Pilates in Ventura

“Owner and principal instructor Susan Wileman has a deep knowledge of not only Pilates but the Restorative Exercise/Nutritious Movement specialty area as well (founded by author Katy Bowman). Susan communicates all her topics well, although I had to make a concerted effort in the early weeks to really sustain attention to what she was saying, not drift into a distracted state of mind. In general the small classes (3 - 6 participants) work well for me but occasionally I opt for a private session, especially to re-orient to Pilates after I've been away from it for a medical reason or a prolonged out of town trip. I did not think I would stick with Pilates long when I first started, but it grew on me. Now I feel privileged to be able to attend sessions, making progress at my own pace. I only landed at Restore Pilates because of a personal recommendation by a bodywork specialist I'd known for years; apparently she trained with Susan in the Restorative Exercise realm so she recommends Re-Store Pilates as a studio that honors and teaches alignment fundamentals in ways not common in a chain-owned/operated venues. I am grateful Susan was resourceful in sustaining her business despite prolonged Covid-era restrictions for service-sector businesses. Her long-time clientele rebounded with amazing commitment to continue with Pilates and numerous new clients are drawn to Re-Store Pilates year round.“

“Ayn and Inner Soulstice Wellness have truly been a blessing to me and my family. We have been working with her for years and she’s always there to help fix me..but more importantly she has done wonders for my parents, both physically, mentally and spiritually. Thank you Ayn and Inner Soulstice Wellness for all that you do.“

“The owner of the studio, Gail and all of the instructors are very kind, supportive and well trained to strengthen your body and not hurt it even when you are having difficulty with certain parts of your body! I am completely confident in what they are asking me to do!“

“Marcus and Eva are great instructors with so much knowledge about the body and proper alignment really appreciate how they both take their time to make sure each student is doing each move safely and effectively. I recently found out that they do a *gong bath* at the end of the last few classes on Fridays and Sundays and wow! I've never felt more satisfied after a Pilates class. Gong baths are like an internal massage where they clear out any negative energy left in the body and I loved every minute of it, especially after a strenuous workout!“
