Alana is so great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For some background, I have been teaching Classical Pilates full time for almost 2 years and I have NEVER been stronger than I have in the last 6 months that I have been working with Alana.

While being true to the classical method, she is incredibly creative and deliberate in her implementation of exercises in a way that challenge my mind and my body. Even working together virtually, her understanding of and enthusiasm for the Classical Pilates system is apparent in the way she teaches to my body.

My weekly session with Alana is truly the highlight of my week! I find reasons to visit San Diego just to come visit her studio and work together in person. The cherry on top is that she is just a lovely person to be around, making me feel safe trying new ways of moving.

If you have any hesitations trying Pilates for the first time, let this be your sign to book with Alana and get started!

I’ve been doing Pilates with Alana for years - so many that I’ve lost count. BOWA’s Pilates bungalow is just the best. My most recent time with Alana is actually mostly duets for me and my husband to compliment our other workouts like weight lifting and it’s been really amazing to see how it’s helping us to prevent injuries and just generally build fitness and feel good in our bodies. The equipment is amazing and Alana is an incredibly experienced teacher. She does a wonderful job of cueing and personalizing her classes for all levels and abilities while also challenging you. Workouts are great and fun - it always a great way for us to start our week!

I’ve been doing classical reformer Pilates with Alana in Bird Rock for about a year, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how I feel day to day. As a hairstylist, I’m on my feet all day and tend to get tight in my upper back and shoulders. Pilates has really helped with mobility, alignment, and keeping my body feeling good. It also keeps my core tight and everything feeling snatched in the best way. Alana’s approach is rooted in the classical method, super solid, no fluff, and always consistent. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality Pilates in La Jolla or North PB.

I cannot recommend Alana at Bowa Pilates enough. I have been seeing her for over six years (!); first at another studio and then at her private studio and she is by far the best pilates instructor I have come across. If you are a real pilates junky and not just jumping on the fad - she is the girl for you! She meets you wherever you are in your session and makes sure to tailor it just right so you leave feeling looser, taller, and stronger. Plus she makes it fun and super comfortable!
