About Be Well Pilates

Be Well Pilates honors all bodies and invites you to honor yours. Through nervous system integrated mindful movement, our goal is to add to your toolkit so that you may live a more embodied existence, feel capable, supple, strong, resilient and closer to whole so that you can move, feel, live and BE WELL.

Be Well Pilates is owned and operated by Santa Barbara native Alexis Pittmon.

Hi, I'm Alexis Pittmon, and my perfect day starts and ends outside. It doesn’t matter where I am, every morning I will find a place to sit with my tea and watch, listen, and transition into the day. This is the first check in of the day , where I greet, meet and attend to myself as I AM. And then, when I move, I really become alive.

To me movement is freedom and discovery intertwined. Moment to moment and movement to movement, working out the sticky stuff in my body often allows me to work through the sticky stuff in my head, to release the physical and mental tensions that bind or hinder me from transforming into the next version of myself.

As a Movement Educator and Nervous System Integration Facilitator I offer a safe space for my students to explore the edges of self-awareness on a physical level, which opens the door to a deeper mind-body connection so that you may live a more embodied existence, feel capable, supple, strong, resilient, and closer to whole. To achieve this I will not only educate you about movement, but also the nervous system. Therefore, along with Pilates-based movement, I integrate specific vagal toning strategies to nourish and befriend your nervous system inside the studio and out, empowering you with artistic license to explore movement and life from the inside out and take ownership over your own wellbeing.

Be Well Pilates sessions are designed specifically to your needs which can be Pilates, nervous system work or an integration of both. I have worked with students in their teenage years through their 90’s, aided in rehabilitation from surgery, joint replacement, fractures and cancer. But it’s not just about getting well or better, it’s about being well, which is why I help my students learn to love, live and be well in their bodies while managing spinal conditions, chronic pain, neurological conditions, osteoporosis, and internal battles I may never be privy to. My work is never the same because the students are never the same. Even day-to-day we shift to a new version of ourselves and I love this about my work; this gets me out of bed and into the car to see you at the studio or through the Zoom screen.
