The Agile Monkey Pilates Studio is located on Pearl Alley in downtown Santa Cruz. We offer private sessions, semi-private group Pilates classes and comprehensive Pilates instructor education programs.

The studio is both serene and revitalizing, reflecting the beautiful area in which we live. With bamboo floors, lots of natural light, the full range of Balanced Body Pilates equipment, and quality instructors, it is truly a wonderful place to work out, re-focus on health and, of course, find your inner monkey!

Pilates appeals to so many because the principals are applicable to all people of all fitness levels. Each and every one of us would benefit from better posture and improved levels of strength and flexibility. Pilates can give us that. The exercises are designed to strengthen what tends to be weak (abdominals, glutes and inner thighs, for example), correct what is misaligned (bad posture, skewed pelvic alignment, knock knees, scoliosis, etc), and stretch what is tight or overused.
