Great classes that you can do at your level of comfort. They'll help you. I have a very arthritic wrist, 2 knee replacements & pins/plates in my right arm. We find a way to work around those things. My balance gets better all the time, I'm stronger, can do things now I wouldn't attempt when I started. I take just 2 classes a week generally. I've dropped 2 sizes and at 68 my body is in the best shape it's been in in 30 years. Thank you Mary & Sami and the other instructors!

I have never liked a work out. Seriously never. But this studio - these people. They have created a…read morewelcoming environment that is fun, inspiring, and kicks your butt into gear! I've never done Pilates, but they got me comfortable with the routines, machines, and challenged me all at the same time. Barre - so goooood! Out of my comfort zone, toning muscles I never knew I had. And they don't let you slack! TRX - making me work that upper body and get stronger each class. I love this place and have finally found a somewhere that makes me WANT to workout. Plus - they do fun events like bubbles and barre - who wouldn't want some champagne after a workout ;-)

Marissa and Troy are very knowledgeable about proper form and movements and overall just really nice people. The smaller class sizes and hands on correction were super helpful to me as a beginner at lagree. They offer lots of class times throughout the day so it is easy to fit a workout into your schedule. I highly recommend this studio if you want to build and tone muscle without injuries!

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.

The instructors are not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also deeply caring. They have a way of meeting you where you are, while gently pushing you to grow in ways you didn't know you could. Over time, this studio has become so much more than just a place to practice yoga for me--it's become a safe space, a community, and a constant source of grounding and inspiration. The classes are always thoughtfully guided, and no matter what kind of day I'm having, I leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more centered. Vida Yoga isn't just a studio; it's been a big part of my personal journey. I'm endlessly grateful for the peace, strength, and joy it continues to bring into my life. Vida Yoga has brought me balance, strength, and joy in ways I didn't expect. It's not just yoga--it's healing, it's grounding, and it's exactly what I needed.

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!

I use Pilates as a sort of physical therapy as I am recovering from a back injury from heavy weight lifting. I feel strengthened, stretched and realigned after Misha's Pilates classes.

Since returning from uni, I decided to look for some studios in my local area (SY Valley) and found Awaken! When I was checking out their Instagram, I really dug the vibes and message shared by the owner. I happened to notice that an Intro to Kickboxing class was being hosted in the coming week and decided to attend! Located next to an old theater, there's lots of parking for the studio. I had seen that the studio was a no shoes policy so I entered, then took off my shoes before walking onto the mat. I got to meet the owner Bridget and she gave a spiel about Awaken and its mission! During the class we were taught some basic kicks and punches that would come up during a regular class at Awaken. She also took time to explain the various types of classes that were offered at the studio. It was a very cool and fun environment that definitely encouraged me to come back. Ever since this class, I purchased a class pack and have been coming back every week! I would become a member but am currently in the midst of transitioning out of university and don't quite have the funds to support a membership at the moment. Nonetheless, I've enjoyed all of my classes I've taken and miss it when I don't go back for a bit. Anyone thinking about checking Awaken out -- go for it! You won't regret it. I highly recommend them!
