The Studio

It all began with an idea 15 years ago. I opened Happy Belly Studios in 2010, moved 3 times, and closed it in 2020. I learned a lot along the way. I also realized it takes a small village and a large Army of soldiers to make things happen. Garden and Oak Pilates is a combination of all things I love, all the things I have learned along the way and a lot of magic thrown into the mix. I hope you come by and say hello where Big City Vibes and Small Town Feels make the magic happen. Welcome to Garden and Oak Pilates.
