As a former certified massage therapist (certified through the Institute of Phsyco-Structual Balance in Santa Monica), I became interested in Pilates for its rehabilitative and strengthening qualities. I was exposed to the benefits of Pilates working in a physical therapy office, where I noticed the safe benefits and rapid improvements on post-surgical patients

All of our instructors are experienced certified instructors who care about your safety and are trained to help prevent injury
