Our Story
The Story Behind Bowa
During a brief stint in San Francisco, I serendipitously discovered a Pilates studio down the street from my apartment. After one lesson I was hooked! My body moved in ways I never knew possible. From head to toe, Pilates cultivated a feeling of deep strength.
In 2015 I began my formal training with Rael Isacowitz and the following year I completed my 800 hour comprehensive certification and never looked back. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of deepening my practice under the guidance of esteemed teachers Chris Robinson and Mariano Dolagaray—both certified by Romana Kryzanowska, a direct student of Joseph Pilates. Today, I continue my studies and training under Mariano Dolagary.
I’m committed to honoring the Authentic Pilates Method while supporting your growth and personal evolution—both on and off the mat. Through intentional movement and ongoing exploration, I’ll guide you in building a body of work that’s resilient, connected, and uniquely your own.
Love,
ALANA X
