Meet Shayna, founder of Pilates of Coronado. Born and raised in Southern California, Shayna started her athletic career at just 9 years old, first as a competitive gymnast, then an NCAA Platform Diver at the University of Arizona. Years of training came with years of injuries: a bulging C5 disc, fractured L5 vertebrae, stress fractures, ankle injuries, and more.
After college, when the physical toll of years of elite athletics finally caught up with her, she discovered the power of Pilates. "It became my anchor- helping me heal, rebuild strength, and move with confidence through each chapter of my life as an athlete, a wife, and a mother of two."
She has now been teaching Pilates for 14 years and has had the privilege of helping others manage chronic pain, recover from injuries, and reconnect with their bodies in ways that feel empowering and sustainable. "Since moving to Coronado 14 years ago it has been my dream to build my vision of a true, traditional Pilates studio. After years of planning, I’m excited to bring this vision to life!"
Opening Pilates of Coronado is her way of giving back to a community that already feels like family. "My kids go to school here, we’ve built our lives here, and I’m deeply committed to serving this island for the long run. This studio isn’t just a business, t’s a space built with intention, heart, and the belief that movement can truly change lives."
Here’s to moving with purpose and growing stronger together, Coronado.
