TORONTO, Solis Movement’s new studio offers a refined setting for high-intensity hot yoga and Reformer Pilates. Designed by Simone Ferkul Projects, the space explores a quiet tension between softness and strength, using neutral-colored materials, light, and form to guide the body through the experience of movement.

A skylight carved into the ceiling draws daylight deep into the interior, establishing an immediate sense of stillness. The monolithic reception desk anchors the open lobby, while softly illuminated niches integrated into the custom millwork blur the lines between storage, retail, and circulation.

The Reformer Pilates studio opens as a light-filled volume, framed by expansive perimeter windows that bring daylight deep into the space. Meanwhile, the hot yoga studio, referred to as the sun room, integrates infrared heating panels within a carefully articulated ceiling.

The change rooms feature soft lighting, warm materials, and integrated millwork creating a spa-like atmosphere that encourages transition and pause. Thoughtfully detailed vanities, storage, and finishes reinforce privacy and comfort.
