My husband and I had never done Pilates before and found Beverly on Yelp (where her five-star…read morereviews are absolutely deserved). We started going in September twice a week, and five months later we're still showing up--and the results have honestly surprised us. I'm noticeably stronger in my core and lower back, and both of our postures have improved. As someone focused on building strength and improving overall fitness, Pilates has been a powerful complement to my other workouts. It's strengthened muscles I didn't even realize I was neglecting and has helped me feel more balanced and supported in everything I do. Beverly is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She seems to know exactly what our bodies need each session and thoughtfully blends classical Pilates with reformer, mat work, the Cadillac, and other equipment. Every class feels intentional and tailored. Pilates is hard--but in the best way. For the entire hour, Beverly cheers us on while also carefully correcting our form so we get the maximum benefit. She emphasizes precision and alignment, which makes such a difference. You leave feeling worked, lengthened, and stronger. We go in the mornings, and it has become our favorite way to start the day. Beverly's warm, happy energy turns the session into more than just a workout--it's a full mind-body reset. Her studio, located off Mission Street in a beautifully converted former church, is calm, light-filled, and welcoming. The vibe and lighting truly matter to me, and she has created something really special. And a huge bonus in Santa Barbara -- there's plenty of parking in her private lot, which makes getting to class completely stress-free. We truly can't recommend Beverly enough.

I come from a…read moreweightlifting/boxing background and tend to be more analytical about my movements during training. I found Beverly at her studio, Classical Pilates Studio on Mission St., and her instruction was outstanding. Her sessions made me feel noticeably more sturdy, balanced, and structurally sound. It wasn't just a workout, it felt like building real alignment, control, and stability that carries over into everything else I do. Beverly is precise, attentive, and clearly deeply knowledgeable; you can tell she's teaching true classical Pilates. And the facility and equipment is very clean and tidy. Highly recommend for anyone who is a beginner, trains seriously, and wants something that improves performance, durability, and longevity without unnecessary wear and tear.

Power of your Om! Thank you for making me and my stiff one dimensional workout body fall in love…read morewith Yoga , your lovely team and the powerful Power of Your OM yoga studio in Santa Barbara. Dear Adrienne, you are one of the nicest, coolest, most accommodating,solid ( and very flexible- yoga humor ok my attempt at) business owners I have met. You have this beautiful natural way of connecting with all and making this bum who resisted yoga his whole life a raving fan. You welcomed us both so warmly. It is not a surprise that 37 diehard fans showed up for your 6 am class on Wednesday October 8th. You found a way to make us all fit( photo) and ensured every one got a great workout. You remembered both our names a few minutes after meeting us and addressed us in the class. I loved your heart,your honesty and your spunk about how you and your husband moved to Santa Barbara 14 years ago. I loved the real, human and personal communication from the stellar Lindsey, the excellent Emily and the very nice David who really took the time to come by and relate to me as he suggested slight and actually very helpful shifts in my Warrior and Bhujangasan poses( yup my vocabulary increased beautifully). No one treated me like a newbie- they all wanted me to learn the fundamentals the right way. Loved it! LOVED IT!!!! The vibe in the studio be it at 8:15 pm or 6:00 am the next day was LOVE. Power to the Om and yes huge props and 5 stars for " Power of Your Om." Any one and everyone in Santa Barbara, you have got to go to this absolutely tremendous Yoga studio. Can't wait to be back.

I have been going to Corepower for several years now because I am in Goleta and there are not many…read moreoptions near my home. I took a surge class at Power of Your Om and overall it was a very good class. Flow was about low to mid level, a little bit slower and more fluid than most C2 classes at Corepower. The main difference between Power of Your Om and Corepower is the heat. Corepower is hotter because of the increase in humidity and temperature while Power of Your Om uses dry heat. The space is on the small side and there is no dressing room or shower, but it makes up by being less pricey than Corepower.

Now, I have always worked out, and stayed in good shape. I naturally have a very boyish figure (straight up and down, no curves). After doing Pilates at Simpatico and really learning how to use the correct muscles, I have to say that for the first time ever I HAVE A WAIST!!! No other type of exercise program has gotten me the results I've achieved at Simpatico. Thank you Mindy! Simpatico is a wonderfully clean, calm, nurturing studio. The staff and other instructors ROCK! The Will Power & Grace classes are also amazing - its a nice way to really sweat and burn calories and use Pilates-esc graceful movements!!!! If you do Pilates at all, I highly recommend checking out Simpatico Pilates and Gryotonic Studio in Santa Barbara, CA!!!!

I had never done Pilates before I walked into the Bodykind studio with my Groupon in hand. I hoped…read moreto develop some strength and flexibility that would help me with my persistent lower back pain. Being overweight, I was more than a little insecure about how I looked, but I was also desperate to feel better--and fortunately, that got me in the door. Because once I started working out at Bodykind, I developed a whole new relationship with my body and experienced the kind of validation that comes with working out with a small group and a dedicated coach. When my budget permits, I indulge in a private session, which takes that feeling to an even higher level. Pilates changed the shape of my body like no other workout I've done and I'm no longer in pain. Perhaps more importantly, the love and expertise with which owner Jenn McCandless teaches is so empowering, I walk out of each class standing taller in every way. If you are even considering checking out Pilates, or looking for a new studio, look no further. Bodykind is wonderful.

The good instructors are very good (looking at you, Natalie!), and the not so great ones just have a lot to learn. Decent variety of classes, mainly vinyasa flow classes. However, for such a small space with 3 classes a day offered MAX, no classes on the weekend, and a couple of inexperienced instructors... $100/mo for an unlimited membership is quite steep! I've paid $65/mo at other small private studios with more experienced instructors that offer about 8 classes per day! Just food for thought.
