Mindful Movement

I love this place the owner is fantastic! I can’t wait for my next trip to Carmel to take a class

I was lucky to spend some one on one time with Domini Anne here this weekend. When I travel I like to try different things and this trip, I tried Gyrotonic. It was my first time ever doing it and it was awesome!
First, the studio is large and well-​maintained. They have both Gyrotonic equipment and Pilates equipment. I’m a PIlates instructor and quickly noticed how fantastic the set up was. I’d definitely recommend doing Pilates here.
I was with Domini on the Gyrotonic side. There are quite a few machines and a lot of space to workout. Her instruction was top notch. She is a Master Trainer, extremely smart but she also explains things so that even a beginner could understand. It is very different than Pilates. All levels of fitness can do this and all ages, too. It was really cool to move my body differently than I normally do.
Try it!!!

They don’t advertise so when I was searching for the perfect pilates /​gyrotonic studio for me, I found it by walking by. Just looking in the windows I could see the beautifully warm and inviting atmosphere Anna Padilla has created. I spoke to her on the spot and I knew I had to look no further. The location is convenient in the picturesque Barnyard Shopping Village which is more like a quaint village of shops and cafes with gardens than a shopping center. I have been working with 2 trainers, Domini and Ellen, for about 6 weeks now and through gentle, relaxing movement, my body is already becoming stronger, more lean and fit by the day. I highly recommend this gem of a studio, a big kept secret in Carmel!

a wonderful gyrotonic studio. Ana Padilla, the owner, is amazingly skilled at what she does, and the atmosphere is lovely.
The Barnyard seems to be a collection of eclectic to necessary businesses in a beautifully laid out landscape, the vibe is relaxed. I love stopping by there. They also carry a selection of my yoga apparel which is hard to get ahold of, and some of the streetwear options. THis is just a testament to how much i love these guys.
If you’re looking for gyrotonic in Carmel, look no further, you found your oasis.
