Pilate-ology

Pilate-ology We are a boutique Pilates studio located in the heart of Sherman Oaks, CA We founded Pilate-ology in 2012 out of our passion for Pilates.

Pilate-ology [pi-lah-tee-all-o-jee]: The study and practice of Pilates in a beautiful, friendly, and fun environment, creating a stronger, leaner, and sexier you! Our studio is welcoming to those of all fitness levels, affordable, and most importantly, gives a kick-ass Pilates workout. We feel Pilates is the most effective workout for long-term physical health, as it’s low impact, builds muscle &

bone, and in many cases, can drastically improve your posture. One of the best things about Pilates is that it works well for every fitness level -- hardcore athletes, people recovering from knee or back injuries, new moms, and those just wanting to get into shape can all benefit.

Move of the Month…The Long Spine

This capstone exercise of the Feet In Straps Series challenges us to stabilize the torso throughout inversion to stretch the spine and strengthen the core. In this exercise, the lower abs and deep pelvic floor muscles fire to compress the abdomen while the upper abs and obliques work to roll the spine away from the carriage, with greater challenge here than the Short Spine as the legs remain extended. The “glutes” and hamstrings also face greater challenge in this long leg variation as they maintain hip extension. This is also why we always lower the headrest for inversions like Long or Short Spine.

Check out the extended explanation and history of The Long Spine in our September newsletter, hitting your inbox today!

How did you find Pilates and Pilate-ology?
I originally came to Pilates because I was looking for a workout that made me feel stronger without beating up my body. My fiancée Jen and I wanted something close to home, and we found Pilate-ology last year. It's become a consistent part of our routine and something we love doing together.

What has kept you coming back?
I love how Pilates continues to challenge me no matter how long I've been doing it. There's always something to work on, and I leave feeling stronger and better in my body without feeling totally depleted. The instructors and community at Pilate-ology are a huge part of it too. It just feels like a really good place to be.

What's your favorite thing about Pilate-ology?
Definitely the people. The instructors are amazing and somehow manage to make every class challenging while still being fun. I also love that it feels like a neighborhood studio and a real community. You walk in and actually know the people around you, which is pretty unique in LA.

Do you own a business or have any other ventures you'd like to shout out?
Yes! I recently founded knwn. It's a virtual health and wellness practice offering a more thoughtful, personalized approach to care. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I focus on metabolic health, peptide therapy, and helping people feel and function at their best. Learn more or book at knwnhealth.com
