Monarch Pilates

While the cues are plenty and the movements subtle, the impact on healthy shoulders is profound. Healthy shoulder movement integrates into the abs, upper back AND feet! Take this control into a push-up and goodbye neck and shoulder strain, hello strong arms! #monarchpilates #strengthenwithconfidence #santacruzpilates #pilatesforsurfers #healthyshouldersarehappyshoulders

We are grateful to have this fun, passionate, inspiring, nurturing & intelligent woman as a friend and colleague. Happy Birthday Laura! We love you!

We've officially made it to the yellow tier and that means Springboard classes are back! Sign up for class this week Wednesdays 5:30 p.m. or Fridays at 12:00.

It was a bittersweet day teaching Virtual sessions at the Soquel Ave studio today. I rarely get to spend time there these days. Being there made me long for the moments of clients laughing, chatting and finding their inner shake! I walked out and there it was.. the faintest of rainbows, but it’s there, giving hope that we will all return someday soon!
