Nephesh Pilates is more than exercises and routines; It’s a method of movement that gives you the life you deserve.
Hi there, I’m Elisha.
Owner of Nephesh Pilates Studio in East Sacramento.
I know you want to live a life you love, but to do that, you need your body to be on board. And when your body holds you back from doing the things you love, it’s disheartening. It literally hurts.
But I know your body was designed to move in a way that can give you that life you’ve always wanted. You don’t have to accept the aches and pains as “just part of getting older”. You deserve to love how your body looks, feels, and moves -- no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Our MEMBERS love our team.
Elisha Grow
Studio Owner
After Pilates brought Elisha back to life after two kids and an office job, she decided to make it a career to help anybody she could get her hands on, rediscover their bodies and regain control of their lives. In her spare time, Elisha loves cooking for her hungry family, playing (and winning) board games, and taking long walks along the American River near her home.
SELAM MELAKU
Member Services
Selam enjoys being part of the transformational journey that Nephesh Pilates members take, helping them every step along the way. She’s your first stop when it comes to any pressing membership questions or just to welcome you with a warm “hello” as you come through the door. You can catch Selam snuggled up with a good book, hiking the foothills outside Sacramento, or baking up a mean batch of garlic knots in the kitchen.
Julie Lanocha
Julie believes that we can all age gracefully, with good health, using movement as a path to wellness. She sees herself as a guide for students on this journey. Julie loves to ride her horse Ace and walk her dog Theo along the American River Parkway. She’s also an avid reader and writer.
Mari Minamide
Mari teaches for the joy of students finding themselves within their bodies. Finding the flow of the movement, the release of the stress from their day and the focus within themselves. She will gladly wait in line all day with her pup Kami for a Ginger Elizabeth ice cream sandwich or cup of hot chocolate.
Your body is worth it.
Hundreds of our students feel more confident, energized, and strong.
“Nephesh Pilates has changed my body and life for the better! The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable. And the studio atmosphere is very comfortable, safe and supportive. Every time I go, I feel better.”
“After having a baby, exercise can be a little scary. My body didn’t feel the same with atrophied muscles and lots of pain. What I’ve gained at Nephesh Pilates is the self-care [and movement] I need as a new mom.”
“Nephesh Pilates has helped me to feel fulfilled and love the body that I live in. I’ve been doing Pilates at Nephesh for the past 5 years, which has tremendously improved my strength, core stability and balance. Thank you!”
We can help you get results and live the life you want.
