IMPERIAL – Fitness enthusiasts now have a new boutique studio in the Imperial Valley, with Poise Studio having officially opened its doors at their grand opening celebration this past Friday, June 26.<\/p>\n
Poise Studio offers yoga, pilates, and even pole dancing classes for fitness enthusiasts ages 16 and older. The studio is located at 497 W. Wall Road, Suite C,\u00a0 in Imperial and offers a brand new, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing fitness studio.<\/p>\n
Business owner and 2008 Southwest High School graduate Diana Leon said, \u201cRight now I am opening my own studio for people who want to change and who want to try something new. It\u2019s something that I love, and I would like for other people to experience it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pilates and yoga have recently gained popularity in the Imperial Valley, following a growing trend and a cultural shift toward holistic wellness, stress management, and sustainable fitness.<\/p>\n
Both pilates and yoga offer highly accessible, low-impact workouts that build strength, enhance flexibility, and reduce injury risk, making them ideal workouts for beginners and athletes of all fitness levels.<\/p>\n
Leon said, \u201cWe had our soft opening on May 11, but right now this is our grand opening. We usually have about 12 students for pilates, and 5 for pole dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The surge in popularity of low impact exercises follows a decade-long trend of Cross-fit and weightlifting that has recently hit its peak, with exercise enthusiasts seeking to branch out and experience other ways of staying fit that are not as high impact and are easier on their joints.<\/p>\n
Pole dancing has also surged in popularity as a mainstream fitness and acrobatic art form. Social media platforms have recently helped to increase its popularity and appeal as a rigorous, empowering workout that builds core strength, flexibility, and increased body positivity.<\/p>\n
In addition, Leon explained that her studio offers variety and inclusivity. She said,\u00a0 \u201cWe offer pilates in the mornings and evenings. A new class that we added is yoga on Thursdays. Pole fitness classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Saturdays.\u00a0 Each class is about 50 to 60 minutes in length. All ages and all levels are welcome, both men and women too.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, \u201cFounder Diana Leon turned her passion for movement into a welcoming space where the community can build confidence, improve strength, and reconnect with themselves through mat pilates, pole fitness, yoga.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome another incredible small business to Imperial and can\u2019t wait to watch Poise Studio continue to grow. Here\u2019s to new beginnings, big goals, and a community that supports local,\u201d the chamber said.<\/p>\n
