History
Established in 2008.
A graduate of The Pilates Center in Boulder Colorado, a member of The Pilates Method Alliance, and a graduate of GYROTONIC®, Dani Beauchamp previously operated a small, but highly successful studio, in Topanga, California. As one of Dani's students, Karen Watkins had fallen in love with Pilates. Under Dani's tutelage, Karen was able to overcome the pain of osteoarthritis, ended her reliance on arthritis medication and rediscovered the joy of exercise. Wanting to provide an opportunity for more people to discover these amazing forms of exercise, Dani and Karen teamed up to open a much larger studio in Agoura Hills, CA. Their state-of-the-art facility houses all the equipment necessary to perform the complete repertoire of the classical Pilates Method, as well as two GYROTONIC towers. Dani and Karen are committed to offering the highest level of instruction; every one of their instructors has been carefully chosen. They are all comprehensively trained and qualified to teach all levels.
