About Our Studio

Our studio is fully equipped with Reformers, Trapeze Tables, Chairs, Ladder Barrel, Spine Correctors, and many small props that challenge stability and balance. A session at our studio is like a spa treatment! We pamper you with relaxation and "decompression", while you strengthen and align. You leave invigorated and lengthened, and with each session you get stronger, leaner and relieved of minor pains and often times, major ones!

Our teachers are Certified Pilates Teachers, trained and certified in the Advances in Pilates Technique through Long Beach Dance Conditioning, under the direction of Marie-Jose Blom. We approach the Pilates Method as a movement science with a biomechanical knowledge and a focus on the body as a whole being. We specialize in exercises for scoliosis, and post-injury rehabilitation. We continue increasing our knowledge through professional mixers and advanced workshops with the industry's top professionals.

Rene began taking Pilates in 2000 as a birthday present to herself. While living in Orange County, she did her Teacher Training in 2004. She is certified in the KinesioTaping Method Level 1 & 2, and is a member of IADMS (International Association of Dance Medicine and Science) and the PMA (Pilates Method Alliance). Rene specializes in working with clients post physical therapy and with clients who have back pain and scoliosis. She loves knowing she can help people to be pain-free and to get a good night's sleep!

Martine Morales, Assistant Director

Martine began Pilates at St Francis Hospitals's Dance Medicine Center at the age of 12 after being diagnosed with scoliosis. One of her first teachers there was Elizabeth Larkam. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from Chapman University and continues to teach and choreograph in all forms of dance, with Lyrical and Tap being her favorites. She continues to study Sports Conditioning and Injury Prevention for athletes, hoping to lengthen and strengthen the careers of dancers and athletes of all kinds. She is a member of the PMA.
