Hello and Welcome,

Thank-you for stopping by my small corner of the internet, my name is "Isabella" Melissa Wagner. As a San Diego native, I have always had a passion for a natural and active lifestyle. It began as a young girl, when I had the unique opportunity to visit and tour the home of Indra Devi. I was completely mesmerized by The Indra Devi Foundation in Tecate, B.C. MEX., where I was introduced to Yoga and a yogi mindset.  Soon after I  began my Yoga practice both on and off the mat.  Pilates and Yoga are an integrate part of my family's lifestyle!  My personal Pilates practice has made me feel healthier, stronger, happier and more confident then ever before.  Pilates allowed me to heal my body through movement and get back into my First love Yoga.

In 2009, due to some horse related injuries'  and an significant increase in weight (over 200lbs for my small frame), my Dr recommended I try Pilates. My obsession for Pilates was born! Soon after I become a 600hr comprehensively certified Pilates Instructor. I have completed multiple certifications, extensive mentorships in both Classical and Contemporary Pilates.  I am constantly attending continuing education and collaborative workshops to bring the best to you. I hold many other certifications such as Barre and Yoga to name a few. 

My Dream of creating my own version of The Indra Devi Foundation, was the catalyst and heart behind Pilates By Isabella. I wanted to create a happy place where I could share my passion for Pilates and Yoga with my community of Ramona, CA.,  The studio had to be special, it needed to be a fun,  welcoming, inclusive and body positive. It could not be a place that was pushing weight loss, promoting a specific body type, or uptight.  

My commitment to you is to hire instructors that are certified by an accredited training Program, share my vision, and are committed to create a community of like-minded individuals ready to support and cheer for one another. 

 Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions. Feel free to follow Pilates By Isabella on Instagram  or join our email list. Hope to see you soon.

In Gratitude,

"Isabella" Melissa W.
