Movement that supports a life well lived
Welcome to Pilates Etc., Oak Bay’s trusted Pilates studio for over 20 years. Founded by Liam Lavelle, a master teacher in movement rehabilitation, our studio offers more than just exercise—it offers a path to lasting strength, resilience, and confidence at every age.
As we grow older, the body can feel less dependable. Everyday tasks—bending, lifting, balancing—can become harder or even feel unsafe. But decline isn’t inevitable. With the right support, movement becomes medicine.
In a calm and supportive space, we help you stay strong, steady, and mobile—so you can live fully, move freely, and feel at home in your body again.
Mobility & Flexibility
Mobility is freedom—the ability to reach, turn, and move through life with ease. As we age, stiffness and tightness can creep in, making once-simple movements feel limiting or uncomfortable. Pilates restores your natural range of motion and flexibility helping you stay agile, upright, and fully engaged in daily life.
Balance & Fall Prevention
Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults—but they’re not a given. Pilates builds core strength, coordination, and awareness, helping you move with confidence and stability so you can stay on your feet and in your life.
Confidence & Independence
Confidence comes from knowing your body will support you. Pilates helps you trust your strength, improve posture, and move without hesitation—so you can enjoy your freedom and live on your own terms.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Whether you’re healing from injury or managing chronic pain, Pilates supports recovery with gentle, targeted movement. Each session is personalized to help you rebuild strength safely and restore your confidence.
