About | ORA Pilates & Yoga

How It Began

Founded with Purpose in Quezon City

ORA Pilates & Yoga was founded with a clear and passionate purpose: to give the people of Quezon City access to world-class Reformer Pilates and Yoga in a space that truly feels welcoming and safe. Located at 18 East Lawin, PhiLam Homes — near the heart of Trinoma — the studio was chosen for its community roots and accessibility.

Our founder, inspired by the transformative effects of Pilates on her own posture, strength, and mental clarity, set out to create a studio that wasn't intimidating or exclusive. She envisioned a place where beginners could walk in nervous and leave empowered, and where experienced practitioners could deepen their practice in a thoughtfully designed space.

The name ORA is rooted in intention — a reminder that the time you invest in your body is never wasted. From the warm-toned studio walls to the professional-grade Reformer machines, every detail was chosen to create an experience that makes you feel seen, supported, and motivated to come back.

Our Approach

The ORA Philosophy

Move with Intention

Every session at ORA is guided by mindful movement — we focus on quality over quantity, ensuring each exercise is performed with purpose and proper form to build real, lasting results.

Community First

We believe that the people you move with matter as much as the movement itself. ORA fosters a genuine sense of belonging — a community where everyone encourages each other to show up and grow.

Progress Over Perfection

Whether you're on your first session or your hundredth, ORA celebrates every step forward. Our instructors meet you exactly where you are and help you reach further than you thought possible.

What Guides Us

Our Values

Accessibility

We believe quality movement should be available to everyone — which is why we keep our studio inclusive, our booking simple, and our space welcoming to all body types and fitness levels.

Safety & Form

At ORA, doing it right always comes before doing it fast. Our instructors prioritize correct technique to protect your body and maximize the long-term benefits of every class.

Genuine Care

We genuinely care about your progress — our small class sizes exist so we can actually see you, correct you, and celebrate your wins alongside you.

Joyful Movement

Fitness should feel good. We create an atmosphere that is warm, encouraging, and — yes — genuinely fun, because the best workout is the one you actually look forward to.

Long-term Wellbeing

We invest in your long-term health — not just your short-term goals. Pilates and Yoga done consistently build the kind of strength, posture, and resilience that serves you for life.
