Zalla Pilates 214 East Aliso Street, Ojai, CA 93023

"I have been practicing Pilates for over fifteen years, and have never experienced another studio like Zalla Pilates. Jessie and her team teach classical Pilates with a focus on body awareness, knowledge and mindfulness that has transformed not only my Pilates practice, but my approach to all forms of exercise and movement. I thought that I was in pretty good shape before studying with Jessie, but at Zalla Pilates I have learned how to identify and turn on muscles and muscle groups that have been neglected and underdeveloped. I have learned how to make subtle changes to my posture in different poses which has led to relief from chronic pain in my neck and hips. Each class is not only an incredible workout, but an opportunity to learn more about your anatomy in a very approachable manner. The studio is bright and warm. The classes are a highlight of my week!"

"I’ve had a few private sessions at this beautiful studio and can already feel the results! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and really supports changes for both body and mind. I’ve been able to take my experience from class and apply it to my every day routine. Looking forward to continuing this process and see where my body goes! Thanks Zalla Pilates for providing a safe and knowledgeable refuge!"

"I was nervous about trying Pilates until I stepped into Zalla. The instructors are great and the space is peaceful and warm compared to most gyms and studios I’ve seen. Raquel has helped me address my scoliosis and increase overall strength. I’m hooked!"

"The teachers at Zalla Pilates are well trained, professional, detail-oriented and very supportive. I've been taking both classes and privates at Zalla and the experience has been transformational for my body and for my personal awareness as I'm constantly practicing their postural advices in my everyday life. Thanks to the whole team I was even able to go back skiing after a lower back issue which was the main reason I started Pilates three years ago."

"I've been going to this studio for many years and can't imagine a better, more profound or effective Pilates experience :) The teachers are very highly trained and knowledgeable. All the classes are structured very intelligently to maximize effect while protecting your body. The atmosphere is warm and supportive. I never heard any words spoken here that could even be construed as criticism."
