STRENGTHEN. STRETCH.
RESTORE.
Helping you reconnect with your body through functional, therapeutic Pilates — movement that meets you where you are and helps you feel your best, every day.
Where Movement Meets Mindfulness
The Studio That Puts You at the Center
At Centered Studio Pilates in San Leandro, California, we believe movement should feel good — not forced, boring, or one-size-fits-all.
Our studio offers a personalized, intentional approach to Pilates in an engaging, supportive setting where every client receives the attention they deserve. We specialize in functional, therapeutic movement — the kind that helps you build strength, flexibility, improve posture, and move through daily life with ease.
You won’t find blaring music, crowded classes, or an impersonal gym-like atmosphere here. Instead, you’ll find an experienced team of certified teachers who take the time to understand your goals, your body, and your comfort level. Each session is designed around you — whether you’re easing pain, rebuilding confidence, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more connected to your body.
New Here? Start Here.
We know starting something new can feel intimidating — especially if you’re dealing with pain or haven’t exercised in a while. That’s why we’ve made it simple and supportive to begin
Step 1: Book a Free Consultation
Let’s talk about your goals, your history, and what’s been holding you back so we can create a plan that feels doable and right for you.
Step 2: Begin with a Private Session
Start one-on-one with an experienced Teacher who will tailor your introductory session to your body, abilities, and goals.
Step 3: Choose Your Ongoing Path
Stay with Private Sessions or transition into small Group Classes when you’re ready — you’ll always have support, guidance, and community here.
Find Your Flow — Private Sessions or Group Classes
At Centered Studio Pilates, we meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re new to movement, returning after injury, complimenting another exercise routine, or simply ready to deepen your practice.
Every session is guided by highly trained Teachers who prioritize mindful movement, effective alignment, and progress that feels good in your body.
Private Sessions
Your journey begins with personalized, one-on-one instruction.
In these sessions, we focus on your specific goals, needs, and movement patterns so you can build strength, mobility, and confidence at your own pace as you learn the Pilates method.
Each session is designed with care — helping you move more efficiently, reduce pain, and rediscover what it feels like to move with ease.
Group Classes
When you’re ready and your Teacher clears you for Groups, our small Group Classes offer a fun, motivating way to continue your Pilates practice alongside others in our supportive community.
You’ll still receive personalized attention, thoughtful instruction, and the same emphasis on form and function — just with the shared positive energy of the group experience.

Movement is medicine for your body and soul.
We just make it feel like joy.
Hey there, I'm Marylinn!
Owner & Expert Pilates Teacher
When I discovered Pilates, it completely changed my relationship with movement — and my life. After years of back pain and burnout from the pressures of striving for perfection, Pilates helped me heal, regain confidence, and reconnect with my body.
That experience inspired me to open Centered Studio Pilates in 2013 — a space where others could find the same balance, strength, and self-trust I discovered on the mat.

Pilates Student
After only a few weeks, my strength and flexibility improved markedly and my whole body felt better. Since starting at Centered Studio Pilates, I have had 2 knee replacement surgeries. Because I had been practicing Pilates prior to the surgeries and throughout the recovery process, my body had the strength and stamina to heal quickly and completely. It has been truly amazing! All of the instructors are knowledgeable and skilled at working with any body issue and tailor each session to your personal needs and goals.
