Since I started Pilates with Jennie about two months ago, I have noticed that my back is stronger and I am able to engage my core in most exercises. I find that I am more mindful of my posture.
I am always energized after sessions. I found Pilates not easy, but it's super rewarding and awesome for long term physical health.
People have told me I look taller and that my posture looks better! That's a huge win for me! Dayna

Geri Silvas - our Newest Private Pilates instructor
Geri Silvas is a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor whose teaching combines the traditional Pilates method with thoughtful contemporary influences.
In Geri’s words, “I got into Pilates because of injuries as a flight attendant and from skating with the Angel City Derby Girls; roller derby. Also, I wanted to meet the demands of restoring a 1921 bungalow and raising two kids.”
After beginning her Pilates education with Peak Pilates, she completed more than 800 hours of comprehensive classical training at the Pilates Institute of Southern California.
Geri has continued her education through specialized training in scoliosis, healthy aging, pregnancy, lower-back pain, trauma-informed care and the relationship of the rib cage and thoracic spine to the shoulders and neck.
Her teaching emphasizes proper movement foundations, careful progression and individualized instruction. She works with a wide range of bodies - from athletic clients seeking a challenge to those navigating injuries, physical limitations, scoliosis, or age-related changes.
Her goal is to help every client build strength, improve movement patterns and feel more confident and capable in daily life.

Nicole began her journey with Pilates two years ago.
“I started private Pilates because, as a professional musician, I spend a lot of time sitting.”
Nicole Garcia is a Los Angeles based professional studio, concert and worldwide touring violinist for over 30 years. Her most recent musical performances include Smokey Robinson at The Hollywood Bowl, Yoshiki LIVE at The Walt Disney Concert Hall and Jennifer Hudson for FIFA World Cup 2026.
Nicole has also been an accomplished hula dancer for 15 years. She has been invited to compete solo at next year’s renowned “E Hula Mau” Labor Day weekend 2027 at Irvine Valley College’s Theater of Performing Arts.
“I have noticed massive changes in my mobility and strength since beginning private Pilates. I'm able to sit for longer periods of time without losing my posture. My muscles feel more elongated and I am breathing way more than before.
My favorite part of training is gaining mobility and lengthening my muscles. But I really enjoy the whole process. Being able to achieve the amazing Pilates poses and flows so much better is a massive win. I am feeling so much stronger with so much more flexibility. It definitely took less time than I expected to reach my goals with private Pilates.
Doing Pilates combats the effects of sitting by helping me develop a stronger core and improving flexibility so I can maintain proper posture with better endurance through those long recording sessions, performances and heavy travel schedules.”

A New Tip to Help Your Posture!
Quite a few of our clients come to us to handle lower back, neck and shoulder pain. Almost one for one, they have sitting jobs. So, they sit ALOT. A simple way to fix this is by adjusting the position of your pelvis.
First, notice how if you are sitting right on top of the “sitz bones” which are the two bones of your butt. If you notice that you lean forward past these bones, your lower back arches creating pressure and eventually strain. You correct this by bringing your pelvis back right underneath your torso. You then find yourself sitting up nice and straight and your stomach engages to support your back. This will correct the overarch in your low back.
Some people sit forward when they get excited or focused into the computer or a book, etc. or when they are trying to sit up really tall. You actually want to pull your stomach in gently and sit back right on the sitz bones.
If that doesn’t take the pressure off the lower back, then you can gently tuck the pelvis under (curling the tailbone slightly under) to support the lower back a bit more. This takes pressure off the neck and shoulders.
Happy sitting! Zonnie

As your body grows older, the back muscles can tighten up creating stiffness, discomfort, and eventually pain. This can happen while sitting, while standing or moving through daily life. There are several reasons for this, but the key is not enough motion . You need to move your body to not lose
