Om Studios is a locally-owned yoga and fitness studio offering all-levels of classes that range from warm and sweaty to slow-down and chill-out. We believe that life is meant to be enjoyed and we can't wait to be apart of yours.

NEW TO OM
MEET THE TEAM

We don’t take ourselves too seriously and hope that you won’t either. At Om Studios we are all about having fun and creating an uplifting community. We do our very best to make our space accessible and welcoming to all.

Every week we welcome people who are absolutely brand new to yoga and group  classes. We completely understand how starting something new can be intimidating, especially if you don’t really know what to expect in your first class. But don’t worry! Although yoga can be challenging, it really isn’t about doing the poses “perfectly.”

Our teachers are there as guides, but it’s up to you to listen to your body and practice at your own pace and comfort level. We look forward to lots of laughs and down dogs together.

I WAS A BIT NERVOUS SINCE I WAS NEW TO YOGA, BUT EVERYONE WAS VERY NICE AND MADE ME FEEL WELCOME. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE GREAT AND ALWAYS OFFER POSES FOR NEW YOGIS. THE FACILITY IS SPA-LIKE AND VERY SOOTHING WITH CLEAN AREAS, PLEASANT MUSIC, AND NICE AROMAS. I FEEL PAMPERED WHEN I LEAVE!"

Frances

PILATES INSTRUCTOR

A Southern California native, Frances has had twenty years experience in sales and marketing, as well as thirteen years in labor relations, retiring in 2013. She and her husband aspired to make the Central Coast their last place of residency. Once he retired in 2019 that began to manifest; their goal to relocate here where they are most grateful for the journey. The voyage into Pilates began in 2017 with Club Pilates. She practiced five to six days a week, making Pilates a life and full body commitment. She devoted herself to learning the mind, body, and soul connections; experiencing the natural strengthening of not only her body but also her mind. The many people that encouraged her are what ultimately drew Frances to Teacher Training in 2019. She completed her Club Pilates Comprehensive program prior to COVID-19, however her certification was delayed as a result. The principles, physiology, and anatomy are what assured her tremendously. Empowering others to be a part of the Pilates’ community and practice, strengthening their mind, body and soul continues to inspire her. The education of Pilates was intended for Frances’ own edification, not to teach, however, upon completion, her dedication and commitment did not go unnoticed. At Club Pilates, she began as an apprentice teacher before receiving her certification in October 2020, where she taught until February 2021. In March 2021, Frances was referred to Lindsay Wetterau of OM Studios who continues to enrich her to grow; Frances is embracing this opportunity to teach with the beautiful instructors and staff at OM Studio!
