Our studio in Poway, CA, (San Diego County) is a welcoming space where people of all levels can experience Pilates the way Joseph Pilates intended. We teach classical Pilates on Joe’s original apparatus, guiding each client with personalized attention to help them build strength, balance, and confidence. Rooted in tradition and fueled by community, our studio is dedicated to supporting long-term health and purposeful movement. We offer group apparatus classes, private sessions, as well as duet sessions. Additionally, we offer a teacher training program for both new teachers as well as those looking to expand their post-grad education.
