Meet the Founder
Christiana Magneson

I grew up on California’s Central Coast, where a love of movement, the outdoors, and lifelong learning shaped who I am today. With a background in education and science, I’ve always been drawn to understanding how the body works and how people learn best when connected to nature.
As someone who has scoliosis and underwent spinal fusion surgery in middle school, I developed a deep, personal relationship with movement at an early age. Improving my posture, rebuilding strength, and learning how to move with intention became part of my own journey which later extending into my postpartum experience.  Pilates played a powerful role in helping me rebuild strength, reconnect with my body, and regain confidence in movement.
This natural curiosity and lived experience led me to Pilates, a practice that blends mindful movement, strength, and balance. Through Pilates, I’m able to bring thoughtful, personalized movement back to my hometown on the Central Coast, supporting clients in moving with confidence, awareness, and resilience.​​

I focus on creating highly personalized sessions that meet each client exactly where they are. My goal is to bring Pilates to you in a way that feels accessible, intentional, and tailored to your lifestyle.​
