A person with long hair, styled in a ponytail, is performing an exercise using a wooden bar in a Pilates studio. They are viewed from the back, showcasing their tattoo on the upper arm and a sleek black workout outfit, with a geometric patterned wall in the background.

TUCKED AWAY on the side of the Antiques Plaza on Biscayne Boulevard is a beautiful boutique Pilates studio with a devoted following. We visited with Breathe Pilates Miami’s CEO Gretchen Wagoner to learn how she has created such a tight knit community around Pilates.

She keeps classes small so her team of specialized instructors are able to give personalized attention to each student. Some students arrive at Breathe because they are healing from an injury and others simply enjoy becoming stronger through movement. We were surprised at the comradery and the laughter. Listen to how her zoom classes kept people sane during the pandemic and how happy people are to be back together at “the studio that could”.
