“Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.”

-Joseph Pilates

ABOUT

House of Classical Pilates is a dedicated Contrology studio preserving and teaching Joseph Pilates’ original method.

​

Located within walking distance of Downtown Napa, our studio is rooted in the traditional Joe’s Gym approach—where clients learn their individual Classical order and, over time, develop the confidence and independence to move through their practice with an instructor there to guide, refine, and progress the work.

​

For those newer to the method, we offer a clear path into this style of practice through private instruction and fully guided Foundations classes. As your understanding grows, so does your independence.

​

At House of Classical Pilates, we believe progress comes through consistency, precision, and repetition. You’ll learn to understand your body, move with intention, and take ownership of your practice—building not only strength and control, but confidence in the work itself.

The Joe’s Gym Approach

Our studio is modeled after the way Joseph Pilates originally taught in his New York studio. In this short video, Jay Grimes—who studied directly with Joseph and Clara Pilates—explains the approach that inspires how we teach at House of Classical Pilates today.
