The Pearl has been a godsend to City Island and me personally. I never did yoga or Pilates before, but now I visit regularly for both. I can feel it everyday when I walk down the avenue: improved posture, core strength, and calm. I particularly recommend slow flow with Joanne, sunset yoga on the waterfront with Amy, and reformer with Luna!

This studio helps me channel my inner Mermaid. I'm a Founding Member and am so happy to have The Pearl in my life, Wendy the owner is adorable, and all of the instructors are wonderful. I love to shimmy in my belly dance class. The Yoga and Pilates classes helped me overcome a knee injury. Keep up the great work. You're a gem in City Island and to the Bronx.

As a septuagenarian, there is always a joint or two that want to claim the name Arthur. And a pound or two, well let’s be honest a FEW pounds that want to make a home in that body of yours.
Since I’ve been coming to the Pearl, Arthur has taken a back burner on my joints thanks to Amy. Sculpting has taken inches off my waste line. Joanne and Slow flow has helped me with mindfulness.
Needless to say, Yoga has enhanced my overall wellness.
I am grateful.

I can’t say enough good things about this studio! It’s a beautifully run, female-led space that radiates strength, support, and community. Every instructor is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress. The reformer classes are thoughtfully designed to challenge you while honoring your body, and I’ve felt stronger and more aligned after every session.

It’s more than just a workout — it’s a place where you feel seen, empowered and is inclusive. Whether you’re new to Pilates or looking to deepen your practice, this studio is a total gem. So grateful to have found it!

This was a beautiful experience. Joann led a restorative candlelit yoga session which left me feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and renewed. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to restore themselves- mind, body, and soul.

I really wanted to love The Pearl. The studio itself is absolutely beautiful, the energy is calming, and the staff are warm and welcoming. It’s also super close to home, which makes it incredibly convenient.

That said, after trying three different classes (Pilates MATLAB, Vinyasa Yoga Sculpt, and most recently the Pilates Reformer), I haven’t found any of them to be particularly challenging. In today’s Reformer class, for example, we did maybe two or three exercises that felt slightly challenging, but we didn’t do enough reps of them to really feel the work. It felt like we were trying to fit too many exercises into a short 45-minute window instead of focusing on doing fewer movements with more depth and intensity.

As someone who typically sweats a lot and enjoys pushing myself, I didn’t break a sweat and didn’t really feel like I got a true workout. It felt more like a stretch and mobility class, which definitely has its place, but I came in looking for something more challenging. This is coming from someone who does Pilates at other studios where there’s usually more weight work and muscle engagement.

I even asked if there were any classes that offered more strength or intensity and was told there’s a mat Pilates class with added weight work that rotates every three weeks. I might give that one a shot, but I’ll admit I’m feeling a bit disappointed. I love the space, the community, and the vibe, but I’m still looking for that workout that leaves me feeling like I actually trained.

I just celebrated my birthday at The Pearl Pilates & Yoga in City Island, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The space is peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully set up—perfect for a wellness-inspired celebration that felt both grounding and joyful.
We kicked things off with a Pilates Reformer class that was amazing! Chandel was so knowledgeable and encouraging, and even guests who were new to Pilates felt comfortable and empowered. After that, we flowed into a gentle yoga session with Amy that left us all feeling centered and recharged.

The entire vibe was exactly what I wanted for my birthday—mindful, meaningful, and full of good energy. The staff went above and beyond to make everything seamless and special. If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate or just want to experience movement and mindfulness in a beautiful setting, I can’t recommend The Pearl enough!

I cannot wait to go back!
Thank you Wendy & team 🤍🤍🤍

I recently visited The Pearl on City Island for the first time and was blown away by how beautiful the studio is—it’s such a peaceful, inspiring space. I was a little nervous going in, but Wendy was so warm and welcoming that I immediately felt at ease. Her energy is exactly what you want in a teacher…encouraging, grounded, and kind. I genuinely can’t wait to go back. This place is a gem!

This was my first time trying Pilates and I was totally surprised! At first I was nervous but Wendy was very welcoming. I loved that she gave the history of Pilates, who the creator was, and explained each component of the Reformer. She gave very detailed instructions and corrections when needed. The studio has a clean and refreshing atmosphere. It is also accessible by car, with ample street parking or by bus. Honestly, I am so glad I was able to have this experience, I cannot wait until my next class!

Such an amazing experience using the reformer for the first time. Mairi is such a great teacher! Highly recommend! She clearly explained what each posture was, how to get into and out of them as well as how to engage my body. So helpful as a first timer. I get why everyone is hooked!

The Pearl city island studio is an amazing asset to the Bronx and I recommend it to anyone looking for a community to practice yoga or Pilates. I’m very athletic and practice yoga every day but have never done Pilates reformers. The beginning class was welcoming and inviting with the owner explaining the history and how to engage with the machines. The studio is clean and bright and filled with sea mementos. I really appreciate the environment, other classmates and exercise. I will for sure be back again!!

The Pearl lives up to its name. I’ve been attending mat and reformer Pilates classes since it opened and the experience has been wonderful. As a relative newcomer to Pilates I immediately felt welcomed. The instructors are awesome and really work to make everyone feel comfortable. This is a great studio to visit if you’re a beginner who’s intimidated by the reformer (like I was)! The small class sizes allow for more personalized attention from the instructors. As a bonus, the space is beautifully designed. I’m thrilled that the Bronx has The Pearl and recommend it to anyone who wants to incorporate more movement in their life.

The Pearl is the perfect addition to City Island Avenue that we didn't know we needed. I have taken a variety of classes - community yoga flow with Amy, restorative yoga with Dee, ballet barre with Annika, reformer pilates with Ana Maria and yoga flow with Joann. Every single instructor has been wonderful, with clear instructions and offering modifications for any and all who need.

While I have taken yoga many times before, I was very new to ballet barre and the reformer and both Annika and Ana Maria explained things in a way where anyone could feel comfortable jumping right in. I would easily recommend all of the classes I have already taken to a friend (and already have).

The fact that the mats and accessories are already laid out for you is such a huge plus. As a busy mom of 4, this has truly simplified working out for me.
The space is bright and welcoming. The decor is fantastic. It has a beautiful and necessary nautical charm.

Going to the Pearl has become my favorite part of the week. I can't wait to see what's on the horizon for this new business. I look forward to trying the kids classes with my children as their spring activities wrap up.

Thank you for bringing the Pearl to City Island.

The Pearl is such a welcoming space that is beautifully designed and decorated; it seems as though each part of the space has been thought of and enhanced with coastal charm. I had a wonderful Power Yoga class with Amy. Although I have done some Yoga classes in the past, I would still say that I am a beginner. Amy gave clear and conscience instructions, and provided modifications where appropriate. Amy definitely challenged me, but at the same time I felt like she was rooting me on to do my best! The Reformer class with Adriene was challenging, but not intimidating and felt like I got a great full body workout. Joann provided an awesome and evenly paced Yoga Flow class (which what else could you ask for on a Sunday morning?) I will definitely be a frequent flyer at The Pearl and experience all that each class and instructor has to offer each week!
