Pilates has been a therapeutic, strengthening and energizing presence in Cori’s life. After 13 years as a competitive soccer player, Pilates has provided her the opportunity to continue her spirit of athleticism through a challenging discipline that immensely benefits both the mind and body.

The practice of Pilates has directly contributed to Cori’s health and happiness, and has kept her free of the chronic back pain that resulted from a fracture to her spine during a snowboarding accident. In addition to maintaining the health of her spine, Pilates has helped to enhance the hobbies that Cori enjoys outside of the studio such as surfing, hiking and cycling.

It is Cori’s goal to provide each and every client with the sense of renewed energy, grace and total wellness that she has discovered in Pilates. With her comprehensive training through Body Arts and Science International, Cori appreciates every opportunity to share what she has learned with her clients. She looks forward to continuing her education and growth within the discipline through the study of Pilates-based rehabilitation methods.

Harmony started Pilates in June 2009 to get her body back in shape after having a baby. Pilates was a new exercise experience for her and she ended up loving it so much that she decided to take the BASI comprehensive instructor course. Transitioning into teaching Pilates is not a far stretch for Harmony. She is a certified athletic trainer (sports medicine) with a Bachelor’s degree in Sport Sciences and a Master’s degree in Physical Education/Outdoor Education.

She has enjoyed working with a wide variety of populations, including athletes, elderly and those who exercise just to feel good. She enjoys blending Pilates with her other interests of running, walking, swimming and many other outdoor pursuits.

Recently, Pilates has helped enhance her training for full- and half-marathons. “I look forward to seeing how Pilates enhances other aspects of my life.”

Bio coming soon!
Seth studied at Power Pilates in New York city, under the guidance of second generation masters Bob Liekens and Susan Moran. In addition to Pilates, Seth is also a personal trainer certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. While growing up in Idaho, Seth was very active riding horses and playing soccer, but it was studying dance at North Carolina School of the Arts that sparked his interest in fitness as a profession. After graduating with a BFA in Dance, he moved to New York to dance professionally, and found that, like most dancers, he needed a second career to support his dancing. Using his in-depth knowledge of the body and movement, Seth quickly became a sought-after fitness instructor for people looking to feel better through movement. His teaching merges west coast compassion with New York intensity and incorporates his experience in dance, yoga and traditional fitness modalities. He is very excited to find a home at Camarillo Pilates!
According the Pilates Method Alliance:

Around 1914, Joseph Pilates was a performer and a boxer living in England and, at the outbreak of WWI, was placed under forced internment along with other German nationals in Lancaster, England. There he taught fellow camp members the concepts and exercises developed over 20 years of self-study and apprenticeship in yoga, Zen, and ancient Greek and Roman physical regimens. It was at this time that he began devising the system of original exercises known today as “matwork”, or exercises done on the floor. He called this regimen “Contrology.” A few years later, he was transferred to another camp, where he became a nurse/caretaker to the many internees struck with wartime disease and physical injury. Here, he began devising equipment to rehabilitate his “patients,” taking springs from the beds and rigging them to create spring resistance and “movement” for the bedridden.

In a way, Pilates equipment today is not much different than that of yesteryear. Spring tension, straps to hold feet or hands, supports for back, neck and shoulder are as important now as they were then. Because of the remarkable nature of the equipment to both challenge and support the body as it learns to move more efficiently, the inimitably designed pieces truly act as a complement to the challenging “matwork” exercises.

In my experience with Camarillo Pilates Studio, the instructors have been fantastic, the equipment is up to date and always clean, and the environment is quaint, yet invigorating. I always leave their feeling refreshed and energetic. I am most impressed with the knowledge of the instructors. They are not your every day personal trainers. Love it!

Jane and her associates have taken me from knowing nothing about Pilates to fully experiencing its benefits. I am 50-something and very active with equestrian sports. Pilates gives me a full body workout with emphasis on my core. Jane’s teaching style keeps me motivated.

I have been attending classes at Camarillo Pilates since it began. Jane and her staff are extremely well trained and able to personalize a program for each client. As an older woman, I have found it greatly beneficial to maintaining posture, flexibility, and movement. The studio also has a welcoming environment.

Camarillo Pilates is THE best Pilates studio by far. All of the instructors, especially owner Jane Quaney, are awesome. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for Pilates!

Love, love, love the classes. Pilates mat work and machine should be a requirement for everyone. I’ve never felt so good!

Big shout out to Ms Jane at Camarillo Pilates! I have been a member at a number of fitness studios in LA and Ventura counties and I love her classes and her energy. Best equipment and the best programs (and advice) I have come across. Jane is a great partner on the road to better health!
