The Practice of Breath

Pilates is a discipline of refined body control and conscious awareness.It integrates breathing, core strength, and rhythm to restore balance and order between stability and flow.

The Breathing Space

At BODYCONCEPT Pilates Studio in Zhangyuan, Shanghai, we explore how a space can breathe with the body. The design goes beyond function—guided by an organic sense of “Qi”, allowing air, light, and temperature to participate in each movement.

Dialogue Between Qi and Body

Breathing is the foundation of Pilates—a bridge between body and mind. We extend this concept spatially, using the flow of “Qi” to organize circulation. Here, air and body resonate softly, creating a rhythm of continuity and calm.

The Invisible System

Air quality forms the silent infrastructure of design. The fresh-air system precisely manages airflow and renewal.Filtration units ensure continuous cleanliness. Oxygenation and purification systems enhance comfort and oxygen density. Air becomes an invisible yet essential element—supporting both movement and mental clarity.

Prelude of the Wind

Within the historical texture of Zhangyuan, the entrance wind chime serves as a gentle prelude. It makes the flow of air visible and the act of breathing audible—a subtle reminder to leave behind external noise and return to oneself.

Tangible Tranquility

Amid the urban bustle of Zhangyuan, we choose not to isolate, but to let restlessness gradually quiet down. When “air” is redefined as a material of space, breathing becomes part of the design. The flowing air shapes a calm stability, where the body and space naturally find balance and freedom in rhythm.
