About Us

Aloe Pilates is a boutique studio within a mile from the vibrant Santana Row. It is in a quiet back corner of a small plaza with ample parking. With private, semi-private and small group classes of up to only five people, our master instructors focus on Forms and deliver the tailored care you deserve. We believe the most efficient and effective exercises are customized around your body, goals, and limitations.

A message from the founder, Susie: I was first introduced to Pilates as part of my rehabilitation in 2015 after a traumatic accident when I was a stiff tech senior manager. Pilates healed my body and I fell in love with the movement. During this transformative journey I held on to the inspiration provided by the word 知己 which means "know oneself" in Chinese. It could also mean "a true friend" who knows you. The injury recovery journey inspired me to pursue a Stott based Comprehensive Pilates Certificate on all apparatuses. I am also a Corrective Exercise Specialist from NASM and continue taking classes in either rehabilitation or Pilates. I am passionate about programming science-based Pilates exercises to help people achieve their movement goals and learn more about themselves in the process. Let us celebrate our differences and support each other on our journey to better health!
