We are taking great precautions to help keep you safe at the studio. We want to ensure the easiest transition for everyone to enjoy classes again while feeling safe. Please be patient with us and your classmates as the guidelines that we have implemented may change at anytime due to updated Government protocol.

All clients and employees are required to wear a face covering while on premises until otherwise mandated by the state of California.
Class size will be reduced to following social distancing requirements of a minimum of 6 feet distance.
We have implemented a new "Entry & Exit System." All clients will wait outside while the previous class finishes up, grabs their personal belongings, and exits out the back of the studio safely. The next class will then enter through the front door and check in with our front desk staff.
All clients will undergo a mandatory touchless temperature check and verbal symptomatic check subject to studio discretion.
All props will be housed in an individual prop box next to each individual reformer.
Thorough deep cleaning, air filtration, fogging, disinfectant, and UV disinfectant will be used to sanitize the studio after each class.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the studio in the safest way possible! For more on our safety guidelines, please visit our instagram or reach out directly! customerservice@drpilatesla.com

Stretch with Jordan Tisdale Book an Appointment

A stretch session with Jordan is a hybrid of GTO stimulation, AIS and PNS stretching. The goal of the session is to find the dysfunction that may be causing discomfort or altered biomechanics and alleviate it. First we will identify where adhesions, overactive muscles and other dysfunctions may be. Use percussion therapy to stimulate the GTO of the muscles to calm the over activity and flush any build up of lactic acid. Now that the problem area is now maluble and relaxed to the point of being able to be lengthened we begin to stretch. Using AIS and PNS we are able to take the shortened and overactive muscles and put them back to their natural length and induce the correct amount of tension in that area. This will allow for the body to function more naturally and with less pain. A law of muscles is it will always align its self around trauma, now we get a chance to realign it around relief.
