Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (Formerly known as PMA®-CPT)
Polestar Pilates® Graduated
TRX® & Balanced Body MOTR® Trained
Pilathon Education Mentor
Reiki Master Teacher
ThetaHealing® Practitioner
Born and raised in Dominican Republic. Formally trained as a Dentist, Juan quickly discovered that his true passion stretches between being active and helping others find balance in their own lives through movements and The Universal Life Energy (REIKI).
In 2010, Juan endured his first Pilates class and grew fascinated and yet amazed on how much impact Pilates had on his daily life. In less than 10 classes he was feeling fit, centered and for the first time he felt his body and mind synchronized.
Juan believes in sharing positive life experiences with others, and to that end he decided to pursue his Pilates Certification at Polestar Physical Therapy and Pilates Center, Miami. Through an abundance of collective knowledge Juan developed his own technique and crafted a unique style that encompasses a bio-mechanical and scientific study of structure and function, hence the essence of Pilates Gaia.
Forever inspired by Joe Pilates words and wisdom: “NOT MIND OR BODY BUT MIND AND BODY!”

Monica has always had a passion for movement and exercise. She has been actively working out her entire life. She decided to leave the rat race of the corporate world and started Pilates classes and just fell in love with it! She quickly found that Pilates was the perfect combination to strengthen, tone, and stretch for her body as well as to focus her mind.

Her goal for each class is that you leave feeling leaner and stronger with a positive and joyful attitude about yourself that you carry with you for the rest of your day. She reminds us of one of many Joseph Pilates inspiring quotes, “everyone is the architect of their own happiness.”

Teacher:
Luana Domingues
Certified Pilates Teacher
I am Luana Domingues, originally from Brasil, but I have been living in Miami for over 10 years. I got my degree as a physical therapist in Brasil and was introduced to Pilates when I was in university in 2011. Since then, I have worked in several studios and specialized in chronic low back pain, lower extremity pathologies, and OW. My passion is to help others even better if I can do that through movement. My classes are focused on mobility, alignment, and progressions so people can have a good experience with movement and maybe get as addicted as I am.

It is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being
How does Reiki work?
The spiritual healing art of Reiki works by channeling positive energy into your body, with Reiki practitioners typically placing their hands on the affected areas of the body that need a boost, offering this energy and your body takes in the energy where most needed.
Sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes.
Single sessions start @ $100
It is a meditation technique and spiritual philosophy – not specific to one religion but accepting them all – with the purpose of getting closer to the Creator. It is a training method for your mind, body and spirit that allows you to clear limiting beliefs and live life with positive thoughts, developing virtues in all that we do. Through meditation and prayer, the ThetaHealing technique creates a positive lifestyle.
How does ThetaHealing work?
ThetaHealing technique is designed to change the subconscious mind while in a meditation state. It can also be used to address any physical/health conditions, mindset, abundance, manifesting, money and relationships: basically any area of your life where you are not experiencing what you desire.
Sessions are 60 minutes.
Single sessions start @ $120
