This year, I walked the entire Living Desert Zoo, twice. That may not sound like a big deal --…read moreunless you knew me back when I was using a cane or walker due to chronic inflammation, years of being on a medicine that caused joint and muscle deterioration, and multiple joint replacements. The version of me that lives in this strong, mobile, joyful body didn't exist a year ago. Last week, friends invited me to hike the entire Camino de Santiago. After taking a deep breath with the realization that I now could walk over 100 miles with friends, the first thing I asked was, "Well, how much Pilates would I have to miss?" Because I'm not sure I can go more than two weeks without my teacher Sean Bergara at Ecore. Sean is one of the best teachers I've ever experienced -- of anything -- and as a casting director and coach, I'm not easy to impress. His passion is palpable. He's written multiple books. He's dealt with his own injuries, so he brings empathy as well as expertise. And every class is different, which means your brain stays just as active as your body. You're never on autopilot. Sean's a master at cues. He'll tell you exactly where you should be feeling the work, so you can learn how to move more effectively and functionally throughout the world, not just sweat through a workout. He offers precise modifications (and I take full advantage -- I still need them all the time!). And because the classes are small -- just 9 reformers -- it feels personal, focused, and safe. My strength, mobility, balance, and confidence have grown exponentially since starting at Ecore in late August of 2024. This isn't just a workout. It's a return to my body -- and to myself. I am grateful for Sean, and would give Ecore ten stars if I could.

Instructors Jesse and Brian are excellent, and promote the same level of care and professionalism. Jesse brings humor and a wealth of knowledge to his program. Brian is the newest member of the team and he is a seamless fit, with an obvious love of Pilates. His classes are clearly designed for students to get the most out of every workout.

G** to my head, if I had to choose between the hospitality of every employee I've ever interacted with, or the quality of the workout, I would likely no longer be amongst the living. The place is pristine (clean) and modern, parking is abundant, booking is a breeze, and the consistency of your workouts will make them no less challenging. The fact that the owner, Richard, is A STRAIGHT UP CHIROPRACTOR, provides me with the supreme confidence that they LITERALLY "have my back." Regardless of your skill level (I'm a bit better now, but I was basically Bambi on ice the first time I walked through the door), you will not only get a solid sweat, but you will wholeheartedly be looking forward to your next one.

It's been amazing reconnecting with him. He brings that same chiropractic-level understanding of the body into every Pilates class, he's not just counting reps, he's actually watching alignment and adjusting your form in real time to protect your joints while you build strength. The studio itself is gorgeous and immaculately clean, and the whole vibe is warm rather than intimidating. Between the Reformer classes and his adjustments still being available on-site, it's a full wellness stop. If you've ever worked with Dr. Hill before, you already know, and if you haven't, you're in for a treat.

I am a former spa owner who has worked in the Wellness Industry for over 20 years and can say that…read moremy experience here, specifically with the "teacher" Leasanne, was not only astoundingly unprofessional, but downright traumatic. I was new to Hot Yoga and the Palm Springs area, so I purchased a 30 day pass with the intention of trying all the classes and finding community. The first two classes I took were amazing and did wonders for my body, which was totally locked up from a lifetime of trauma and autoimmune issues stemming from Autism and ADHD. While my disabilities are "invisible" I am used to people picking up on them and treating me differently as a result, but I never anticipated being bullied and harassed by a yoga instructor and classmates in what is supposed to be a healing and supportive environment. When I was unable to keep up with the pace of the class, which is described as "all levels welcome" Leasanne became very aggressive in singling me out with impatient corrections. Half way through the class, she came stomping over to me while I was on my back, put her beet-red sweaty face within inches of mine, sweat dripping down on me, and yelled at me for "defying" her. When I informed her that I was listening to my body and that I would continue to move at the pace my body allowed, she became even more angry and said it wasn't a Yin Yoga class and I needed to respect her authority. Last I checked, I am the authority over my own body, but either way, I've never been in a yoga class where the instructor took issue with someone doing child's pose or something similar if they needed a break, especially in a 110 degree room where over-exertion could lead to serious medical emergencies. Leasanne spent the entire 90 minute class chastising and attempting to humiliate me for my disabilities: 1. ADHD - Auditory processing and motor skill delays compromise my ability to follow verbal instruction means I need to rely on mirroring others. Isn't that why the room is full of mirrors? 2. Autism - Pathological Demand Aboidance and a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, makes it difficult for me to transition quickly, especially when someone is micro-managing me. After the class, several other out-of-towners comforted me in the locker room. They were also appalled by Leasanne's behavior and commented that they had never witnessed anything like it and would never be coming back. When I went to leave, Leasanne and about 6 regular class members were waiting for me in the lobby. Leasanne said, "I hear you struggle with Autism" to which I replied "I'm not struggling with my Autism, but you clearly are". When I refused to shake her hand or give her a hug after she just spent 90 minutes traumatizing and harassing me in front of 30 strangers, that's when the regular class attendees surrounded me and one got up in my face to tell me that I was the problem because she has Bipolar Disorder and it didn't affect her ability to be in the class or get along with people. What!?! BPD is not AuDHD and if you're doing so great with it, why are you literally attacking me for not being able to keep up with the pace of a yoga class? That's insane. Needless to say, the whole ordeal put me into an Autistic collapse, so I didn't ever go back to be in "community" with a bunch of psychopaths. The money I spent on the 30 day pass was a loss, since I didn't have the energy or emotional regulation to advocate for myself, at that time. The experience was so traumatic I haven't been able to go to ANY group yoga classes since, and it is only now, 20 months later, that I'm even able to talk about it. I'm pretty sure I should be talking to a lawyer, but you gotta start somewhere.
