I have gone to nearly every pilates studio in Dallas over the past 10 years, Kiva has the BEST instructors. They take the time to be precise on movements and explain exactly what muscles you should be engaging which is critical for classic pilates.

I highly recommend this studio for both beginners and advanced students as I believe form is the most important part of pilates practice. Not to mention the studio is absolutely STUNNING. Do your body a favor and skip the “power pilates” studios that have 10+ reformers in each class. At Kiva you will receive advice that is personalized to your body and posture. This is now the only pilates studio in Dallas I go to.

This place is amazing! After going to the studio consistently for a few months, I can see and feel significant changes in my body. This is the only workout I have ever found myself wanting to come back to week after week.

Janine and the other instructors truly take the time to work with their clients as individuals, especially in a group class. In the world of crazy, trendy workouts, Kiva is an amazing place to come and work with kind, intentional people. Pilates can be an intimidating environment sometimes, but Kiva is the place to start, even if you have no experience. This is so rare to find in an instructor, much less a whole studio!

Kiva Pilates has a cool, crisp, and nurturing mood to it. Lighting comes from the windows filtered sun and the cool ambient lighting throughout the space. No drill sergeant routine here. Instructors are all highly skilled, compassionate, amusing, and fun to work with. They encourage me to push myself only to my limits on any particular day. Pilates isn’t just physical, it’s mental. My mind cannot wonder because I’m too focused; it requires a lot of concentration. I always get two focused experiences in one session. With all my heart, I recommend Kiva. Students range from 20s to 70s, so with the wide array of abilities, there is much flexibility to my training. I’m 62, and I believe Pilates keeps my mind and my body strong, fluid, and balanced. I love Kiva.

“I absolutely love this studio. The owner, Janine, is so nice and welcoming (along with all the other instructors). Small classes so that the instructor can give instant feedback. They also offer private lessons that has helped me progress and feel more confident in my practice. Can’t say enough great things about KIVA pilates!”

“As an OB/GYN physician, I have seen many of my pregnant patients benefit from taking pilates throughout their pregnancy and these private sessions have been a game changer for them during stressful times!”

I found this amazing studio while pregnant and looking for a prenatal class where there was little chance of injury and to improve my labor. This prenatal class here is amazing! Highly recommend! Then I took some private classes postnatal starting 6 weeks postpartum with the studio owner Janine who is very knowledgeable with all things Pilates, and she helped me focus on areas that needed the most attention. Now I am over a year postpartum and attending all of the regular classes when I can. I love the different equipment options and the strong focus on full body work and slow movements rather than fast pace with potential injury from poor posture or technique. If you want a true Pilates experience with an awesome staff, try Kiva! Just be sure you get the class BEFORE class starts because they will lock the door right on time with no exceptions.

This studio is THE inspiration for finding my joy in movement. I would like to share my latest discovery after being an active member at this studio for over a year: I have decided to step up in Pilates art of movement and sign up for private sessions instead of going only to group classes. Like most of us, I had the desire to improve my body and certain areas that had been bothering me for a while, and I needed guidance on how to personalize certain movements according to my body to improve my posture and reduce the chance of injury. It is the most technical Pilates studio in all of Dallas: the instructor’s knowledge is heads and shoulders above anyone else’s and all my concerns were addressed and solved with ease. Yes, it is an investment, but towards your health and a better understanding of your own body alignment. The knowledge I gained during the private sessions is with me during group classes and I could not be happier with the results. I am forever grateful and am always anticipating my next class.

I’ve been taking private sessions and classes at Kiva for several years now and can’t say enough good things about it. I was new to Pilates and tried different studios in the beginning. Everything about Kiva just clicked. The instructors are top notch. They take a personal interest and have helped me work through different injuries successfully. The vibe is very positive and encouraging. Also the facility is beautiful and calming with lots of natural light. I feel like my practice has really advanced under their care. I would highly recommend Kiva!

Kiva Pilates is Pilates done correctly. The owner, Janine Ferris, is a stellar teacher and leader for her team. Classes are about form and getting the best workout possible for each particular body. I feel healthy and strong every time I leave the studio. Private classes with Janine are well taught with meticulous, energetic attention to detail. She leads a team of teachers with the same dedication and determination that she has. The space is beautiful with trees all around and perfectly clean. I won't take Pilates anywhere else in Dallas. Kiva is perfect.

I just love the instructors and the culture of KIVA. The aesthetics sets the perfect tone for clear minds and moves. The small classes create an intimate level of training that is unique and valuable. I also really appreciate the quality of the instructors - best in class for Dallas! This is where to go if you want to work the right muscles at the right time, make meaningful change, and enjoy yourself during the work.

Amazing space with awesome natural light and great equipment. The instructor was super informative and gave great cues during class. Met the owner who introduced herself before class and she could not have been nicer. Felt welcomed from the second I got there.

I had never taken a pilates class prior to my experience at KIVA. I was nervous that I would be inexperienced or unable to keep up, but from the first moment I stepped in the studio, the instructors were so friendly and made me feel very welcome. During my first three classes, they made sure to explain the various techniques to me and gave me individualized attention so that I had the opportunity to improve. I have since purchased a membership and am in love with pilates and KIVA. I drive 45 minutes to go to this studio and won't go anywhere else. I also think the management is exceptional. Janine always says hello when you walk in the door and has made KIVA a wonderful place to learn and study pilates. If your new to pilates, I recomend you give KIVA a try!
