Group Pilates/Yoga Classes

A variety of outdoor and on-line classes are offered to fit your needs. Many classes are safe for older adults with variations offered for common conditions, such as osteoporosis. Before taking a group class, we recommend a private session to assess your needs.

Pilates/Yoga Privates

Personalized private sessions for your specific needs, on-line or in person. We assess your health history, help you create goals, and tailor a program just for you! Private sessions in the studio may include reformer, tower, mat, and/or barre exercises.

Pilates/Yoga Semi-Privates

Workout with a friend or family member to keep you both motivated and save a little money! This is for 2 clients working together on-line or in person. Semi-private sessions in the studio may include reformer, tower, mat, and/or barre exercises.

Private Events

Pilates mat or yoga classes delivered to your location or in our Metta Garden. We provide the mats and props; you tell your friends! This is great for weekend getaways, birthdays, weddings, couple’s retreats or any special occasion! Classes can also be held on-line.

Corporate Wellness Classes

Have a work retreat coming up? Book a group yoga or Pilates class to help build rapport, relieve stress, and keep their attention active. We can come to your location within SLO County or join your event on-line.

Healthy Lifestyle Coaching

As a licensed Occupational Therapist with a certification in Integrative Lifestyle Medicine, Rebecca can provide education on healthy lifestyle choices to help you reach your wellness goals. Areas of focus include stress management, sleep hygiene, nutrition, and physical activity. This information can be integrated into your private sessions.

Change happens through movement and movement heals.

Meet Rebecca

Rebecca Belsanti (she/her) has a lifelong passion for studying the human body. In her 20’s, she danced professionally, including 2 years dancing with Prince! Due to dance injuries, she shifted to healthcare, became an Occupational Therapist, and has worked in adult rehabilitation for the past 15 years. During this time, she found the healing powers of Pilates and yoga and received certifications in both practices. She used these holistic methods with her patients (and on herself) and saw incredible results. Pilates in particular helped her to rehabilitate from a shoulder surgery due to a car accident in 2013.


Rebecca has recently moved to her dream home in Cambria and is ready to share her passion for wellness with you. She currently teaches yoga and Pilates mat group classes outdoors in Cambria as well as online. In the studio, she provides privates and semi-privates using two reformers, a Pilates tower, a ballet barre, and many Pilates and yoga props. Rebecca also loves hiking local trails, beachcombing, gardening and listening to live music with her family and friends.

I am overjoyed to join the Cambria community and share my love for wellness with others! Prevention is the true answer to healthy aging, and I’ve seen my clients grow in strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence as they take classes each week. Pilates and yoga are so transformative and magical. Join the Metta family and feel it for yourself! ~Rebecca


Best of Health,


Thanks so much for being such an AMAZING pilates instructor! You introduced me to the practice of pilates, and I find myself stronger and more tone at close to 50 years old, than ever before in my life.

What is Metta?

Metta is a Pali word that means “loving-kindness.” I chose this word for my business because it is my deep wish to share loving-kindness and happiness with others. At the end of each session, I share these Metta phrases with my clients. It is my wish that they bring you joy!

 


May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you be peaceful.

 

I feel so much better after Pilates class. Rebecca is so aware of how older bodies are not always able to do the stretches and she advises us to listen to our bodies, do what we can, and offers alternative moves. This keeps me returning for her classes.
