Hello friends... 

I'm so pleased to welcome Julie Dexter Berg to our studio team... 

Julie comes to us with impressive teaching credentials and experience. She is truly passionate about classical Pilates and has had the good fortune of studying closely with several renown master teachers. For my friends who geek out on lineage, Julie was certified by Romana Kryzanowksa directly. I'm so excited for her to bring her depth of knowlege and breadth of experience to our studio.   

Julie relocated to Ventura from Seattle after splitting her time between the two for many years. She is also a certified yoga instructor and when she's not in a Pilates or Yoga studio you can find her enjoying time with family and friends, and walking her two big dogs.

Please join me in giving Julie the biggest, warmest welcome from the Temple community. You can book a private with her Monday morning or join her for a mat class as she'll be leading the Tues and Thurs mat classes for the next 3 weeks during Kym's absence. In August, Julie will be expanding her schedule - taking over Maya's slots as Maya leaves us to pursue her PT credentials. (We'll miss her terribly but I'm so proud of her and inspired by her drive.)  

Hello friends...

I hope the new year finds you in good health and spirits. It's been a while since I've posted a message. Life has been pretty wild and wooly the past few years.  I'm happy to share some studio updates + news with you. 

STUDIO EXPANSION : TEMPLE TEACHING TEAM 
Last year our Temple Pilates team tripled in size! Kym Votruba and Maya Holbrook both joined the studio team and it's been so fun working with them both. They bring wonderful teaching skills, insights and perspectives to their sessions and classes. 

Interested in taking a class or private with Kym or Maya? We're currently offering a special deal on small group classes and associate private sessions. 

Once their schedules are filled we'll have to take down the offer so I highly encourage taking advantage of it now. 

STUDIO EXPANSION : GROUP ROOM 
We've expanded the footprint of the studio and now have two distinct spaces for classes and sessions: the light-filled front room and a calm, grounding interior room. We've gotten super positive feedback about the changes and are all enjoying the expanded space so much. 

If it's been awhile since we've seen you in the studio, I encourage  you to come back in for a session or class and check out the studio's evolution.  
 
UPDATED SCHEDULE : MORE GROUP CLASSES  
With more space and more teachers, we have been able to expand our small group class schedule. Check out our current schedule and learn more about how we approach our group classes.

​Looking for more group class options? Let us know what you want and we'll do our best to make it happen.  

Wishing you the best in this first month of the year! Hope to see you in the studio soon!

The studio remains closed for on-site lessons due to COVID19. We're prepared to re-open safely once county health gives us the green light. Stay tuned... based on the 5/18 update from Gov Newsom, we're hopeful this next step is only a few weeks away. 

In the meantime, online mat classes and private sessions are available now (and will continue to be an option when the studio has re-opened). I've been getting some great feedback about these sessions and the breakthroughs they are driving for my students. While I miss teaching on the springs so much, I’m having a lot of fun working people out online and feeling so grateful we can use technology to stay fit and healthy together. It's really been a fantastic growth opportunity for me as a teacher and I've enjoyed the challenge to translate the way I like to work and teach to a virtual setting.  

You don't need a lot to build out a highly effective home workout set up.

As we shift our focus from studio workouts to home workouts, I've compiled a list of simple, small apparatus you can buy to enhance and challenge your home mat work.

Don't want to spend any moula? There's lots of common items found in the household that can do the trick. 

A huge thank you to all who attended our Find Your Center workshop this past Sunday.  We are so grateful for your goodness and generosity!!  A total of $330 in donations were collected. 

The funds have been donated to the following organizations:

1. $110 donated to Help California 
2. $110 donated to Hill Fire and Woolsey Fire Sudden and Urgent Needs Effort via VCCF (Ventura County Community Foundation) ​
3. $110 donated to Conejo Valley Victims Fund via VCCF (Ventura County Community Foundation) 

​We chose these organizations because they are locally based and the funds directly help those who were affected by these tragedies. 

If you didn't get an opportunity to join us this time I hope you'll consider doing so for our next event/workshop. 
 
With love and gratitude, 
Nicole ​
