The studio is impeccably clean, filled with natural light, high end equipment and a calming and welcoming atmosphere. Instructor Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, fantastic at providing cues that challenge you while ensuring proper form. In a short amount of time I was able to improve my strength, flexibility and reduce my post mastectomy pain. Every session was tailored to my needs. I cannot recommend Pilates in Aviara enough.

Life changing, heart opening!…read more From the bottom of my heart, working with Shannon has changed my life. I'm 32 and three years ago, I was having debilitating neck and back pain. I was working with a chiropractor, massage therapist and acupuncturist, and I'm a certified yoga teacher. Still, I found myself in the ER/urgent care every other month to receive steroidal injections and painkillers. As someone who values a more natural approach to wellness, my doctor recommended (actually prescribed) Pilates. He said, "I bet you'll be in here a lot less if you try it." And he was right. I found Shannon via Instagram when I was living in La Costa. After a quick phone call and preliminary session, I was hooked. We started slow and easy because I was rehabbing so many injuries and over the last three years have built our way up to more challenging and advanced pilates. Everything from classical to experimental, there's never a dull moment with Shannon--she's the best. I recently was re-examined by my chiropractor, and they said they were shocked by how much my spinal issues improved -- there are nearly no lingering signs of scoliosis, and I owe it to Pilates in Aviara!

Alane is so incredibly intuitive about the individual needs of each body. Before training with…read moreModern Body Pilates I sought out traditional PT as well as pelvic floor PT to address my lower back issues. Within 3 sessions with Alane I found noticeable relief in my pelvic floor and lower back and I was able to carry the adjustments I learned in training not only into my workouts but into my daily life. I highly recommend Modern Body Pilates to anyone looking to up their fitness game and/or find relief for reoccurring ailments. Since working with Alane I have been able to lift heavier, run longer and life live with overall less discomfort.

She is very unique in her teaching style and knowledge. She is conscientious of your form and uses little cues to help you remember. It was always amazing how she could watch each person and remember all of our "issues".... and offer modifications as needed. Our whole class still talks about her and how we miss her! She was more than our teacher, she was our friend. I will always appreciate the knowledge & strength I gained from Alane.

Rather than expecting perfection, she focuses on small, realistic changes to my nutrition that have naturally led to better daily decisions and long-term habits. What truly sets her apart is how she shows up every single session. She meets me with compassion and flexibility on the days when life is heavy and I genuinely need to adjust. But she also knows me well enough to recognize when I'm simply making excuses--and that's when she challenges me to push through. That balance of empathy and accountability has made all the difference. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and supported.

I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip.

I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!
