Movement Matters Collective — Local services in San Diego

I attend Latoya’s Private Pilates sessions and it’s my favorite part of my week. I always preferred weights and HIIT workouts, and some yoga for stretching and flexibility. I had previously thought Pilates was for people who liked stretching and didn’t want to sweat or work too hard. I was very pleasantly mistaken lol. After my first evaluation session I loved it.

Through Latoya’s knowledgeable explanations and in-tune guidance I learned how to connect better with my body for an elevated awareness. Understanding how focused and intentional movements impact my muscles, tendons & ligaments, joints, I love all that kind of info. Pilates is great on its own, and for me it adds some variety, and fills the gaps of weights and HIIT. I think it’s the perfect combination of body weight exercise and flexibility. A great, safe workout for everyone.

It’s also been eye opening how beneficial it is to everyday movement and function, and my mind/body/spirit connection. Latoya’s passion and positive energy shines thru her instruction and dialog. I recommend anyone who wants to strengthen their body and awareness in an open, airy and laidback vibe to go enjoy a session or class at her Movement Matters Collective studio....

Movement Matters brought a 15-minute wellness break to our Annual Gathering, and it was exactly what our community needed. Latoya has such a beautiful energy that welcomes everyone, no matter your fitness level. She holds space in a way that is joyful, affirming, and deeply rooted in care. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and within minutes she had folks moving, breathing, and reconnecting with ourselves and each other! The session was short but powerful, offering a moment of restoration in the middle of a full day of learning and mobilizing. If anything, we wished it could have gone longer! We are so grateful for Latoya and Movement Matters. her presence brings not just movement, but healing, joy, and a reminder of how wellness is a vital part of building resilient, justice-centered communities. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to integrate care and connection into their...

Coming to Movement Matters and doing Pilates with LaToya has been such a great escape in my week. Pilates demands your full attention and focus so it allows you to drop into your present state of being, which I often need as a reminder. LaToya works at such a great place for beginners. I've always wanted slower more focus movements in my workouts so I'm so glad I found this studio! Not to mention the community is such a vibe! The owners constantly invest into new and inclusive equipment and take special care and detail you get the workout you came for. I definitely recommend if you're a newbie, advanced or you just need community in your movement! Movement Matters has something...
