Studio Soma is a boutique Pilates studio offering personalized Pilates instruction in Burbank, CA. At Studio Soma, our mission is to honor where clients are today, while encouraging progress for tomorrow and promoting healthy function for life.
The word “SOMA” originated in Ancient Greece, where it referred to the “whole living body.” In contemporary biology, “SOMA” also refers to the portion of a neuron cell that commands its function. We take this word as our namesake because that connection between macro and micro, between body and mind, is central to Pilates as a practice and to whole body well-being.
Pilates is a system of movement that improves postural alignment, balance, coordination, and core strength. It achieves these goals through focused development of muscle, flexibility, and endurance. And it makes these goals accessible at all phases of life and to all bodies.
At Studio Soma Pilates, our approach is informed by modern sports medicine and the latest understanding in biomechanics to engage your whole body in feeling its best, whether you’re recuperating from an injury or pursuing a new goal. We apply deep expertise to guide you through a customized program that adapts to your current needs and considers the entire person. Our focus is on building functional longevity by starting with strength, stability, and balance, and progressing to endurance, dynamic movements, and mobility. And because no two bodies are alike, no two programs at Studio Soma are either.
