“Missoni is a dream to work with. She and I have collaborated many times over the years and her professionalism, attention to detail and quality instruction are unmatched. Whether she is teaching a workshop, continuing education, or a retreat, I cannot recommend her enough! I can’t wait to have her back in my studio later this year.”

— Kelsey Wiedenhoefer (Owner of Move with Studio + KW Well)

“Love this space to move! Such a beautiful class, the cozy aesthetic is wow and Missoni is such a great teacher and really hands on. I’ve done Pilates off and on for years and this is now my favorite place and I definitely will be making this a regular routine. Thank you for providing such a warm and safe space for us to move! You will feel it after one class!”

— Johanna Snyder (Baby’s Marche’)

“I absolutely love ALL of Missoni’s classes! These classes have done so much for my recovery, keep me injury free and I get stronger every week! Being a runner and a mountaineer, this has done wonders for me… I’m faster, have more endurance and just overall more solid in my athletic abilities. Missoni helps you to push past plateaus you didn’t know were there… cannot say enough good things!”

— GRETCHEN S.

“Missoni is spectacular. A spiritual goddess crossed with a movement specialist. She will leave you feeling better than ever. I would go everyday if I could. Highly recommend to anyone looking for Pilates and more. I love that the classes are always tailored to the areas I want to work on and Missoni always has unique and interesting workouts to target those areas. She is always coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to keep us engaged. The classes have helped me build strength in my glutes, arms and abdominals while helping me strengthen my back with my scoliosis. I cannot thank Missoni enough as I always leave feeling better than I did walking in.”

— Emily S.

“Missoni Lanza teaches with competency, passion, and enthusiasm that has positively influenced the value I place on my health. Her warm spirit and individually targeted strategies made my Pilates experience addictive. I have noticed positive changes in the way I feel, how I look, and the way I live my life since working with Missoni. I do not think twice about recommending her as a Pilates/Fitness Instructor to anyone who is serious about changing their health for the better.”

— CHRISTINA L.

“I have worked with Missoni for several years and really appreciate her ability to incorporate multiple disciplines with an sharp eye for detail. Combining this with her great sense of humor makes for an extraordinary experience.”

— Wayne B.

“I’ve known Missoni for 10+ years and watched her grow from being a naturally talented instructor to a great one. Through hard work and an insatiable curiosity about movement she has built a successful business with a deservedly loyal clientele. She has studied with masters in the industry to become one herself. She always gives her all and personalizes every hour for every client based on their individual needs at that moment. An impressive and rare quality.”

— Richard S.

“Missoni Lanza gave me a private training alternative to group classes that didn’t feel covid compatible. My beloved but sedentary job put me in a literal bind that my cherished trainer Missoni Lanza is helping me out of. I highly recommend this studio.”

— Kirsten H.P

“My regular ZOOM sessions with Missoni have enabled me to continue to progress with Pilates keeping my body limber and gaining strength. Missoni really knows her stuff and is able to communicate her instructions in such a clear and concise manner that I don’t have to spend time thinking about her directions. This is a real art. I look forward to my fun sessions with her and value both her expertise and her friendship.”

— Jim J.

“Thank you for all you are doing helping me stay active and in good shape. The zoom sessions are spectacular. I have joked that I may never go back to anyone’s studio because zoom has been very productive. The combination of slight stenosis and a high risk person with the pandemic really concerned me. You provided the solution on both my issues. I have seen very realistic improvements in my back while staying safe. What I am really impressed with is through zoom you are making sure my form is good at the same level as if I am in the studio. The real advantage for me is as summer heats up and I go to the beach, I no longer have an exude to not be doing my Pilates with you. You find me on zoom and it is working!!! You are the best in my 25 years of Pilates. Thank you!!!”

— Steve P.

“Missoni is such an invaluable teacher. She has such a skilled eye and unique toolkit to address some of the more complex issues happening in the body. My body feels amazing every time I work with her. She's been a big part of overcoming some of my body "quirks" that have stumped many others.”

— Jenny Redford (Certified Pilates Instructor + Movement Specialist)

“I was referred to Missoni lanza by a friend who suggested she could help me cope with unbearable pain from an injury. The pain and strain had been ongoing for almost three weeks when my emergency appointment was scheduled. It took a matter of minutes for her to identify the source of the issue and begin working to correct it (I had sought other care which has functionally done nothing to help). Within two sessions, she helped reset my body and the pain. She gave me exercises and tips on how to keep my body in the right form and to keep it from reverting into the position that was so excruciating. Missoni has remarkable skills and I cannot encourage you more to visit her for private sessions or any classes she's teaching.”

—Anthony W.

“Missoni provided Pilates instruction on our river cruise up the Danube and it was a resounding success! Her first class was well-attended, and only increased in numbers throughout the week as word quickly spread among our guests. We will look forward to having her join us again in the future!”

— MATT MONTGOMERY (CASTLES + CONCERTS)

“Missoni helps you learn so much about your body. I take what she teaches me into my posture and movements at work and into other workouts I do.”

— Cleo A.

“I've been attending Missoni's classes for almost 3 years and have been impressed with her from the beginning. She brings her expertise in body movement to each session and uses descriptve phrasing to help you understand how to properly perfom pilates moves to prevent injury and improve form. I have been taking pilates classes for over 10 years to strenghten my back, recover from sciatica and for overall body toning, Missoni is by and far the best instructor I've had.”

— ELLE O.E.

“I came to meet Missoni soon after I moved to the Low Desert. I was hopeful to begin an exercise regiment of some sort. I was concerned as I had had a bowel obstruction and thus scar tissue throughout my abdomen. Additionally, I had a weak back, and my balance was not very good. I played golf and walked, daily. Never having done pilates, I decided I'd give this a try. My first visit, feeling quite insecure - I walked out of the studio with my endorphins exploding! Four years later, I'm still in love with pilates and Missoni. She has done everything to support my lack of coordination and make my body stronger and my self confidence high. My stamina has increased, as has my strength and balance. I've had several friends notice the difference in my body, muscle tone, etc. What a compliment to Missoni. I "zoomed" through COVD, which as ineffective as I thought it might be, it was totally an advanced workout. When I wasn't able to perform as instructed, she would draw pictures for me!!! It kept me sane, and we had many laughs throughout each session. Now that her studio is complete, so is my three time a week workout. Most importantly, I know I am having a great, SAFE workout. Missoni's attention to detail is unsurpassed. She's just fabulous, and makes a workout challenging and fun. Thank you, Missoni”

— CINDY K.

“I have been working out with Missoni for the last couple of years. I have done Pilates for the last 20 years and yet the work with Missoni has improved my posture and my overall fitness. Thanks to the disciplined approach and the exactness of the training. Missoni has shown an incredible amount of patience in helping me master my technique. I would highly recommend Missoni to anyone of any age who wants to be and remain in shape. Thank you Missoni!”

— Alain P.

“Missoni is quite literally the best. She knows how to push you to achieve while remaining sensitive to any injuries or other limitations and she is remarkable in her ability to shape and re-shape a program to suit your evolving needs. She is also a really lovely, lively person, which makes any training session or class much more fun!”

— BARRETT C.

“Missoni is incredibly articulate and considerate in her guidance and very supportive the entire time. She is concise and informative as well, which, as a nurse, I very much appreciate. The space is beautiful and as I was stretching at one point, I looked towards the window and the view was magical as the sky and Palm Trees smiled back at me. I’m definitely looking forward to my next session. Thank you, Missoni.”

— TALIA L.

“On a Danube cruise, last fall, I was fortunate to have a week of Pilates instruction from Missoni Lanza. I have had some Pilates classes previously but they did not compare to this experience. In a fun, relaxed way, Missoni was able to emphasize the finer points of the exercises. I really think I found my abs for the first time ever! Last but not least, Missoni is one of the most lovable people I have ever met and I know plenty of people share my opinion.”

— MARIANNE A.

“Missoni Lanza is THE best person to go to if you have pain! She will help you restore and regain your life back. I have had pretty bad lower back pain for who knows how long. I’m the type of person who just pushes through and doesn’t take the time to really focus on taking care of myself. Not after working with her! I am more motivated and feel better than I have in a long time! This woman knows what she’s doing. She will teach you tips and tricks on how to make your body stronger and healthier with every session. In ONE session she was able to look at me, knew exactly where to start, and what we needed to do to release this pain. In ONE session my lower back pain was gone,. I could walk and bend without being in constant pain. I can’t wait to keep working with her and learn how to release my pain/stress the right way so I can get back to living my fullest life. This girl is my miracle worker! Let her be yours too! She works hard to get you where you need to be. All you have to do is put in the work with her. You won’t be disappointed!”

— BRITTANY B.

“Missoni’s character, humor, sincerity and thoughtfulness makes every Pilates class more than just a workout. She care so deeply about her students—from Pilates and beyond. She’s reliable and most importantly, honest.”

— ADRIANA W.

“I ADORE Missoni! Her style of teaching is so fun and challenging! She has show me so many NEW exercises, and made them so fun!! Missoni is warm and easy going… And your body will sure know that you’ve met her! Sweet and cute and professional, you will be hooked too!”

— MELANIE L.

“Missoni is a knowledgeable and skilled instructor. She is knowledgeable about the benefits of Pilates and pays close attention to details of alignment and form to ensure you get a challenging, rewarding, and safe workout at every session. She is very patient and works with your individual physical restrictions to maximize the benefits of Pilates. I highly recommend Missoni for a unique Pilates experience!”

— Linda M.

“I’ve practiced Pilates with Missoni for about 1 year on a weekly basis. Missoni is a true professional, always working too create a safe and creative practice for me to improve my core strength and agility. I appreciate her ability to bring new ideas and diverse routines to our workout, and targets areas where I need the most improvement based on my current goals. She’s very attuned to my physical limits, knowing where to push me further and when to guard against injury.”

— Jeff F.

“Missoni is a very gifted teacher. She has in-depth knowledge of Pilates which I believe to be considerably beyond what she had to learn to become certified. In group instruction, she never fails to recognize each individual’s form and provides encouragement and gentle correction when appropriate. She has an uncanny ability to recall each student’s physical challenges and make modifications as needed. Her cues are very easy to understand and translate into fine tuning one’s form. If a student is still challenged after receiving a verbal cue, Missoni immediately picks up on this and adds précised physical cues using touch. If a group of students are challenges by a new move or having difficulty with a particular move, nothing is more beautiful than watching Missoni demonstrate that move while verbally explaining what she is doing. I think all of her students aspire to mimic her form and strength. I have taken group classes with at least four or five other instructors, but I always prefer Missoni’s instruction because it is simply impossible to ever become bored or unmotivated while she is teaching. I believe her creativity as a musician/songwriter/artist spills over into her Pilates instruction as no two classes are ever the same. In addition to her unquestionable teaching ability, Missoni is a stellar individual. She treats each and every student with respect and warmth, and relates well to all students who range in age from young to “active adults;” men and women; and people with many different levels of fitness. She has a quirky sense of humor which always adds an element of fun to even the most intense workout. She is bright, caring and personable. I can recommend her without hesitation.”

“Missoni is everything you want in a Pilates instructor. She pays close attention to your body which for me is very important having arthritis. Before a class she remembers everyone's needs for their bodies. Class is always fun, but it is also a great challenge and I say that in a good way. Missoni is a kind, compassionate and very intelligent person. She is also very strong! Highly recommend!”
