ABOUT THE STUDIO

We are located in the heart of the NoHo Arts District at 5116 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood CA 91601. Just a few short blocks south of Magnolia.

The studio is designed to be a place for hard work and fun. A place to make community, and remake ourselves into our best version - through the powerful practices of yoga, pilates and the healing powers of sound and aromatherapy.

We teach classical pilates here because this version of Pilates, has changed my life and that of my clients - pain relief, greater mobility, strength, and balance. The studio is stocked with the finest Pilates equipment on earth, by the original makers at Gratz. In an effort to make Pilates accessible there are group and private sessions and an array of payment options.

Our yoga classes include the whole of the yogic teachings (asana, mantra, mudra, and philosophy)and emphasize safe alignment. We have a variety of yoga class formats to see your needs. Flow and Glow - is a sweaty vinyasa practice and we move through the continuum to slow flow, and candlelight rest and restore.

In an effort to take care of the whole person we offer Soundbath and Soundhealing (personal) session and aromatherapy. Every Sunday we have a soundbath for you, and wonderful sound facilitators. Aromatherapy classes and DIY events are coming soon.

ABOUT SWAN

Swan is a lifelong student of movement and mind-body practices, with a deep passion for teaching and practicing yoga, dance, and Pilates. With a foundation in competitive gymnastics and three years of coaching experience, Swan developed a strong understanding of movement and fitness, which informs her approach to teaching.

Swan is certified in both contemporary and classical Pilates, and while contemporary is certainly fun, it's the classical that has changed her life. When Swan dove into the classical method, her injuries from gymnastics became much more manageable, her strength grew, and back pain eased.

Swan is skilled in several yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Hatha, and Slow Flow, and strives to bring a mindful and dynamic energy to each class, and has practiced yoga for over 20 years.

Believing in the holistic connection between physical and emotional wellness Swan has pursued Sound Healing after experiencing firsthand the positive impacts. She holds many certifications and has specific training in Tuning Forks, Tibetan Bowls and the Monochord. Lastly, Swan is currently pursuing certification in aromatherapy, inspired by the transformative power of essential oils.

Swan's teaching is a celebration of movement, mindfulness, and the joy of self-expression, creating a supportive and inspiring space for all to explore their practice.

"Swan is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor, very skilled at isolating and correcting any issues. In the months I have been working with her I can feel my body, not just with the larger muscles but the stabilising muscles that help with balance and posture. Swan has also helped me gain a greater understanding of what my body is doing, where there are misalignments and tightness, and how to correct it. Best of all she is a joy to work with- generous, understanding, patient, all colored with a sense of humor. I feel so lucky to have found Swan as an instructor."

-Callie, Private Client

"Thank you so much for another amazing semester of yoga sharing your Yoga and practice with us and teaching us the proper form and technique. I always look forward to your class and feel grounded, calm and refreshed afterwards."

-Rusian, Yoga Client

"After a class with MaLisa, I feel stronger, leaner, taller, and accomplished! One of the many things I enjoy about her class is her effective cueing us in the group classes as we move through the exercises. Beginners to Advanced students of Pilates will benefit from a class with MaLisa."

-Julie, Pilates Client

-Callie, Private Client
