ABOUT US
A Classical Pilates studio based in Manchester, NH
Founded by owner Madeleine Clark, Happy Place Pilates was created around our mission to help everyone find their happy place, a welcoming studio designed for every body. We believe Pilates is about more than movement; it’s about helping you reconnect with your body, build strength, and find balance both physically and mentally.

OUR PILATES CLASSES
Happy Place Pilates began with a journey of healing. After a hip fracture, our founder, Madeleine Clark, discovered the power of Pilates to rebuild strength, confidence, and joy.
Today, our studio in Manchester, NH is a welcoming space where classical Pilates meets personalized guidance. Every class is designed to help you move with intention, reconnect with your body, and find your happy place — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
That class and all other classes have been exhilarating & Overall educational. Which, in my opinion is important! Instructor and owner is exceedingly knowledgeable! Reformer pilates has helped me bridge mind and body where I have a tendency to disconnect!
— Nichole
This studio truly lives up to its name. The space is gorgeous and spotless and has such a calm, welcoming energy. It's also easy to find, which is always a plus when you’re not local. Madeline, who owns the studio and teaches the classes, is incredible. She’s deeply knowledgeable in classical Pilates and teaches with clarity, care, and attention to detail. Even though I could only take a few classes, I walked away with a much deeper understanding of my body and the practice. She knows how to meet you where you are—whether you’re brand new or more advanced—and makes you feel confident and capable from the start.
— Catherine
Madeline was perfect! Excellent mixture of challenging plus options to make it better for your body or harder if you’re craving more. Great pace, great cues, highly recommend and will be back again and again. Kind feedback and adjusting form when needed.

-
Wear comfortable athletic attire that allows for easy movement. Get ready to kick off your shoes, as we practice in socks or bare feet. We will provide everything else, including complimentary mats, towels, and water.
-
Our studio is small and cozy, so waitlists are a regular part of life - especially for our more popular class times. That said, they do move! If you add yourself early, there’s a good chance you’ll get in.
Here’s how it works:
If a spot opens up, you’ll be notified by text and email. If you don’t reply, we’ll assume you’re coming
You’ll receive a notification at least one hour before class if a spot becomes available
If your plans change, please remove yourself from the waitlist so the next person has a chance to join
If you're added to class from the waitlist and don’t show up, it will count as a late cancellation
Waitlist spots follow our standard 12-hour cancellation policy
Thanks for helping us keep things running smoothly!
-
We understand that life can be unpredictable. However, because of our small class sizes, we have a 12-hour cancellation policy for all Circuit classes, and a 24-hour policy for Private Sessions, Duets, and Semi-Privates.
If you cancel with less notice or don’t show up it will result in the loss of that session from your account and a $20 charge.
We appreciate your understanding and kindly ask that you do not request exceptions, so we can keep things fair for everyone.
-
Kind of — and that’s by design!
We keep things intimate and personalized, so you get the attention and support you deserve.
Duets (2:1): Partner sessions where you can move with a friend (or be paired with someone at a similar level). You’ll work on the Reformer, Cadillac, EXO Chair, and Ladder Barrel — getting personalized feedback and variety in every session.
Circuit Classes (4:1): Small-group sessions that rotate through all the classical apparatus for a full-body workout. These classes offer the energy of a group while still keeping plenty of focus on your form and individual needs.
If you’re looking for group support with a personal touch, our Circuit Classes are the perfect fit.
