About Alma

ALMA means soul — the invisible center that supports the body, breath, and presence.

More than a Pilates studio, Alma was created as a mindful sanctuary where movement comes from awareness rather than pressure.

Each class is designed to support strength, mobility, balance, and well-being through intentional movement and conscious breath.

Our practice is guided by four principles:

A
Armonía (Harmony)

Creating balance between strength, breath, and awareness.

L
Longitud (Length)

Finding space, fluidity, and expansion in the body.

M
Movimiento (Movement)

Cultivating control, mobility, and embodied presence.

A
Alineación (Alignment)

Supporting stability and connection from the center outward.

Classes

Suitable for all levels. Group, private & semi-private sessions available.

Apparatus Pilates

A full-body practice using the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair to build strength, mobility, and alignment through resistance and control.

Mat Pilates

A grounded and mindful movement practice using bodyweight and breath to build strength and awareness.

Barre

A full-body class inspired by dance that blends ballet, pilates, and yoga to build strength, tone, and fluidity.

Community

Alma Pilates is part of a community-centered wellness ecosystem in Playa Grande.

A portion of the studio's proceeds supports local community and environmental initiatives, creating positive impact beyond the practice itself.

We believe individual well-being can expand into collective well-being.
