In a city where there seems to be a pilates studio practically on every block, Mind & Motion stands apart and is a wonderful studio to learn and hone the pilates practice as a way of life for the mind and body. All of the teachers are friendly and professional and I really appreciate that the studio is a no-frills, quiet, focused environment. I would like to give a special shout-out to Wendy, who really gives such fun and creative classes! Thank you! read more

the best place to do Pilates in the area. All the teachers take care of you with love and happiness. I am in love to see my body transform going there. very recomendable read more

I've worked with a number of Pilates teachers over the past 5 years, and Meghan is the best. Ever! I am so in awe of what she does, I don't even know how to explain it. I started doing Pilates at the recommendation of a physical therapist for chronic scapular back pain. I had tried many different modalities of back therapy (traditional PT, cranial sacral, orthopedic physician consultation, acupuncture, pain clinics, etc.) While each helped a bit, Pilates was far more dramatic; it actually cured my back problems. I am now pain-free in my back. Meghan is now taking me to a level I never imagined. She has been realigning my spine, straightening out my scoliosis & kyphosis, allowing me to do everyday activities with much less energy, allowing me to breathe more fully than I have ever been able to breathe, making me taller and stand with deeper groundedness, and making me feel stronger and healthier than I have ever felt. As a child growing up, I was very uncoordinated and awkward physically. As a result, I tend to be extremely self-conscious and insecure in physical fitness activities. Meghan is an exceptionally bright-spiritied, gentle, fun, easy-going coach who pushes me with encouragement and ease. Rather than dreading our sessions (as I have with physical fitness activities in the past), time with Meghan is always a pleasure and seems to go by too fast! I'm super grateful to Meghan. I wish her nothing but wonderful customers for her work...for which she is truly gifted. read more

I've been coming to Mind and Motion for two years now. After years of jumping from promo to promo at other Pilates studios around town, this studio finally made me feel like it was worth the price tag. True to its name, it's changed both my brain and my body. I love the small class sizes-- there are only 5 reformers, so that's the most you'll ever have in a class. The instructors have experience above and beyond just "pilates certified" (backgrounds in dance, martial arts, kinesiology, massage to name a few), and it shows in the way they teach and shape their students. The intimate setting is great for both beginners and those looking to deepen their practice with more individualized attention. I can't recommend it enough. read more

this is THE studio if you want to learn how to do pilates PROPERLY!! during my last 3 years of challenging classes with meghan and her carefully-chosen instructors i have built a ton of strength, stamina and tone. safely. i attribute this to the fact that meghan and many of her team are dancers.. and dancers know the body like no-body ;) sweet boutique space, quality teachers using quality knowledge, you can't go wrong. read more

I've never try pilates before. And I'm happy that my first class was here. They have small calsses so it seems like individual trainig. And friendly authmoschere. Very good. :) read more

A fantastic, family owned business. Truly the best pilates studio in Los Angeles. Forget all those 'mass produced' pilates studio where the instructors don't even look at your form or get to know you. I've been to those and they suck. Here, classes are small (5 people max), so you never feel left out of the shuffle. Meghan, owner and head trainer, is so gifted, pays attention to detail, and really takes the time to get to know you as a person. The rest of the instructors are phenomenal as well, and after going there for almost 2 years, I can say my body has really changed. I've recovered from a gruesome car accident that left my back in terrible shape. And I've gained core strength like never before. The space is beautifully designed with impeccably clean equipment and lots of light. They also offer a range of classes from jump board classes, mat pilates, private classes, and massage treatments. I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt the need to because I love Mind & Motion so damn much! read more

I've been practicing pilates as long as I can remember... There was a time in my life when I took either a mat class or a a private session on the reformer 5 days a week! Meghan is incredibly knowledgeable and her attention to detail is immaculate! I only have time to go once a week these days but I always make time to see Meghan as her studio and presence are required for a peaceful life. read more

I began pilates after abdominal surgery. After a long recovery, I needed to start moving again. I needed to strengthen my core and pelvic floor. My physical therapist recommended I research Certified Pilates Instructors who had done additional work in Kinesiology. I interviewed several and choose Mehgan! She has a wonderful gentle caring approach and integrates mind and body (note the name she has chosen for the studio). She has carefully chosen the most qualified instructors; they come from a background of ballet and dance, stunt work and acrobatics. There are only five reformers so you get individual attention. The instructors are interested in what's best for your unique situation and they inspire you to do your very best. Of course the classes attract the young and beautiful, actors and dancers who are in great shape, but no need to feel intimidated! I'm 75 and I was welcomed! Mehgan has created a warm healing space and I'm so glad I found her! read more

A great experience. Just can't say enough good thing about Meghan and her studio. Certainly the most professional, attentive , caring training I have ever done. I am an older guy so my need to be worked with care. I sure get that. When I started there I was six months from a very serious back surgery. My balance was awful and even with weight training I had core problems Well I don't any more. Feel strong and have decent endurance. Only problem is now I'm addicted. Not a bad problem really. read more

I cannot properly describe my respect and admiration of Meghan and what she's created at Mind and Motion. I am a professional in the field and have gotten to know her work well and I can properly describe her as immensely competent, professional, kind, and capable. Her outlook on the body, and the value of movement is unmatched in the city, and her offerings at Mind and Motion are unique in the field. I appreciate that she thinks creatively about the body to help people move with more ease, gracefulness, and stability, and picks up with people wherever they are to help them achieve their goals. She's just as comfortable working with a professional dancer as she is working with someone who has never been on a reformer, which is a great skill. Her equipment is great, her staff is excellent, and the community of movers is welcoming. Check it out--she's got the right stuff! read more

I LOVE this place. I took level 1 with Mariana and she's a super sweet girl. What I love most about this place is that the classes are super small, so you get ALL the attention that you need. I use to go to the Wed 7:15am class. There's usually only 2 other people or sometimes NONE! So sometimes it's a private class just for me. I love Mariana, and would love to go back to her classes. Due to some personal issues, I cannot go to 7:15am classes anymore, and I can't make it back at other times, which is really sad for me. Would love some time to go back. Weekend classes usually fills up really fast. So you should sign up super early if you want to go weekend classes. read more

Meghan is fabulous, really knows her "stuff". i go 2 x a weeks and am leaner and stronger for it. she concentrates on ones own individual needs.. I highly recommend Mind and Body! read more

Very mindful and caring instructors. Each session starts by an inquiry as to whether I have any special areas I want to work on. Beautiful studio and I always walk out feeling so much better than when I walked in. read more

Needless to say, I love this studio. It has recently expanded so that mat and dance classes are offered in the adjacent space. I have been with Meghan for at least 10 years, long before she developed this amazing state of the art studio. No need to worry about injury. The instructors are all dynamic professionals who love their work in movement, health, dance and sport. Pilates classes are small; no more than 5 in a class so personal attention is offered at every level. Meghan is the master teacher, but I also love Amanda's class which is creative and clever. read more

I've been coming to this studio regularly for four months now. It's a fantastic studio - amazing knowledgeable teachers, clean equipment, with a friendly community. Mix of classes and styles is great to keep things fun. Highly recommended! read more

A fantastic studio with great ambiance and fantastic teachers! Highly recommend coming as a continued client.

Meghan is one of the best pilates instructors out there. With full knowledge of body mechanics and a keen sense on how to instruct each individual, you get a tailored to your needs session. I've never had a session with someone so attentive and skilled before. You feel great and so balanced after seeing her. Her fun spirit makes the experience pleasurable as well and I can't wait to go back. read more

A terrific studio, all great teachers and small classes so lots of attention and appropriate corrections. Very good work out but movements are done correctly so no risk of injury. Been going regularly for a couple years. read more

Before seeing Meghan I had nagging pain in my neck and shoulders, after a few weeks the pain subsided and I was hooked. Now I can't imagine my live without Meghan! She is by far the most knowledgeable movement specialist I ever worked with. I've sent a lot of friends and family (including my husband) to her and they can't say enough kind things about her and her craft. read more

I have been doing private sessions with Meghan for several years. She helped me recover from one pregnancy and work though another. She helps me stay strong and focused with her through knowledge of the body and how it works and moves. I took a class with her for the first time this week and it was outstanding. I am glad i found her and you will be too! read more

Meghan is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring pilates teacher. She has a Master's in Kinesiology in addition to being a certified Pilates instructor, and this gives her a lot of additional knowledge that she uses to address each individuals' unique challenges. Meghan has used Pilates amazingly to help me eliminate pain from an inflamed nerve in my foot and to restore proper curvature of my spine. She has been much more effective than the physical therapist my physician sent me to. read more

Love this place. Cosy four person classes so you get a ton of one-on-one attention. Great work out. Lovely people. Always happy to come here, and I say this as someone who really despises exercise. All of the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable. read more

I love her RPA class. It's a great way to start the week and has helped me with my posture and downward facing dog as well as getting to my body and out of my head for auditions. read more
