Our Pettygrove Location is Moving


A Time of Transition

Over the last 16 years Studio Blue has strived to be one of Portland’s leading wellness centers, offering an array of services like Pilates, massage, esthetics, and acupuncture. We have grown with the love and support of our community, families, amazing team, and friends. Some of you have been with us since the beginning! It’s this love that saved us the last 3 years and kept our doors open, spirits alive and hearts full.

This June our Pettygrove location lease ends and it’s with a heavy heart full of gratitude that Jen and I have decided to not resign our lease. This was not by any means an easy decision to make but one we feel honors where we are both at in our personal lives.

Studio Blue Will Continue

Jen will still be partnering with me on retreats and other events. She’ll also have more time to focus on her other business, The Door Works, and her family.

I will be taking over full ownership of Studio Blue and transitioning to a smaller boutique space in the Pearl. The space will offer Private Pilates and a few group reformer classes. Some of our Pilates teachers will transition with me and some will work out of their home studios or other studios close by. I’ll keep you posted on where everyone is going in the months to come.

Our Mat Class Community

Our mat community will forever hold a special place in my heart. In 2004 I took my 1st Pilates mat class and had no clue it would forever alter and shape the course of my life. Thank you for all your support, sweat and laughs.

Our mat program will continue in the form of pop ups throughout the city and workshops. Keep following our newsletter to know when and where.

What Does This Mean For Our Current Clients

The Pettygrove location will be closing on June 17th, 2023 and all packages and credits must be used by then. If you are a current client your practitioner and our management team will be reaching out to you separately. We will be sending out more newsletters on what equipment is for sale, where your favorite teachers are going and pics of the last 16 years.

One Last Party

We are going to have one last SB party on Saturday June 3rd from 7pm – 10pm to celebrate the last 16 years and to give clients a chance to chat in person to see where their favorite wellness practitioners are going.

We will continue to provide the highest quality of care to you as we transition.

Much Love,
Dan and Jen

Pilates All Levels w/ Audra, 8/17/21, 60 min


Focus is placed on precise movements originating from the center or core of your body. Working from the deepest layers of muscles, which stabilize and support your spine and pelvis. The result being a stronger, more flexible spine with ideal posture and alignment. Classes emphasize the foundational principles of Pilates while offering modifications and variations.

Sculpt w/ Anna, 1/26/21, 60 min


This class starts standing using movements to warm up and mobilize the spine and all major joints. The first half of class you’ll continue to be upright working on squatting movements, lunges, planks and balance work. We’ll add in props like hand weights to challenge coordination and work the arms. The standing leg and arm work will feel similar to moves we do on the Pilates reformer. The second half of class moves down to the mat and focuses on core work, spinal articulation and glute work using props like the Pilates ring and mini band. Your instructor will offer modifications for each fitness level in class however it may not be right for you if you have any injuries or pain that might be exacerbated by squatting or lunging movements.
