcoming. There’s truly no judgment, and all of the instructors are so kind and helpful with modifications. As a bigger girly, it means so much to have a place where I can work out and feel included instead of judged. If you’ve been nervous about trying a class or starting your fitness journey, this is such a safe and encouraging space for everybody. I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. Highly recommend!

I truly enjoy coming in and the classes I've taken I've loved. My only issue honestly is the availability of classes when I'm not working, but I know that's a very hard thing for new studio to have.

Protea Movement Studio absolutely delivered the perfect reset. I took Sweat (Hot Pilates) to Sound with Edana Roberts, and it was one of the most balanced, intentional classes I’ve experienced. The first half pushed me exactly how I like to be pushed. Focused core work, steady intensity, and that deep, earned heat that makes you feel strong and alive. It was challenging without being chaotic. Every movement had purpose. The transition into restoration with sound bowls was seamless. The shift from effort to surrender felt deliberate and powerful. After building heat and fatigue, melting into the sound immersion allowed everything to integrate. It was not just relaxing. It felt recalibrating. Edana holds the room with calm confidence. Clear cues, grounded energy, and a presence that makes you want to lean in and work harder, then fully let go. If you want a class that strengthens your body and resets your nervous system, this is it. Highly recommend.
