Recharge Your Mind, Body and Soul. At Del Mar Surf Camp, we have realized how much Pilates and Surfing are a true complement to each other – through the series of core and total body flow and fitness. For all the Pilates enthusiasts out there, we have put this retreat together as a way to enjoy Pilates in a different area, in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world – Santa Teresa.
Join us in a daily Pilates Mat class and a daily Semi-Private class with a Pilates Reformer and Cadillac! The entire experience is about discovering Pilates for you in different environments, especially the Ocean and Pilates helps to prepare you for this. And, if you know how to surf, you already perform many Pilates maneuvers without the realization that you do!

She immediately gravitated towards the method after experiencing firsthand a discipline that promotes balance and alignment as well as strength. She became certified through Body Arts & Science International (BASI), studying directly under Rael Iscawitz. More than 9 years of training clients has given her the experience to restore & re-define the human body. With a deep reverence & passion for the art of teaching and for the practice of Pilates, Jenny strives to continually enhance her skills as a teacher and practitioner of the Pilates Method. She teaches with determination and precision. When she pauses within the flow, expect to feel your body pulsating as you catch your breath and get ready for the next transition deeper into the work. Her classes are sure to challenge your body and mind to the fullest degree. Jenny is an expert motivator inspiring her clients to nurture respect for their body and mind while overcoming perceived limitations.

More about Pilates
Pilates: Through core strengthening, torso stabilization, along with the six principles of the Pilates method: centering, control, flow, breath, precisioin, and concentration, this exercise method sets itself apart from many other types of exercise. You will feel rejuvenated, not fatigued. Your body will be developed more uniformly, wrong postures are corrected and balance is improved. Your body will feel freed from nervous tension. The results are truly amazing!
Pilates is a sequence of exercises developed and practiced to simultaneously stretch and lengthen, strengthen, tone and align the body while increasing body awareness. Pilates on the equipment uses a combination of springs and pulleys along with gravity to provide resistance for strengthening the body and encouraging core stability.
Pilates is for any level of fitness. No matter your age, past injuries, lifestyle, you can participate in Pilates exercises to strengthen and tone your body. Modifications and alternates in the practice can accommodate any personal limitations in ability and experience. But perhaps most importantly, it is the mind/body connection that makes Pilates a unique experience.
Pilates can help with all aspects of your well being, in and out of the studio. As a student of Pilates, you strive for an in-depth perspective to your movement with non-judgmental awareness of your reaction to stress and emotional relativity and impulsivity. This awareness can be applied to activities in your day-to-day life. Pilates can teach you healthy ways to respond to life’s challenges with more balance and inner composure.
Pilates is a practice that will enrich your life mentally, physically and spiritually.
