Sandra Baeza didn't plan to become a Pilates instructor - she became one because Pilates saved her. After struggling with patellar syndrome that left her unable to move without pain, she discovered Reformer Pilates during recovery. Within months, the pain was gone.
That experience changed everything. Sandra completed a rigorous 450-hour certification at Pilates Sports Center in Encino - one of only a handful of programs approved by the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). She didn't just learn exercises. She learned anatomy, biomechanics, and how the body heals.
In 2019, she opened Butterfly Studios in Santa Clarita with one belief: Pilates should be accessible to every body. Today, her team can safely work with clients most studios turn away - cancer recovery, spinal conditions, prenatal, osteoporosis, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
