Depth is the difference.

Somaspace was founded by Amanda Vernor, a GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer and Classical Pilates Instructor, dual-certified in the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska. For 24 years, she has taught with integrity and authenticity: guided by her own healing journey and through her ever-deepening understanding of the two methods offered at Somaspace.

In our West Austin studio, you'll work with a passionate and practiced team of instructors who are certified in Classical Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method. Sessions are complete, whole-body workouts taught with precision and care. Here, you’ll build lasting strength, fluidity, and ease: the kind of movement that makes you feel younger, lighter, and more capable every day.

The Methods We Teach

  • Classical Pilates Method

    Most Pilates today reflects fragments of Joseph Pilates' original work. Before it became a trend, it was a method: a complete, interconnected system designed to develop a uniformly strong and flexible body.

    At Somaspace, that completeness is non-negotiable. Our instructors are certified through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska, protégée of Joseph Pilates, through both Romana's Pilates and Alycea Ungaro's Real Pilates program in New York.

    You’ll experience the method as it was designed: rigorous, restorative, and remarkably effective.

  • The Gyrotonic Method

    Developed by Juliu Horvath, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® uses specialized pulley towers and unique apparatus to guide the body through spiraling, three-dimensional patterns that restore mobility and coordination.

    We recommend this method to allow clients who wish to build strength, flexibility, and agility through breath-driven sequences that no other method replicates.

    As the home studio for GYROTONIC® Austin Central, our Master Trainer, Amanda Vernor, offers the complete suite of Gyrotonic equipment, providing an authentic experience of this transformative method.
