MOVEMENT THAT

LOVES YOU BACK

Studio Love is a social wellness club in Groton, CT, offering Pilates, yoga, meditation, and mindful movement for everybody and every body.

We have a class for you. No matter your experience level, body shape, background, age, or starting point.

Whether you’re brand new, coming back after time away, or have been moving for years. You are welcome here.

Studio Love exists to change the way people relate to exercise.

We see movement as an act of self-care and a celebration of what the body can do. Not a punishment for what you ate yesterday. Not a transaction toward a future version of yourself. Not something you suffer through to earn worthiness.

LOVE IS THE ROOT, NOT THE REWARD

LOVE IS THE ROOT, NOT THE REWARD •

We believe love is the root, not the reward. On your mat. In practice. In life.

Here, movement is intuitive, supportive, and human. You’ll feel more comfortable in your body. You’ll build strength without abandoning yourself. You’ll leave feeling steadier, clearer, and more at home in your own skin.

Hear from our community

  • As reflected in Studio Love’s message, the community is vital to supporting personal and collective transformation through shared practice and wisdom. This philosophy, as taught by inspiring guides like Annie and Maggie, invites a lifelong journey inward, where the world indeed becomes a studio for applying these timeless teachings. I cannot express enough gratitude for the transformative experience. A journey of growth, connection, and self-discovery. A special thank you to our incredible teachers, Annie and Maggie, whose guidance, wisdom, and warmth have been the heart of this journey. From laughing and crying to blossoming as a community, they’ve nurtured us in every class and every interaction. The mat was just the beginning, and now, with their inspiration, the world becomes our studio. Thank you, Annie and Maggie, for shining your bright light and leading us with such grace. Namaste!

  • I had a hard time finding a workout routine that fit what I was looking for. Maggie’s Pilates and Yoga classes were the perfect fit. Maggie comes to all of her classes with an energy of strength and kindness. Each class is a challenge leaving me knowing I am getting stronger. Her approach has made me more aware of my body, posture and how to move it in the most beneficial way. However, the best thing about Maggie is her acceptance of everyone and ability to adjust classes to meet individual needs. Because of her approach I invited her to lead a class for my work team. Each of my team members complimented her class and left feeling restored and ready to face work challenges. I cannot emphasize what a good instructor she is!!!

  • True beauty and authenticity radiate from the inside out, and these words embody Annie & Maggie as the beautiful humans they are. My experience with this powerful duo has been life-affirming spiritually, mentally and physically. As teachers, they entice you to your edge in the most supportive, kind way so that what is no longer necessary can fall away with ease. YOGA is a verb, a way of moving through the world from a place of love for oneself and a oneness with all living beings. Annie & Maggie impart this knowledge through direct instruction, and perhaps even more so by example.

    —Maggie Bucaram

  • Maggie is an exquisite Pilates instructor. Every class is planned and executed to perfection. She keeps a keen eye on each student, to ensure the integrity of form and alignment. Maggie has deep knowledge of anatomy and yoga which she brings to her Pilates instruction. Just watching her move gracefully through the studio is highly motivating.

We teach movement, but what happens here reaches further than your body.

It shows up in how you talk to yourself.
How you care for yourself.
How you move through your day.
How you show up in your life.
