five
teachers.
one room.
quiet form is built around its teachers. you book a class with a name. each teacher chooses their own format and pacing. they meet weekly to walk through the schedule together; we don’t teach a quiet-form “method.” we teach what each teacher teaches.
maren cole
maren opened the studio in 2018 after eight years between forma pilates new york and a small studio in tel aviv. her teaching is rooted in the classical line — long, controlled, breath-led. she still works the floor four mornings a week. when she isn't teaching, she's in the side room running privates or schroth scoliosis sessions.
“I learned to teach by watching the strongest students fail beautifully. that's still where I look first.”
asha varma
asha came from a dance background — five years in modern, three in butoh. she joined quiet form in 2020 and has built the moving format into the most-attended class on the schedule. her flows are continuous; the room moves as one body.
“a class is one sentence. if it has too many commas, no one finishes the thought.”
lior ben-ari
lior teaches with the quietest voice in the building, and the room follows it. background in physiotherapy and movement re-education, with a clinical eye for compensation patterns. teaches mostly moving, with the occasional resting class on thursdays.
“the cue you have to repeat three times is the wrong cue.”
noor patel
noor's classes are the room you book on the days you almost didn't come in. background in craniosacral therapy and integrative bodywork — much of her teaching is borrowed from work she does in private session. the slowest of our slow.
“we're not chasing a feeling. we're letting one arrive.”
kiri matsuda
kiri joined the team in 2023, after four years teaching at a san francisco studio that closed during the pandemic. her teaching is precise, structured, deeply attentive to alignment. she runs most of our prenatal privates and is the only teacher with a regular waiting list.
“alignment isn't a beautiful thing. it's a quiet thing.”
