What People Are Saying …
“Starting Pilates with Tanya was the smartest thing I’ve done in a long time. Pilates has helped me improve my balance, posture, walking, and also my focus and concentration — finding the connection between my body and mind.”
— Hilda, Santa Monica Local
“I can’t say enough about Tanya’s excellent teaching. She is observant, knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun! Every session is a little different with some new challenge, but never more than I can successfully accomplish.”—
Hilda~80 yrs
“Pilates helped me be free from injury. No more aches and pains from lifting, twisting, pulling, and hauling doing household tasks and even bigger challenges and adventures.”

“I had a fairly debilitating motor stroke in 2020. It’s been a long haul to regain my gross and fine motor skills. Tanya’s coaching and Pilates instruction have been a very significant part of my recovery. The core exercises she has taught, encouraged, and enforced has altered an otherwise grim trajectory. Thank you so much Tanya for your patience, professionalism, and dedication!

“I enjoy working with Tanya because she’s fun, challenging, and inspiring! Two years ago, I limped into her cozy outdoor studio with an old injury and a bunch of bad habits in how I moved my body. With diligence, patience, and the Pilates Method’s intellligence, my body is in alignment again. I have built strength and located my core muscles. It has been a blessing to work with Tanya. Her knowledge and instruction were exactly what I needed to activate freedom in my breath and movement once again.

I started Pilates because of my chronic back and shoulder pain, however, Pilates has done more than address the back issues. Tanya is an intuitive teacher who gently brings awareness to all kinds of body parts that I was not paying attention to. Right now she is helping me discover the right way to stand and walk, after all these years. She is one gifted Pilates teacher! I am very thankful for the work she has done with me.

For the past year I have done Pilates privately, with Tanya, on Zoom. Her specific guidance has taken me from “avoiding the workout” to “enjoying the workout”. I’m strong where I’ve never been strong before. Her personal; attention has made all the difference, keeping me motivated and moving forward. I couldn’t recommend her private Pilates session more!

Tanya is such a caring, compassionate and patient trainer. I was relatively new to Pilates and trying to reengage with light exercise and stretching due to newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory arthritis). She met me where I was in terms of ability and my chronic pain. She helped me gain more core strength and taught me stretches that I could easily practice at home. She also reinforced the mind-body-soul connection which was helpful in my recovery journey. Also I love her support and kindness :) I highly recommend her in your exercise journey!
