25+ Years of Classical Pilates | Direct Romana Kryzanowska Lineage | Dance Medicine Certified | Home of BodyStrategies™
Core Arts Pilates is one of Southern California’s most respected classical Pilates and GYROTONIC® studios. Founded in 2005 by Sharmila Mitra — certified directly under the late Romana Kryzanowska, a protégé of Joseph Pilates — the studio has spent over two decades building something the fitness industry rarely offers: movement instruction grounded in genuine lineage, deep expertise, and an unwavering commitment to the individual.
We serve clients from Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, Placentia, Orange, Tustin, and throughout Orange County. Online sessions via Zoom are available for clients beyond our immediate area.
WHAT WE OFFER
Classical Pilates
The original method. Taught in its classical sequence, on the full apparatus — Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Chair, Ladder Barrel, and Spine Corrector — by instructors trained in the traditional apprenticeship model. Private and semi-private sessions available for all levels.
GYROTONIC®
A flowing, three-dimensional movement method that works the body through spiraling, wave-like patterns. Exceptional for joint mobility, spinal health, coordination, and the kind of fluid movement quality that no other modality quite replicates. Particularly valued by dancers and athletes. Private sessions available.
BodyStrategies™ for Dancers
A proprietary dance conditioning methodology developed by Sharmila Mitra — exclusive to Core Arts. Integrates classical Pilates with the latest innovations in dance medicine to optimize a dancer’s athleticism: strength, balance, resilience, and embodied movement intelligence. A year-round program unlike anything else in Orange County.
Pilates Instructor Certification
A 600-hour classical Pilates instructor certification program modeled after the apprenticeship tradition of Romana Kryzanowska. Available in-person in Orange County and online. Graduates are 3rd generation classical Pilates instructors.
FOUNDED ON LINEAGE. BUILT ON EXPERTISE.
Sharmila Mitra is the founder and principal instructor of Core Arts Pilates — and one of a small number of instructors in California who trained directly under the late Romana Kryzanowska in New York. She holds a Certificate in Dance Medicine from Westside Dance Physical Therapy (the clinic that oversees the New York City Ballet), GYROTONIC® certification, and a Master of Arts in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She is the creator of BodyStrategies™ for Dancers and the author of The Power of Intention for Dancers.
WHO TRAINS AT CORE ARTS
Our clients are as varied as movement itself. Competitive dancers and pre-professional students seeking intelligent cross-training. Athletes looking for the kind of deep core conditioning that changes performance. Adults who want to move with more precision, strength, and ease as they age. People returning to their bodies after injury, illness, or time away. And high performers of every kind who understand that the body is an instrument worth developing with care.
What they share is a desire for something more than a fitness class — and a willingness to invest in their body the way serious people invest in anything that matters.
We serve clients in Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, Placentia, Orange, Tustin, and throughout Orange County. Online sessions available worldwide.
