Align Pilates and Wellness Studio reopens in Ramona with new look

In the heart of Ramona is a space where you can connect with mindful movements and find a rejuvenating space for all fitness levels.

Align Pilates and Wellness celebrated their re-grand opening in a new location after five weeks of renovations. Now at 1077 Main St., across from the 7-Eleven, the studio reopened its doors to welcome community members, returning students and fitness enthusiasts from around town.

Owner and instructor Alexa Kanj, who has been in business for eight years, shared her excitement about the new transformed space while welcoming familiar faces and new visitors.

“Our space is designed to feel like a peaceful retreat, it’s bright and airy, infused with tropical, earthy tones that ground and center our clients.” Kanj said.

The celebration featured raffle prizes, sweet treats, mini-charcuterie cups and an opportunity for new clients to experience the world of Pilates.

Kanj is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, with a degree in kinesiology and minor in Pilates. She and her staff offer a variety of Pilates classes, including Pilates Foundations, Athletic Pilates, Cardio Core, Pre/Postnatal Core and Restore, and Reformer Restore with Sound Bath.

With the added space comes new classes, including Yoga, Barre Sculpt and Sound Bath Meditations. The studio now features six reformers, with room to add two more, a dedicated area for barre and yoga, and a treatment room offering esthetic services and massage therapy.

“Pilates is for everybody and every stage of life.” Kanj said. “It’s a low-impact, full body workout that builds core strength, improves posture, increases flexibility and supports overall wellness.”

The studio offers a new client special where students can try three classes for $30. There are a variety of class packages and monthly memberships available.

Zaryn Zehr has been practicing Pilates for almost a year with the studio and has been attending the Pre/Postnatal Core and Restore classes throughout her pregnancy.

“Pilates has helped me with breathing techniques and mental focus throughout my pregnancy,” she said.

Kanj expressed gratitude for the community’s continued support.

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you to our amazing community for supporting my small business. Your dedication, energy and trust have helped us grow into more than just a studio — we’ve become a space for strength, wellness and connection. Here’s to continuing the journey together,” she said.  

Longtime client Antoinette Thompson was happy with the new location and refreshed look.

“From the moment you walk in, it feels as though you have been transported to a tranquil Pilates retreat. I never imagined I could love Pilates more but, Alexa has truly created a serene haven,” Thompson said.
