Meet Jesania — Founder, Visionary, and Movement Guide

Hi friends — I’m Jesania.

I’m the founder of Petaluma Pilates, and I’ve spent nearly two decades exploring all kinds of movement, learning how our bodies grow stronger, more resilient, and more connected, inside and out. Along the way, I’ve discovered one truth again and again: movement is transformation. It reflects who we are, what we carry, and who we’re becoming.

My approach blends athletic energy with mindful intention, creating classes that feel elevated, accessible, and deeply supportive. You don’t have to prepare or perfect anything, just arrive as you are. As a mother, entrepreneur, and proud Latina, I know how movement helps us reclaim our energy and rewrite our stories. My greatest joy is cultivating a community where every body feels seen, welcomed, and celebrated, a space where you can move, breathe, and belong.

At Petaluma Pilates, movement is a way of reconnecting to your strength, your breath, and the people around you.

Each class is designed to help you feel grounded and uplifted, blending modern movement practices with gentle, timeless principles of balance and flow. Backed by years of education and a genuine love for teaching, every session is guided with intention and compassion. And woven through it all is community, a place where you’re seen, supported, and welcomed exactly as you are. Here, movement becomes less about perfection and more about the joy of returning home to yourself.
