A Note From Me to the Community

Dear Rare Form Pilates Community,

I’m excited to share some news about the next chapter for the studio.

As of November 1, the studio will officially transition to Ritual Form, a classical Pilates studio under the Ritual Moves umbrella. While this marks a change in ownership, it is not a closing, simply a continuation of the studio you already know and love.

I’m thrilled to be passing the studio on to Kati Villavicencio. She is a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor with over a decade of experience. Her approach to movement is rooted in classical Pilates and somatics with a focus on mindful, compassionate teaching. She is the founder of the Ritual Moves studios in Brooklyn and Austin, TX. The Providence location of Ritual Form will be added to the Ritual Moves portfolio as a sister classical studio to the existing Ritual Form in Austin, TX. I’m excited for you to get to know her and for all the wonderful new energy she will bring to the space!

The studio itself will remain as is; bright, airy and Gratz-equipped. Lavhana and Julia will be staying on to teach, ensuring that Ritual Form will continue the high level of instruction and care you have come to know and expect at the studio. 

I will be moving on from the studio, but I feel incredibly excited about the future and about what this evolution will bring. After 13 years in this community, it means everything to me to know that the studio is continuing forward in such good hands.

A note about existing sessions: If you currently have unused sessions, October 31 is the final day to use them under the current studio. Any unused sessions will not transfer to Ritual Form and will not be available for use after the transition. Please plan accordingly and book any remaining sessions before the October 31 deadline.

As we get closer to November 1, Kati will share more details about the new class schedule, software system, and other updates so that the transition is as seamless as possible. In the meantime, check out ritualmoves.com and follow the existing studios on Instagram: @ritualmoves and @ritualformpilates

Thank you for being such an important part of this studio and for your support over the years. I’m incredibly grateful for the community we’ve built together, and I’m excited to see the studio continue to grow and evolve.

With endless gratitude,

Laura
