What if your Pilates class ended with you hanging upside down? Not as a stunt, but as the moment your body finally lets go? At Nofar Method, Miami’s newest elevated Pilates experience, inversion isn’t a party trick. It’s the signature movement.
Founded by Pilates expert Nofar Hagag, the method centers around her custom red straps, designed in New York to attach to the Cadillac machine. The straps allow clients to invert safely, decompressing the spine, opening the hips, and easing tension throughout the body. The experience is athletic, calming, and surprisingly approachable, even for beginners. Don’t worry about falling, they can hold upwards of 400 lbs.
Nofar’s approach blends deep anatomical understanding with creative, functional movement. Her 50-minute class divides time between the Reformer and the Cadillac, an uncommon pairing that creates a full-body, controlled workout focused on strength, posture, and mobility. The results are what keep her studios full from New York to Miami, along with a devoted following that includes Karlie Kloss, Emily Ratajkowski, and Brooke Shields.

A Studio Built Around Wellness
The studios are designed to feel like wellness spaces rather than gyms. Walls are lined with Himalayan Pink Salt stones to support breathing and overall wellbeing. In New York, the Flatiron location includes infrared saunas for post-workout recovery. Each location reflects Nofar’s belief in movement as a form of therapy, not punishment.
Her method emphasizes stabilizer muscles, breathwork, and spinal health, aiming to leave clients feeling longer and lighter. Inversion is part of that. It helps circulation, reduces pressure on the lower back, and encourages a calm, grounded nervous system. Most clients describe it as the moment they didn’t know they needed.
The Story Behind the Method
Before opening her own studios, Nofar taught Pilates in New York for ten years while attending medical school. She is also a former NCAA Division I water polo player, which influences her strong, athletic teaching style. When the pandemic hit, she shifted her classes to Zoom and quickly built a global following. That momentum led to the opening of her Flatiron studio in 2021, followed by Tribeca and now Miami Beach. She has trained more than 50,000 clients.
Despite the growth, Nofar maintains an accessible, grounded philosophy. She advocates for body trust, consistency, and rejecting the pressures of diet culture. Her own wellness routine revolves around simple, sustainable habits like anti-inflammatory eating, beach walks, and gratitude rituals.
Why Miami Is Paying Attention
Miami’s wellness scene moves fast, but Nofar Method has carved out a distinct space. The classes are challenging without being chaotic, rooted in anatomy rather than trends. Clients get the structure of classical Pilates with the creativity and athleticism of modern movement. And the Cadillac work, usually reserved for private sessions, sets the experience apart.
Most importantly, the method offers a reset. Whether it's the core work, the breathwork, or hanging upside down for the first time, clients walk out feeling more open, aligned, and energized.
As Nofar continues to expand, her focus remains the same: movement that strengthens the body, supports the mind, and leaves people feeling better than when they walked in. And if the early momentum is any indication, Nofar Method isn’t just joining Miami’s wellness scene - it’s raising the bar for what a Pilates studio can be.
