Our Classes
Private and small group Reformer classes are offered every day of the week. We have over 20 group classes to choose from each week, including lunchtime, weekends and evenings. Small group classes are limited to 5 people and are approximately 50-55 minutes long. Although classes are listed on our schedule as Reformer Classes, we do love to incorporate other apparatus into our group classes, such as the Pilates Springboard and TRX.
** If you are new to Pilates it is required that you take a series of private sessions before joining group reformer classes. Please contact via email, text or phone to schedule your privates sessions. **
If you have previous Reformer experience and are free of injuries, please feel free to to hit the "Book Now" tab and sign up online.
Studio History
Santé Pilates Studio, named after the French word for "health", opened in Summerland in 2004 and moved to Carpinteria in 2006. The bright, spacious, fully equipped studio is conveniently located on Carpinteria Avenue near Linden, across from the Alcazar Theater. Our instructors are passionate about Pilates and love to help clients feel better and do more with their bodies safely.
At Santé Pilates Studio, we believe movement happens best in a space where everyone feels seen, supported, and welcome. Our studio culture is warm, inviting, and grounded in genuine connection—whether it’s your first class or your thousandth, you’ll always feel at home here.
Why Pilates?
Pilates was developed a century ago by a man named Joseph Pilates. This method of mind-body exercise involves strengthening and stretching muscles of the whole body creating profound results including improved muscle tone without adding bulk, strong abdominal and back muscles, improved posture, flexibility, body awareness, balance, coordination, range of motion, and muscle symmetry. By strengthening the muscles of your inner core, Pilates can benefit any body. It can improve your sport or athletic performance, help with rehabilitation after injuries, help prevent future injuries and help decrease back, neck or joint pain.
Pilates is also an education in body awareness that goes beyond a 50 minute Pilates class and moves into your daily life. When you're sitting in front of a computer, brushing your teeth, or in the case of one of my clients who was standing at the alter - the words you hear in class come home and you stand up taller, relax your shoulders and breathe!
Client Raves:
"I have attended classes at least twice a week for over 6 years now at Santé Pilates. I cannot say enough wonderful things!. There are a variety of skilled teachers to learn from, each with a unique style, and all are excellent. This is a welcoming place where you can become stronger, and stay well while making new friends. It's a small, woman-owned studio- not corporate- and I like that, too. Coming to Santé has changed my body and helped me feel more connected to my beloved Carpinteria community. Classes there are always one of the highlights of my weeks!" Christine

"Love Sante Pilates! It's my favorite workout and I feel great after a morning class. I had so many issues with my body, especially my rotator cuff and now I feel stronger and more confident! You seriously stand taller after a class and the instructors always ask about how your body is and will help you to modify your workout to each individual's needs. Breathe, stretch and resistance = Perfect Workout!" Laura
