Arrive at you.
Step inside The Haven, and you’ll feel it immediately: a sense of calm, strength, and belonging. Designed for women in their prime, the space combines modern elegance with restorative warmth.
Warm, grounding interiors and backlit mirrors create a tranquil environment in the middle of Santa Monica, helping you disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with yourself. Every detail—from the lighting to the layout—was thoughtfully chosen to support focus, comfort, and transformation. To preserve this sense of calm, our reformer room is a phone-free space, inviting you to be fully present in your practice.
This is more than a Pilates studio. It’s a sanctuary crafted for women to move, grow, and thrive together.

Balanced Body studio reformers designed for precision, flow, and performance
Full-size changing room with spa-inspired touches
Spa-style lockers with electronic keypads, offering comfort and convenience

Frequently Asked Questions
The Haven is designed for women in their prime: women who value strength, balance, and confidence at every age.
Our Pilates practice honors how your body evolves, supporting hormonal shifts, bone health, muscle tone, and overall vitality. Whether you’ve been practicing for years or are returning to movement, you’ll find a community that meets you where you are and helps you grow stronger—inside and out.
Our Reformer classes are offered at three levels: Beginner, Mixed Level, and Advanced.
- Beginner Reformer is for those new to Pilates or returning after time away. You’ll learn foundational principles, build confidence, and strengthen your connection to your body.
- Mixed Level Reformer blends strength, stability, and flow—ideal for those with a consistent practice who are ready to be challenged and refine their technique.
- Advanced Reformer challenges experienced practitioners with progressive sequences, powerful resistance, and seamless transitions.
Each class is intentionally capped at 12 participants to ensure personal attention and a transformative group experience.
We recommend comfortable, form-fitting activewear to support movement and alignment. Please bring Pilates grip socks (available for purchase at the studio). All other equipment—reformers, props, etc.—are provided. We also encourage you to bring a water bottle; filtered water is available on-site.
All bookings are managed through our studio platform, Momence. Simply visit our website or download the Momence app to create your account, explore the schedule, and reserve your classes.
Members can book classes one week in advance, and Haven Circle members can book classes two weeks in advance.
If a class is full, we encourage you to join the waitlist. Should a spot open up, you’ll be automatically added to the class and notified by email and text. We ask that you remove yourself from the waitlist if your plans change to allow other members the opportunity to attend.
We understand that life happens—and so we offer a 10-minute grace period. For the focus and flow of the class, late arrivals of more than 10 minutes cannot be admitted.
We encourage you to arrive 10 minutes early to store your items in our spa lockers, transition from your day into your practice, and enjoy the welcome lounge.

Meet the team.
Our Pilates instructors are more than teachers—they’re guides. Each member of The Haven team brings deep expertise, empathy, and a shared belief that strength is both physical and emotional.
We believe in meeting every client where they are and helping them progress safely, intentionally, and with care. Through consistent connection and personalized attention, our team creates an environment where women feel supported, seen, and inspired.
Together, we build strength—in body, mind, and community.
The Haven founder.
I’m Kimberly, a long-time Santa Monica local who spent 20 years in biotech and health innovation before founding The Haven Pilates Studio. After two decades in a demanding corporate career, I felt a deep pull toward something more intentional: proactive wellness, real connection, and a way to support women in a season of life where strength truly matters.
Pilates became how I rebuilt my own strength, and The Haven is my way of bringing that home to the community I’ve lived in and loved for two decades. If you’ve ever wished for a space that really gets this chapter you’re in, this studio is for you: a sanctuary where women can feel strong, confident, and connected.
