A new name after 19 years

For 19 years we’ve been The Power Yoga Company, PYC to most of you. Now that we’re offering Pilates alongside yoga, we’ve updated our name to PYC Studios.

The letters you know are staying. What they stand for has grown a little, and we wanted to tell you why.

Why we changed it

PYC now stands for Pilates Yoga Co. When we started, power yoga was the heart of everything we did, and the name said exactly that. Adding Pilates to the timetable meant the old name no longer told the whole story.

We didn’t want to lose the name our community has known for nearly two decades. Keeping “PYC” and adding “Studios” felt like the right balance: familiar to our long-time students, and clear to anyone new looking for a Pilates or yoga studio.

Pilates and yoga also sit well together. Both focus on breath, strength, mobility and moving with intention, so offering them under one roof is a natural next step for us.

What stays the same

• The same teachers you know and practise with
• The power yoga classes that have been part of PYC for 19 years
• The same welcoming community, whether you’ve been with us for years or are just starting out

The new name is about adding something, not replacing anything.

What’s new: Pilates at PYC Studios

Our Pilates classes are a chance to try something different or add a new layer to your yoga practice. Pilates works on core strength, posture and control, and it pairs well with the flexibility and flow you build on the mat in yoga.

You don’t need any Pilates experience to join. Our teachers will guide you through the basics and offer options so you can work at your own level.

Thank you for 19 years

PYC has grown because of the students who’ve practised with us, many of you for years. This new chapter is for you too.

Whether you’re a long-time yogi curious about Pilates or someone new to both, we’d love to see you in the studio.

With love and gratitude
