Who We Are

Our boutique fitness studio, located in Lyon Village, Sacramento, California, is a health and wellness escape.
Over the years we have strived to give quality and professional instruction in the practice of the Pilates method. Our studio environment is a welcoming array of top quality Balanced Body Pilates Equipment, arranged to give each participant a safe, clean, and personalized service.
Through the years, Pilates has been mainstreamed into the fitness industry through the group fitness format, however, our studio remains focused on the belief the Pilates is best taught to the individual in a small private or semi-private (2) person session, as this format ensures proper exercise selection and customized progression to learn the advanced techniques that the Pilates repertoire entails.
Pilates has earned praise in the medical and rehabilitation communities and continues to earn respect by those who have added the practice into their daily lives. In addition to full apparatus instruction, our studio also offers additional wellness treatments to our menu of services. Our Myofascial Release/Stress Therapy Massage and Airbrush Body Perfecter Treatments can compliment the look and feel of a well toned and healthy physique.
