Classical Pilates Near Yorba Linda, CA

Core Arts Pilates is just minutes from Yorba Linda in Anaheim Hills, close enough to feel like your neighborhood studio, with the depth of expertise you’d expect from one of Southern California’s most respected classical Pilates practices.

Founded by Sharmila Mitra, a direct lineage instructor under the late Romana Kryzanowska (a protégé of Joseph Pilates himself), Core Arts offers something genuinely different from the group fitness studios and reformer chains that have become common throughout Orange County. Every session is personalized. Every instructor is classically trained. And the method we teach has a 90-year track record that speaks for itself.

What We Offer

Classical Pilates — Private & Semi-Private Sessions

One-on-one and duet sessions using the full classical apparatus: Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Chair and Barrels. Private sessions are where the real work happens, whether you're new to Pilates, returning after time away, or looking to take your practice deeper. Your instructor designs every session around you.

GYROTONIC

A specialized movement method using custom equipment to guide the body through flowing, circular, and spiraling patterns. Especially popular with dancers, athletes, and anyone dealing with joint stiffness or limited range of motion. Available as private sessions at Core Arts.

BodyStrategies™ for Dancers

If you or your dancer trains in Yorba Linda, at a local studio, competition team, or school program, BodyStrategies™ is a conditioning methodology developed specifically for dancers. It integrates classical Pilates with dance medicine innovations to build the strength, balance, and resilience that dance training alone doesn't always address.

Coaching with Grace

Performance coaching for dancers and high performers, led by Sharmila Mitra. For dancers who want to work not just on the physical, but on the mental and emotional dimensions of performing well: confidence, focus, pressure management, and identity as a performer. Available as 1:1 coaching packages.

Online Sessions via Zoom

Core Arts has offered live online Pilates sessions since 2013. Available for private and semi-private instruction, with the same quality of teaching you'd receive in the studio.

Why Yorba Linda Clients Choose Core Arts

Yorba Linda is home to a strong community of dancers, athletes, and health-conscious families. Core Arts was built for exactly this clientele. Our studio is a short drive along the 91 or La Palma Avenue, and clients from Yorba Linda have been training with us for years.

What keeps them coming back isn't proximity. It's the quality of instruction. Sharmila holds credentials in classical Pilates (trained directly under Romana Kryzanowska), dance medicine (Westside Dance Physical Therapy in New York, the same clinic that oversees the New York City Ballet), and GYROTONIC. Her team is trained to the same standard. This level of expertise isn't available at a fitness chain.

How to Get Started

All new clients begin with a personalized 1-on-1 assessment. A chance to talk through your goals, your movement history, and what you're looking for from your Pilates practice. From there, your instructor designs a program tailored specifically to you.
