Welcome to Your Movement Sanctuary

We are a contemporary reformer Pilates studio with classical inspiration, offering thoughtfully designed classes that help you discover your strength and grow at your own pace. We believe in a supportive approach with no shouting, pressure or unnecessary pushing. Everyone should be able to move safely at their own pace, as every body is unique. An effective workout doesn’t always mean going faster or increasing resistance; it’s about listening to your body and adjusting your practice to what feels right for you. We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Our style

At Ki, we believe movement is better when you feel like you’re part of something. Our studio is a place where everyone is welcome, exactly as they are. There’s no judgement, no pressure to keep up, and no comparison. Just good energy, supportive instructors, and a community that wants to see you feel good and grow at your own pace.

You don’t need to be experienced, flexible, coordinated, or “in shape” to belong here. Maybe you’re completely new to Pilates. Maybe you haven’t worked out in months or years. Maybe you need to take breaks, take modifications, or take every modification offered. Maybe your balance isn’t perfect, your activewear doesn’t match, or you’re simply having an off day. That’s all okay.

We’re not here to judge how you look, how much you can do, or how quickly you progress. We care that you showed up.

Our community is here to encourage you, celebrate your progress, and remind you that you don’t have to do it perfectly. Move at your own pace, challenge yourself when you’re ready, rest when you need to, and know that you’ll always have a place here.

Take a moment to catch up with studio friends in our lounge, join one of our wellness events or workshops, or simply enjoy the familiar faces you see in class each week. We love creating opportunities for our community to connect, support one another, and share the joy of movement.

Our members also get access to exclusive Ki Social events and special member-only experiences throughout the year.

Because Ki is more than just a place to take a Reformer class. It’s a space where you can show up as you are, move at your own pace, and feel like you belong.

Our community

Welcome to Ki Movement, nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto within the historic Malabar Building at 14 McCaul St.

Our studio occupies what was once the costume showroom of Malabar Ltd., a beloved Toronto costume emporium founded by Harry Malabar in 1930. For decades, Malabar was Canada’s leading supplier of theatrical and opera costumes, with garments crafted by master tailors and worn on stages across North America. The space was once filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and performers preparing for productions near and far.

Today, we’re honoured to bring a new kind of movement into this special space while preserving many of its original character and architectural details. Exposed brick, expansive Chicago-style windows, and an abundance of natural light create a warm, bright atmosphere that feels like an urban escape in the middle of the city.

The Story Behind Our Space

Honouring the History of the Malabar Building

We’ve also brought the outdoors in with lush greenery throughout the studio, creating a little space to reconnect with nature and find a moment of calm. Our lounge offers a place to relax, connect, and spend a little time with our community before or after class.

Our studio is equipped with 12 Balanced Body Allegro 2 Reformers, providing a safe, comfortable, and energizing environment to move. We also offer cold, filtered water so you can stay refreshed throughout your visit.

We hope that every time you step through our doors, you feel the energy of the space, the history that came before it, and the community that continues to shape it.

By bringing movement, connection, and new energy into this historic space, we hope to honour its creative past while creating its next chapter with you.

Thank you for being part of it.

Student love

  • Could not love KI movement more. Every instructor I’ve had has been unreal but a special shoutout to my queens Nelca Adel and irina The kindest most supportive instructors. Their classes hit muscles I didn’t even know I had and they’ve been so patient with me from the time I was a beginner and are super helpful as I have grown more comfortable with Pilates!!

    Hanna C.

  • As I approach my 60th class, I can confidently say I am obsessed with Kim and her studio! From day one I felt welcomed and every session leaves me feeling lighter, stronger, and re-energized! I’ve also had the pleasure of working with most of the instructors and I genuinely haven’t had one negative experience. If you’re seeking a studio that is judgement free and at the same time challenging, Ki Movement is simply unparalleled.

    Renee

  • This is the only studio I go to now! I used to studio-hop all the time and never found one that truly stuck until Ki Movement. The classes are the perfect size (small enough for personalized attention), the community is welcoming (everyone’s friendly and down-to-earth), and the space is beautiful (we love natural light and exposed brick).

    Jess

  • Wow, what a great first Pilates experience! As a newbie, I was pretty nervous, but Irina, the instructor, was absolutely fantastic. She made me feel so comfortable and supported throughout the class. The studio is new, and it’s clear they’re off to an amazing start.

    Natalie M

  • Absolutely love the vibe of Ki! I decided to give it a try as one of my fave instructor (Adel) joined their team! I took her Cardio & Jump class and it was so much fun! I like how different it was from her other classes I’ve attended! And now I’ll be going there at least 1x a week! New year, new studio, same instructor!

    Charisse A

  • I’ve been going to this studio since it opened last year and I absolutely love it!! The environment is so inclusive, and the instructors are incredible teachers (shout out to Catherine, Therese and Halle!). There are so many reformer studios downtown, and I’ve tried most of them, but I always find myself coming back here. Nothing else compares

    Ella

  • If you are looking for a reformer pilates studio that is spacious, beginner to advanced friendly, inclusive and welcoming Ki Movement Studio is it! Ki Movement has become my go to reformer pilates studio. The community they have built is so special and I am always looking forward to my next class!

    Bryanna K

  • Absolutely love this studio! After taking four classes, I can confidently say they’re intense, challenging, and empowering in all the best ways. Every session pushes me to my limits while leaving me feeling accomplished. And the owners? They’re the heart and soul of this place! Their energy, passion, and genuine care make the entire experience even more special. Couldn’t recommend this studio enough!

    Maya T

  • I recently tried Ki Movement, and it was an incredible experience! The facility is absolutely stunning—modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed to create a calming and motivating atmosphere. The instruction was great, with clear guidance and personalized attention that made the class both challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    Julia

  • Located upstairs, clean and spacious studio. There were about 10 reformers, and cubbies in the back for personal belongings. I took the intense and sculpt class with Erika, and she was great with instruction and took into account everybody's levels and restrictions they may have. The front desk staff were friendly and explained the equipment well because it was our first time :) highly recommend and will come back to try other classes as well!

    Bonnie C

  • I’ve tried all three of Adel Silver’s signature classes: Cardio & Jump, Power & Burn, and Move & Groove and honestly can’t pick a favorite. Cardio & Jump turbo-charges endurance, Power & Burn forges full-body strength, and Move & Groove boosts coordination while letting you dance the stress away. Adel is a phenomenal instructor whose crystal-clear cues, infectious energy, and genuine warmth transform every session into a safe, judgment-free space where you feel empowered to push your own limits. No matter which class you book, you’ll leave sweaty, smiling, and stronger in more ways than one.

    Adriana P

  • Had the most wonderful experience trying out Ki Movement, the space is so beautiful! I took Irina’s class and everything from the progressions throughout the class to the anatomical cues were on point and so very intentional. She was super welcoming and inclusive to everyone’s needs and bodies, guiding us through a very challenging but rewarding class. I will definitely be back soon!

    Arielle M

  • I really appreciate when instructors plan out unique sequences and so far every class I’ve been to at Ki has been really fun and challenging. Classes usually start with simple moves to get the body warmed up and progress into dynamic combinations. You get to use all different parts of the reformer and props. I like the intimate class size so that the instructor can come around and correct/adjust you. Studio is clean and bright and air circulates throughout. The variety of classes offered is also a plus.

    Yuri C

  • My boyfriend and I have been members of this studio since it opened, and we absolutely love it. We’ve tried classes with several instructors, and they’re all incredible. A special shoutout to Adel, who went above and beyond to modify movements for me after I injured my back, allowing me to continue training safely. If you’re thinking of trying this studio — do it. You won’t regret it!

    Anastasiia R

  • I discovered Ki Movement on Instagram and decided to give it a try since it’s close to where I live. The studio is absolutely beautiful, and the instructors (Sarina, Halle, and Adel) have all been so kind and welcoming. As someone who had never tried reformer pilates before, I was a bit hesitant at first, but the supportive environment made me feel comfortable right away. I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in reformer pilates. Plus, their zodiac socks are the cutest!

    Amy L.

  • Love this studio! The teachers are great and the vibe is super welcoming. They really care about proper movement instead of just rushing through exercises. The class pushed me in a good way—the instructor adjusted me so I could really feel the right muscles working. Moves I thought were easy turned out to be much more effective when done properly.

    Johanne D.

  • I started going to Ki Movement a few months ago and have been loving reformer Pilates ever since! The studio is clean and bright with a lot of natural sunlight. The instructors are welcoming, supportive, and bring such thoughtful approaches to their programs (my favourite instructors are Adel and Sarina)! It’s a space to go to unwind, get moving, and challenge myself. After class, I always leave feel refreshed, accomplished, and a little sore the next day (but in a good way)! I’m looking forward to continuing my Pilates journey here :)

    Dominique L.

  • I had such a great experience at Ki Movement for a private Pilates session to celebrate my friend’s birthday! The space is super clean, bright, and beautifully designed — it immediately felt calming and welcoming. The session was thoughtfully led, and it was such a fun and unique way to celebrate. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, high-quality studio experience!
