A CENTRE FOR YOUR SPIRAL
Life spirals. We move outward, we get pulled by stress and noise and obligation, we lose the thread back to ourselves. And sometimes we spiral in ways that feel less like growth and more like unraveling. Adage Pilates Centre exists to be the place you return to yourself.
Downtown Lafayette is one of the most vibrant, creative, and culturally rich corridors in Louisiana. It is a place where history lives in the brick and the music finds you on the street. It is a community of people who work hard, love deeply, and show up fully for the city we call home.
Here we practice more than reformer Pilates. We practice the art of returning. Through somatic movement, breath, and nervous system awareness, every class at Adage is an opportunity to come back into your body, soften what has hardened, and remember who you are underneath the noise of your daily life.
But we don't want you to leave that at the door when class ends. The tools you find here, the breath patterns, the body awareness, the ability to feel when your nervous system is dysregulated and find your way back; those belong to you. They go with you into the meeting, the traffic, the difficult conversation, the quiet moments alone. That is the real work of Adage. Not just an hour on the reformer. A practice that changes how you move through your life.
You are welcome here exactly as you are. Mid-spiral and all.
Bienvenue chez vous. Welcome home.

Owner, Lead Instructor, Artist-Healer
Nicole Curtis carries the energy of the artist-healer- someone whose understanding of movement comes from both lived experience and deep creative instinct. Her background in dance brings artistry, rhythm and expression, while her personal healing journey brings care, sensitivity and a clear belief that movement should never feel punishing or performative.
Born and raised in Lafayette, Nicole has spent her life immersed in the culture, creativity and community of this city. She has performed on its stages, produced shows within it, and has been teaching movement to all ages and abilities here for over a decade. Bringing Adage to downtown Lafayette is not just a business- it is a homecoming.
A love letter to the community that shaped her.
A professional dancer, certified Pilates instructor, and Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness practitioner, Nicole's teaching is as much a reflection of where she comes from as it is of where the field of movement education is going. Deeply informed by Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies, somatic principles, nervous system regulation, and fascia science, she brings a dancer's precision, artistry, and seamless flow to every class. Holding space for the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
Her goal is simple: to make every person who walks through her door feel what she feels when she dances- free, connected, alive, and present. Like their worries, just for a moment, no longer exist.
Through experience, she believes that clarity, inner peace, and joy are cultivated through a consistent movement practice, and she is dedicated to creating the space where you can discover this for yourself.
