Pilates Loft 

I’m Bre, and I am all about movement. A lifelong dancer and daily mover, I continue to be inspired to grow within my so-far, 8-year-long career as a movement instructor. My qualifications lie in graduating from California State University Long Beach with a BA in Dance Science, completing the BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training with Dance Specialization, a 200-hour yoga teacher-training program through YogaWorks, attending continuing education programs such as Low Back Pain & Pilates: Flexion and Extension Based Programs, Pilates for the Mature Client, Pilates for pelvic floor work, and Pilates for rehab. Staying updated on the latest research and information in the Pilates and movement world is important to me! As a exercise practitioner, I aim to teach mindful movement with Pilates, Yoga, strength, and rehab exercises. With my teachings, I hope clients leave each class & session feeling uplifted and strong in their mind, body, and spirit.

For as long as I can remember, water has been my sanctuary. I spent 10 years as a competitive swimmer, feeling the rhythm of each stroke, the power in every lap. My journey then flowed into coaching, where for 5 years, I had the joy of guiding swimmers, from the young to the seasoned, helping them find their own strength and grace in the water. But it was on the reformer where I discovered something even deeper ---- my deep core😉. Pilates opened a new world for me, one where the mind and body unite in harmony. The confidence, strength, and connection I found through Pilates was transformative, and it ignited a passion within me that I now have the pleasure of sharing with others. As I sub at Pilates Loft in Santa Barbara, my goal is to create a space where you can explore this mind-body connection, where every movement brings you closer to your true self. My teaching style is supportive yet challenging; I believe in guiding you through each exercise with care, while also encouraging you to push past your limits and celebrate every achievement, no matter how small. Whether you're new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner, I’m here to guide you, to challenge you, and to celebrate each victory along the way! Outside the studio, I’m still drawn to the water—whether it’s the beach or the pool—still captivated by its calm and power. I’m also pursuing my MBA at George Washington University and enjoying life with my orange tabby cat, Zion. I can’t wait to meet you and help you experience the transformative power of Pilates.
