As a beginner I asked if they offer beginner classes and was told by instructor that there is no such thing as beginner Pilates. Needless to say it wasn't the right fit for me. I felt like a complete idiot and failure being unable to do most of the routine. After reading the reply from ritual reform, there are a couple of things I wanted to clarify. I am indeed in the system and use my middle name on my Yelp. Also, the beginner class is an introductory class to show you how to use the equipment moving forward. There are no classes modified for a beginner or novice Pilates student on the regular schedule . thank you.

I apparently started this review in 2013. Guess its never too late to post it! …read more.. Leave your ego at the door folks because you won't need it. This is a place where everyone fits in and ALL will feel welcomed while getting in a good sweat. If you think this is your typical gym, you are wrong. And if you think this is the typical clicky cross fit; wrong again. This place offers multiple unique classes for all fitness levels and provides a welcoming space to improve your fitness. The owner Darik is very open to feedback and wants this place to be a fitness "home" for each customer. The staff is committed to helping you achieve your goals, whether that be ordering your favorite protein powder, a new pair of spin shoes or encouraging you to take that class you have been dreading. There are showers too! You can squeeze in that lunch time workout and head back to work fresh and clean. There are several expansions going on, so you can only expect this place to become a more diverse center to meet your fitness needs. Just go and try it out---first class is free!

What I love is that you can try it out for free and then sign up for a long term basis and reap the benefits financially and physically. You will really enjoy this studio. Their offering of classes is really good considering how quaint the studio is and how small Orcutt is. It's not big so show up early and bring some extra cash if you go on a Friday and enjoy the food trucks that park directly on the other side of the street!

She really holds the space for everyone and empowers people to succeed no matter what their level of experience. She has such intuition about where people might need a nudge, or some assistance with a pose. I have been to several Yoga teachers and have experienced many teachers. Katie exudes the most love and genuine spirit that I have ever encountered while participating in a Yoga practice. I am so grateful for her teaching, her heart and her guidance. (I haven't even taken classes from the other teachers yet but I had to post this after my first class with Katie.) Thank you Katie and Yoga Shine.

Change Your Life While Having Fun…read more.. My wife and I are seniors in our 70s, but remain active. I've gone to the gym 3 days a week for many years while she's taught Jazzercise and gone to Zumba classes for a long, long time. But something was missing. Pilates at Tabula Rasa is a kick in the pants. Pilates is meant to strengthen your core muscles. Between introductory sessions and a package of 10 classes for $275...all with the owner, Vanessa (although there are other trainers)... we've worked on things we didn't know existed. - Overall: 5 - Owner: 5+ - Getting Started: 5 - Range of Classes: 5 - Online Management: 5 - Yurt: 5 - Class Size: 5 - Personal Attention: 5+ - Cost: 4 - Location: 5 - Facilities: 5 - Parking in Dry Weather: 5 - Parking in Wet Weather: ? Pros: - The owner, Vanessa Dominguez, is amazing. Her knowledge, ability to explain and pay attention to each person even in a class of 2-6 people is uncanny. Her energy is breathtaking - literally. If we were back in the 1970s or 80s, Vanessa would be on TV with best selling videos. - Sample the equipment in her studio, ask whatever comes to mind and get a feel for what it's all about at no charge nor obligation. - There's a big range of classes at most hours of the day with several highly skilled and motivating instructors. - Managing your pilates schedule is simple, online and flexible. - All classes are behind Vanessa's house in a "yurt"...a big teepee shaped building with lots of equipment. It's actually quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a big fan dropping down from the center. - Classes are limited to 6 people, although most we've seen had 2-4. Lots of personal care if you need it and each session is tailored to the attendees. - Cost is not "cheap", but reasonable - Location is convenient for residents of Nipomo - it's within a mile of Trilogy and Black Lake - and not bad for those in Arroyo Grande. - If you're hungry, thirsty or need a bathroom, she's got feee snacks, water and facilities. - There's a big parking lot in front of Vanessa's house for cars and trucks. Con: - Yes, there's one con. The parking lot is not paved so when the rainy season arrives there will probably be lots of mud. Our weekly pilates session changed our lives. Now all we've got to do is find a good place to park when things are wet.
