Mouv Studio

I first came to Mouv in August, wanting to try a soundscape class in hopes of learning to relax and release tension after a busy work week, but what I got was more than I could have ever hoped for. After many years spent doing weight training /power lifting routines in commercial style gyms, I found my body in a constant state of soreness after being in an accident several years ago. The type of movement my body once loved began to stress it out, cause pain and inflammation and left me feeling defeated; I can now happily say that I’ve fallen in love with moving my body again! The Align classes at Mouv have become my favourite!! The heat helps relax my muscles, the breath work helps clear my mind of all it’s scattered thoughts and the instructors help create fun, yet challenging routines that leave me feeling energized & like I’ve had a great full body workout. I also love the somatic practice at the end of each class. I look forward to every class I get to attend and have been going 4-5x a week with the unlimited membership. The sense of community this studio holds within and the new connections I’ve made have been very humbling, having just moved here last year from across the country. Thank you Val for making your dream a reality and giving us all a place we love in the heart of Vancouver Island! ♥️

This studio is so welcoming and has a great variety of classes and class times. If you have never tried Pilates, yoga, or a sound bath they have it all. The $35 1-week intro provides an affordable way to sample the classes. My advice is if you are worried at all about trying something new or a new studio, this lovely community of incredible teachers will make you feel welcome when you walk through the door. Classes have adjustments and options for all skill levels, all bodies, and all strengths and flexibilities. I love that there are no mirrors and the sensory experience of being in the space, listening to the music, really allows you to focus on yourself and technique (no comparing!). Thank you Val (who is the best!) for bringing this beautiful collective space to our valley.

I’m so happy that the valley has a Pilates studio like Mouv. I love that the room is dark & heated. Val is amazing & there are some great new teachers too. There’s truly no other Pilates experience like this in the Comox Valley. If you’re looking for something elevated, intentional, and different from the usual studio setup, this is it!!

Mouv Pilates is a great addition to the Valley! I first tried Mouv in September with the $35, 7-day intro offer, since it was my first time doing Pilates. I ended up loving it and have been going ever since. Nova’s Elevate class is amazing, relaxing, grounding, and it leaves my body feeling strong and balanced. Val’s Align and Align Restore classes have become two of my favourites. While they’re different, they compliment each other really well especially when you attend multiple times a week. Val is an incredible instructor, and each class feels better than the last. I also really appreciate when offering support, Val moves around the room and offers gentle guidance it is especially helpful when you’re still learning. Mouv has truly become a favourite of mine. I’ve recommended it to several friends who joined as well, and they’ve all had great experiences too.

I’m so happy to have this studio in the valley! Mouv is such a lovely and welcoming space, and Val does an incredible job at making you feel comfortable in their classes. The sequencing of the movement flows so well with the curated playlists and each moment feels intentional. The cueing is always spot on which makes the classes very easy to follow, and modifications are always offered to accommodate participants of all levels. Thank you Val and Mouv ♥️
