Zalla Pilates - Ojai, California

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 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'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.

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!

I have been a hair stylist for 20 plus years and my work is very hard on every part of my body. I have tried many different things to counter act the damage it has taken on my body. Zalla Pilates has been by far the most intense and therapeutic work I have done with the best results across the board. I will never go anywhere else and I will now be able to continue on with the career of my dreams.... with the help of this amazing work from Zalla Pilates... thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!

I love this studio. I take private classes with Georgia and I never miss a class because Georgia is AMAZING! She customized my workouts and has helped me target specific body concerns and I am so happy with the results. Every class is different and so challenging and yet really fun! I’ve noticed real improvements in my overall posture, flexibility and strength. I can’t say enough good things. Give Georgia a try!!! 🙌🏻 ❤️

Zalla Pilates is getting a beyond 5 star review from me, an entire galaxy and beyond to be more accurate. I have been taking privates with Jesse for 8 months. She has helped me rehabilitate from an injury when my physical therapy through healthcare failed me. I am a medical esthetician and very passionate and compassionate in my work. What I have found at this studio is loving kindness, compassion and true knowledge of the process. Aligning and strengthening and healing can be practiced and learned here. Every one I have ever met within the studio - student, teacher, owner - all have been warm, kind and focused. This is an incredible practice that's truly helping people. When I met Jessie I found a mentor a healer and recognized a mirrored trait in her that made me a lifer. I was reminded of my own passion for my trade and the focus, love and precision with which I help my clients. This trait found in any healing practice is exceptional and once you find it hold it dear. I will be her client forever - because simply put - she's the best! As is the entire staff and studio itself. #clientforlife #beyond #allthestars
