Welcome to Hummingbird Pilates, Beverly Hills!

We are a fully equipped classical Pilates studio offering mat classes, privates and semi-private lessons in Beverly Hills, California. Founded in 2013 by Pilates instructor, Abey Scaglione, Hummingbird Pilates honors the legacy of the method, created nearly a century ago by Joseph Pilates. Its founding principles are based on the idea that one can truly transform the body through dedicated and rigorous practice. So, whether working on the mat, the Reformer, or the Cadillac, our Pilates instructors guide you through challenging workouts that tighten the core, improve strength and flexibility, and, of course, make you look and feel great. We believe that the best results come from working with the highest quality equipment, which is why we are proud to use Gratz, the original Pilates equipment manufacturer.

At Hummingbird Pilates, Beverly Hills, we believe that Pilates is more than just a workout. Not only does Pilates tone and sculpt the body in noticeable ways, it also helps you to age gracefully, strengthening and stretching the muscles, while rejuvenating your entire system. It helps prevent injuries by enhancing the body’s balance and posture. And because Pilates is not hard on the body, but eases you into stronger and more secure positions, it is one of the few exercise regimens that you can begin at a young age and continue well into your mature years.

Ultimately, Pilates helps to empower the body, which in turn leads to greater self-confidence and an overall higher quality of life. We hope you’ll come into the studio and find out for yourself just how life-changing Pilates can be!

Pilates is a method of physical conditioning that works the entire body, and in the process teaches one to move more efficiently, and therefore, do everything in life with greater ease. Through a system of exercises performed either on a raised mat or various pieces of apparatus, Pilates emphasizes core strength (including the abdominals, back, and gluteal muscles), while improving flexibility, endurance, posture, and overall health.

Each piece of equipment has its own exercise repertoire, designed to enhance movement and achieve greater balance in the body. Whether working on the mat or the equipment, the fundamental concept remains the same: to engage the core muscles and initiate every movement from a place of strength, thereby seamlessly moving from one exercise to the next, with each exercise building on the last to provide an intense workout for the whole body.

Classical Pilates remains true to the vision of its founder and creator, Joseph Pilates, who believed that health and fitness could best be achieved by a comprehensive and integrative approach, one that aligns the body, sharpens the mind, and promotes an overall sense of well-being. To uphold that vision, the classical Pilates Method honors the specific sequences and exercise repertoires, which have endured for nearly a century.
