Bio

Brandon Alter (they/them) is a true healer at heart, who has been teaching Pilates for over fifteen years. They are certified through Pilates Plus, Ivon Dahl of International Pilates and Wundabar Pilates through Marie-José Blom of Long Beach Dance Conditioning. Other education includes: a 200-hr Yoga Teacher training with White Lotus in Santa Barbara, a BA from University of Southern California, and several advanced trainings with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

During the pandemic, Brandon stepped away from teaching Pilates to devote themselves to their private spiritual healing practice which blends Astrology, Tarot and Shamanism. But with the world opening back, Brandon is excited to be back in the studio helping people remember their bodies as well as their spirits.

Brandon believes that a successful class doesn’t just help students get stronger, it helps them become more present in their bodies and tap into their personal power. Count on Brandon to bring a stellar playlist that will motivate you, and teach a class that is energizing, effective and, most of all, fun.

What brought you to Pilates?

I took my first Pilates class at Pilates Plus in West Hollywood when I was still in college. I was on a reformer next to Nicole Kidman, and I’ve never looked back.

Why do you teach?

Because it’s fun! And I love helping people feel good in their bodies, beautiful, and strong through movement.

Fun fact

My summer high school job was being a performer at Legoland, and I got fired because I brought weed brownies to work.
