HEAL: Pilates is a full-service boutique Pilates studio. We teach private, group reformer, and mat classes in person and online.
We specialize in rehabilitation and also love challenging our fitness-focused clients to achieve their goals. Ayanna Makalani, owner of HEAL: Pilates, spent her childhood competing as a gymnast and turned to modern dance in college. Introduced to Pilates during rehabilitation for knee surgery, she found it to be the most effective therapy for her: not only did it stabilize and strengthen her knee,

We had a super fun educational moment after our staff meeting last weekend! Dr. Rebecca Redman OTD, OTR/L, CPT | SOFT POWER (one of our instructors that just so happens to be a pelvic floor therapist) brought in an ultrasound probe and we got to nerd out & look at some anatomy 🧠🩻
It was really wonderful to get all the staff together (instructors & administrative) as we haven’t had a chance to much this year 💕
I have a new client that has a workbook on the Pilates Reformer and is super interested in learning specific exercises. One of them was the Semi-Circle. When I first got certified I didn’t really feel much doing this exercise or find it that interesting + the flow is a bit awkward. But since he wanted to learn more about it, I played with it the other day and found the spice to it. I still feel like you can proooooobably just do bridging & feel most of what the Semi-Circle offers, BUT It was definitely fun to drop my t**h 🍑 in the pilates well. 🤣
…maybe I’ll start a new vid series called dusting off old certification exercises that I had written off and finding their magic 🤔🪄

“I had a few individual sessions at HEAL with Juna, she is so wonderful and knowledgeable! I am new to Pilates so I didn’t know what to expect, but she did a great job helping me understand how to use the Reformer and corrected my form…” ✨✨✨ Thank you, Inna! We love Juna and think she’s wonderful and knowledgeable, too! 💛 Yelp
