For the People is a studio group offering traditional Yoga & Reformer Pilates classes.
We specialize in teaching mindful movement as preventative medicine.
We work with people between 25 and 80 to develop a lifelong commitment to healthy living that enables them to show up for the people and causes that matter most to them.
Our expert instructors offer classes of all intensity levels so that members can grow as they get stronger, flexible, and balanced.
We’re proud that we’ve been delivering healing movement and inspiring heart-centered living in the Athens community since 2008 and the Savannah community since 2025.
Our Promise
Love
We’re here to love on you. Our nurturing, trauma-informed environment keeps our students growing. Ask one of our staff for help anytime. Know that when we ask how you’re doing, we’re really listening to your answer because we care.
Authenticity
Pilates and Yoga are more than just exercise. By honoring the principles of Pilates and ancient roots of Yoga, our classes are more than just fitness - they’re healing movement. Plus, we’re real people who don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Alignment
Our goal is to help you fit the movement to your body - not to fit your body to the pose. No pretzel-ing necessary. Movement becomes meditation through our approach to alignment.
Experience
Over half of our staff have more than a decade of teaching experience, but please don’t be intimidated. We’re down to earth and believe newbies especially should be taught by experts.
Our Philosophy
We are passionate about helping people feel the confidence that comes from being aligned in mind, body, and soul.
Our kind instructors (who are the real deal with decades of experience), small class sizes, and community that feels more like a family are all designed to help you tap into the wisdom of your mind-body connection.
Our classes are for students of all shapes, life stages, and experience levels.
We believe everyone deserves to be well and that each individual who chooses to be at home in their bodies and minds empowers others to do the same.
This conscious act of community building is how we change the world-one class at a time, one pose at a time.
No matter who you are, where you’re from, what you know or don’t know, you are always welcome at For the People.
