I have been taking private lessons with Bianca twice a week for ten months now. She is very knowledgeable in Pilates, specifically classical, true to Joseph Pilates methods. I have seen great results and improved so much and gained so much strength since starting with her. I have been passionate about Pilates for 25+ years and had taken orivates at another local studio and had a horrible experience there. I also tried a couple other instructors before settling on The Art of Pilates after the bad experience and wasting over $1500 at the other studio. Bianca is the BEST!!! She is kind and compassionate as well! She doesn't use harsh chemicals or fragrances in her studio either. It's very clean and all her equipment is classical as well. You'll LOVE it here!!!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Bianca and her Art of Pilates studio. I am brand new to Pilates and Bianca’s classical training is the perfect fit for me. She is a fantastic teacher— full of knowledge and enthusiasm and is attentive, supportive and encouraging throughout our hour long sessions. Her studio space is calm, bright and clean. She makes communication and scheduling quick and easy. My Pilates sessions with Bianca have become one of the favorite parts of my week!

I started Pilates with Bianca in January 2025, and since then I’ve looked forward to my sessions every single week. She’s truly incredible—motivating, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy. I always leave feeling stronger, more confident, and completely refreshed. It’s clear she puts her heart and soul into her work, and her passion shines through in every class. I’m so grateful to have found her!

Bianca’s depth of embodiment with classical Pilates is a blessing to whoever chooses to work with her. Her subtle and sophisticated attunement to the person she’s working with makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. It will guide you back into your body. Mind body connection is Bianca’s zone of genius and she’s here to remind you it’s available to you as well. Everyone deserves to live in a healthy and happy body. This is more than exercise…it’s homecoming to the body which you will walk out the door with and never be the same.

As an Ironman athlete and someone who was world-ranked for my age group just a few years ago (2nd in the US, 5th in the world), I never imagined I'd be sidelined by severe pain and muscle imbalances. I was dealing with extreme lower back pain and neck pain so intense that I couldn't even turn my head to the left, which made cycling unbearable. On top of that, I had no function in my toes ( couldn't wiggle them) and my right ankle would twist outward whenever I ran; which seem strange to me.My mile times use to be in the low 5-minute miles and was now in the mid-6’s— which was a major red flag that something was wrong.

I had tried yoga for flexibility, but it didn’t address the deeper issues.... Thankfully, my girlfriend suggested Pilates, and that’s when things turned around. I started working with Bianca, who was able to pinpoint the root of my problems: bad sciatica and a weak core. Through targeted exercises, she helped me rebuild my strength. I’m now back to training every day, pain-free with constant management, and I owe it to Pilates.

I found Bianca when I was looking for local pilates studios. I began following her social posts and I found through following her posts and training with her that Bianca is very knowledgeable on anatomy and physiology and how pilates can help people live a better quality of life. Her teaching is high quality and her studio is a pleasant, clean space.

Bianca is an all star teacher ! Romana trained classical Pilates teachers do such extensive training and using Gratz equipment changes your body so fast. I trained with her in Santa Barbara and miss our sessions together, get in with her while you can !

The Malibu star/best instructor in Los Angeles (the Mecca of Pilates) has relocated to Sarasota!!!

I feel so lucky to be under the care of this expert of classical Pilates.

A pregnancy in my late 40’s ravaged my core, pushed out my abdominals, and left me feeling weak. By the time my daughter was four, the situation created a cascade of damage all over—ankles, knees, and shoulders. Everything hurt. Couldn’t handle any workouts. No amount of massage, acupuncture, cupping, etc helped permanently. I tried it all because I was desperate to keep up with my little one. After the very first session with Bianca, things started to improve. It felt like a miracle.

Now at 53, I feel strong, flexible, and pain-free. I can workout however I want. And, most importantly… I can run around and play with my wild and wonderful 5-year-old!!

Thank you Bianca (for moving here)!!!

I don't usually leave reviews, but this has been by far my best pilates experience and it deserves special recognition. Bianca is a world class expert instructor----- so knowledgeable, caring and patient-- and I feel so lucky to have her here locally--amazing! Also.. I love that I don't have to skip any of my classes when I'm out of town-- I get online classes with her when I'm out of town and the classes are so good that my friends from NY and Connecticut saw me doing them and now those friends are hooked on private online classes with Bianca.. she's literally the best! Pilates has transformed my life in general ----and yes I have also gotten into the best shape of my life because of it---- and I just feel like I want to shout out loud to the world my transformative experience through treating myself to such an important and life-changing low-impact activity that's safe for my body, and nourishes my mind and spirit. No more aches and pains, no more scary health issues and no more sad feelings.. just a happy gal who wants you to know you can stop your search and go see Bianca at 'the art of pilates'!

Bianca was my Pilates instructor during my pregnancy back in Los Angeles. I always looked forward to my sessions with her since my body felt much better after training Pilates. Aside, she is a very experienced instructor and I felt safe to have her guide my body in doing the exercises that would be suitable for me and my baby. I 100% recommend her!

I have been doing pilates with Bianca for 2 years. She is the most amazing instructor ever. She is the best of the best...I started with a bad swayback and she has helped me completely redo my body - she has a lot of years of experience and is the local “teacher’s teacher” - You can’t get better than that!

I have had the pleasure of working with Bianca for the past eight years. Her attention to detail and the way she motivates me to do my best - even if I'm not in the mood - makes her a stand-out teacher. I leave every session feeling energized and on top of my game. Thank you Bianca. Forever grateful!

I have been doing pilates for over 20 years and have had the benefit of working with Bianca for 10 years. Bianca is an exceptional instructor. She is present, focused and intricately aware of your body and what you personally need every session. She is knowledgeable and consistently varies the workout and simultaneously is committed to the classical pilates methodology. When I had repair surgery on my knee or suffered from other injuries, she accommodated my limitations and supported the healing process. The studio has all the apparatus that I have not always found in a pilates studio and Bianca's sessions integrates all the equipment to give you a full body workout. I am always recommending her to anyone I know who is interested in pilates.
