Sheetal Gandhi

Sheetal Gandhi is a passionate and dedicated pilates instructor, choreographer and movement specialist. She received her training through the Physical Mind-Pilates Method from the Turning Point Studios in Walnut Creek and has been teaching since 2001. Like many, Sheetal came to Pilates through an injury that threatened to derail a professional dance career. By rehabilitating herself, she gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and compassion for the complex workings of the human body, and went on to perform in Cirque du Soleil, on Broadway and in her own choreographic work. Sheetal challenges her clients through discipline, form and the integration of mind and body. She addresses the “whole person” – taking into consideration each individual client’s unique goals and life-demands – to maximize their full potential. As a Pilates instructor, Sheetal has worked in several different environments ranging from high-end sports clubs, such as the Sports Club LA (in San Francisco, Beverly Hills and New York), to intimate studios and physical therapy clinics. She has trained professional athletes and dancers, clients with injuries and special needs, pregnant and postpartum clients, and so many others looking to get a solid workout and simply feel great! She brings a positive, hopeful, creative attitude to her life and work and looks forward to working with you!

Cindy Basco
A Seattle native, Cindy worked her way down the west coast performing at regional theaters along the way. When she arrived in Los Angeles she took a Pilates class and fell in love with the Pilates method, exercise that was so challenging and yet so much fun.  After practicing Pilates for 5 years, noticing the changes in her body and realizing she was stronger and more flexible than ever, she realized she was passionate about sharing Pilates with others.  So in 2004, Cindy got her formal teaching certification from 2^nd generation master teacher Jillian Hessel.  Pilates is truly for every body, regardless of age or level of fitness.  Joseph Pilates said it best, “physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”

Cindy teaches Thursdays from 4-7pm
