Movement specialists
Dr. June Chiang Jeffreys
A Los Angeles native, June grew up studying the sciences and loving the movement arts. She completed the rigorous children and adult Royal Academy of Dance ballet curriculum. An ankle injury in 1995, led her to Pilates and GYROTONIC(r) for rehabilitation. Transformation ensued. She discovered a new way of moving with healthy muscle and biomechanical patterns. With a new appreciation for the mind body connection, Pilates and GYROTONIC(r) became her passion!
Following her heart and intuition, June shifted her focus away from neuro-optometry and became a certified contemporary Pilates and GYROTONIC(r) instructor in 2000 at Long Beach Dance Conditioning. Later, she integrated classical Pilates and Yamuna Body Rolling into her instruction.
She has had the honor of studying with several master instructors including: Jillian Hessel, Juliu Horvath, Yamuna, Monica Bumatay, Donna Place, Mary Bond, Juergen Baumberger, Hilary Carwright, Christina Brunk Stroh, Uwe Herbstreit, Marie Jose Blom, Kathy Van Patten and more.
She loves hiking and adventuring in the Eastern Sierras with her husband.
Forever evolving and learning she continually offers new motivating experiences for her clients.
Salma
Salma's love for health and wellness started over 10 years ago, thanks to her passion for sports in school. Since then, she has discovered that focusing on both body and mind is one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself.
When she found Pilates, it was love at first movement! The way it blends strength, flexibility, and mindfulness transformed the way she moves and thinks. Pilates has truly been a game-changer and she can't wait to share its benefits with her clients!
When she isn't teaching; you can usually find her at home practicing piano or singing -- two of her favorite hobbies that allow her to unwind and express herself.
Meryl
Born and raised in West LA. Meryl is an experienced fitness instructor and BASI Pilates instructor with a creative spirit that shines through everything she does. Her past lives as a photographer, artist agent, and project manager shaped the precise approach she now brings to Pilates, as well as her love for keeping people energized and engaged.
Meryl believes that movement is more than exercise, it's a powerful tool for empowerment and rehabilitation. Her teaching style balances serious attention to form and alignment with a playful, light-hearted energy that makes every class feel welcoming and fun. She loves creating an environment where students feel safe to explore, laugh, and build confidence.
When she's not teaching, you'll find Meryl searching for the best coffee and vegan baked goods in LA and exploring parks and beaches with her husband and their rescue Pomeranian, Nico. She's also learning Farsi, mostly so she can gossip with her in-laws.
