What is SANO?
SANO is a Pilates, strength, and yoga studio in Newport Beach specializing in private training and small group classes, designed to improve strength, mobility, posture, and overall movement quality.
What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates uses a spring-based machine to provide resistance and support. It helps build strength, improve alignment, and develop core control while remaining low impact and joint-friendly.
I'm new, where should I start?
If you're new, the best place to start is our intro offers. It allows you to experience different classes and get comfortable with the equipment and teaching style.

What types of classes do you offer?
We offer:

Our approach blends these methods to support long-term strength and balance.
What is the difference between private sessions and group classes?
