Joy of Movement

Pilates and Gyrotonic® Studio

Welcome!

Joy of Movement is a fully equipped Pilates, Gyrotonic®️ and Massage studio in the heart of Aptos Village and bordering the redwood trees of Nisene Marks State Park.


The studio, saturated with natural wood and light provides a soothing environment to settle the nervous system, challenge the body and receive high quality bodywork to come away stronger, more aligned and rejuvenated. This is your home away from home.


Rochelle brings her expertise to all the modalities at Joy of Movement. Private lessons are private, just you in the studio, and include training on the Pilates and Gyrotonic®️ equipment specific to your needs as well targeted massage and optional homework.

Duets and trios offer the same.


Classes are fun! Rochelle offers multiple modifications to make each exercise the perfect challenge for you. Ramp it up or ramp it down to make each exercise the “just right” challenge for you. Props and choreography are always changing to keep the and body curious, strengthened and mobilized in all possible ways. You will walk away refreshed and ready for your life.


With 25 years of experience doing therapeutic and deep tissue massage as well as cranial sacral therapy, these sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re recovering from a recent or chronic injury, or coming in for a restorative session, bodywork offers healing space. Knitting together body, heart and psyche is the domain of the healing arts.


Classes can be booked online. For privates, duets and bodywork please contact me via email or text to book a session.


I look forward to working with you!

The reformer uses springs, pulleys, bars & straps to perform over 500 exercises in a variety of positions. The equipment was originally developed to offer movement and rehab to the injured, but today it offers a more challenging version of the matwork. Because of the reformer’s attachments, it is an ideal option for those who need modifications to the mat exercises. It is also easier to increase resistance with the reformer, creating more challenging work for the advanced Pilates client.
