Hi! I'm Eliana (or Ellie)! I'm a recent UC Santa Barbara grad, and it was during my time there that I found my love for Pilates and became a certified instructor. I grew up dancing, and movement has always been a huge part of my life... but it hasn't always come easy. That's a big reason why I love Pilates so much. There's something so rewarding about challenging yourself, getting stronger, and realizing your body is capable of things you didn't even know you could do.
Pilates has become one of my favorite outlets and a way for me to feel strong, confident, and connected to my body. I originally fell in love with Pilates for myself, but I quickly fell even more in love with teaching and the relationships I get to build with my clients. Another one of my favorite parts of teaching is creating a good playlist — good music is a must! I love creating a fun, high-energy space where you can push yourself, feel good, and leave class a little stronger (and hopefully with a new song added to your playlist). I can't wait to move with you!
