Specializing in the GYROTONIC® Method, Stott Pilates & Manual Therapy Pilates Gyrotonic in Claremont

At Blossoming Lotus Studios (formerly Kona Pilates) we are committed to creating a safe, friendly, and serene healing environment where you are able to restore, rejuvenate and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. 

As Massage Therapists and Movement Educators, we seek to create a nurturing environment where the joy of pain-free movement & the expression of creative energies can unfold. We honor the intelligence of the body by integrating intuitive organic movements from the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® method with the mental focus and breathwork from Yoga and Chi Kung, the stability and core strength from Stott Pilates, along with the healing power of touch. 

This synergy of modalities helps us to improve our clients quality of life and bring each client to a space where their mind, body, and spirit are equally cared for.

Why limit yourself (mind body and soul) to just one type of exercise? We have a wealth of experience and expertise to share with you. We are experts in both the GYROTONIC® Method and Contemporary Mindful STOTT Pilates (plus we're both licensed Medical Massage Therapists with over 1,250 hours of massage training alone). We LOVE creating customized sessions featuring both of these amazing systems to create a unique exercise and wellness experience you'll thrive in.

Pilates Gyrotonic in Claremont

We believe true health and vibrancy comes from the harmony of mind, body and spirit, and that exercise is a vehicle for self exploration, healing, wholeness, and joy.  

We believe that exercise is meant to be FUN, educational, inspiring, and life-changing.

We offer:

• private and semi-private instruction in The GYROTONIC® Method and Stott Pilates; 
• small group instruction in The GYROKINESIS® Method and Stott Pilates;
• special workshops;
• Manual Therapy sessions for Pain-Free Results that LAST.

Using the specially designed apparatus, mat or other complementary equipment you’ll learn to control your body through precise stretches and actions, placing an emphasis on smooth, seamless movements without any stress on joints. You’ll soon develop greater poise and control, and a leaner, more resilient body.

Whether you’re recovering from a physical injury, looking for an alternative to traditional gym workouts or an accomplished athlete, sessions with Laura will both challenge you as well as provide rewards you hadn't even thought of with "exercise."

This soon becomes clear to students who end each session with a sense of accomplishment, as well as a deep feeling of serenity and wellbeing.

Put your mind back in touch with your body, and start experiencing what sessions with Laura can do for  YOU!

“The ultimate aim is to be at home in one’s body, experience greater freedom of movement, to feel unrestricted and uninhibited, to be free from pain, to be at one with the nature of oneself, and to experience exercise as a creative and delightful experience.”

​(creator of The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® Method )

Laura (and her husband Steve) lived on the Big Island of Hawaii in Kailua Kona for 25 years. We had one of the most successful studio of it's kind in all of Hawaii (Kona Pilates LLC and GYROTONIC Kona) from 2003 until our move in 2017. 

We've brought our true Hawaiian Spirit of Aloha with us, and we share it with each and every client we work with.

Laura is available for sessions:

• Outcall (I come to you): Manual Therapy. All movement modalities are available if client has their own equipment OR wishes our mat/stool workouts.
• Online (via Skype or Facetime)
• Claremont Sanctuary Pilates in the Claremont Village (Stott Pilates only)
• Additional private location for private sessions in The GYROTONIC Method, Stott Pilates and Manual Therapy (including Laura's popular "Hawaiian Mixed Plate" - a little bit of everything)
