Rochelle Gingras

Rochelle is an absolutely outstanding bodyworker. She is pleasant, professional and competent. Her environment is clean, well-maintained and relaxing. I cannot recommend her or her facility highly enough.

Rochelle is an excellent Pilates instructor, I highly recommend Joy of movement in Aptos. Rochelle is highly knowledgeable in modifications to exercises to include all body types and abilities.

Unlike other Pilates studios Rochelle’s classes reflect her imagination and creativity. She gives very clear, concise directions in a gentle voice. You’ll always enjoy a class with her!

I have been going to Joy of Movement for more than ten years. Rochelle is a wonderful instructor and masseuse who is always continuing her education in both areas. She has helped me through injuries and illness. She's a great resource to our community.

Joy of Movement is a great studio. Rochelle is a terrific Pilates and Gyrotonic teacher. I’ve been taking classes here for over 10 years even though it’s a trek from the westside of Santa Cruz. Rochelle is wise about bodies and a wonderful human being. I can’t say enough to praise the studio. Go try it out!

Joy of Movement Pilates studio is AMAZING! Rochelle, the owner, is truly an incredibly skilled, caring and overall body knowledgable person whose focus on helping people is a specialized skill that is hard to find! She is such a joyful person, my husband and I go weekly and have loved our progress and overall experience with Pilates and Gyrotonics. I HIGHLY recommend Rochelle and her Joy of Moveme
