 Welcome to South Riding Pilates
Step into a space where movement meets intention, and wellness is not just a goal — it's a lifestyle. South Riding Pilates is a fully equipped, in-home studio designed to support your body, your pace, and your journey.

Founded by Erika Surma — nationally certified Pilates instructor and former professional dancer — the studio offers personalized, classical and contemporary Pilates training on top-of-the-line equipment, including Peak and STOTT reformers, stability chairs, and a full range of supportive props.

With over a decade of experience working in studios and gyms, Erika now brings her passion for movement home — and invites you to do the same. Her training includes recent in-studio hours at the renowned Pilates Studio Barcelona, where she deepened her knowledge of the classical Pilates method from beginner to advanced systems.

Whether you're an athlete, managing back pain, or simply looking to feel stronger and more at ease in your body, Erika believes Pilates is a powerful, sustainable path to health and longevity. Each session is tailored, challenging, and deeply restorative — because your movement practice should meet you exactly where you are.
