Elise first discovered Pilates while vacationing at the La Costa Resort and Spa near San Diego. “I had played Soccer as a kid, Rugby in college, and had been lifting weights and doing the Aerobics thing for several years, but I had never felt anything like this.

I don’t think I’d ever felt graceful in my life before trying Pilates.
