Co-Founder, House of Core
Paula Nazar

When I look back at my life, being a devoted mother has not kept me from diving headfirst into many endeavors. Founding Luisant 6, Hello Gorgeous, & leading Operations/Marketing for Hypercel Corp. were stepping stones for taking on my new role at The House.

I have been doing Pilates for over 12 years, after covid having no studio that matched what we needed, my partner and I decided to create a new space where we could collaborate and birth a Studio that was not just Pilates, but an inclusive community and immersive lifestyle.

My commitment is to continuously design, create and source the most innovative and beautiful pieces and lifestyle products that are not only useful and cutting edge, but Eco-friendly and sustainable for your active and restorative lifestyle. Personally taking care of our incredible clients and team of Instructors is my number one priority.

Thank you for making Our House yours! We love having you!

Always on the hunt to continue learning and truly experience life, I
have worked in various fields extending from fashion to fitness.

My fashion past started when I was young. I became a celebrity
stylist assistant for the red carpet/ magazine covers from 14 - 20
years old. While in collage and styling around the globe I started
my own fashion line (at the age of 19) and was head of graphic
design for multiple designers. Soon after I became head product
development for a startup sustainable couture fashion line.

If you can’t tell already.. I LOVE working when it’s my passion.

By the age of 20, I took my first Pilates class and realized how
mentally and physically beneficial it was. I would walk into class
stressed, sometimes watery eyes from crying and yet I would
leave class smiling?!! And happy?! Out of amazement and also
curiosity, I listened to my gut when I woke up one morning and
decided to leave the fashion industry to get my reformer Pilates
certification.

Now 12 years 8 months later I have over 20 wellness
certifications, written 2 self help books, been asked to speak
about Laws of Attraction/positivity for large corporations. In my
spare time I write pilates manuals, lead teacher trainings and I
love hosting wellness/fitness retreats throughout California.

My belief “If you want it bad enough, you will work hard and make
it happen. Excuses don't count. Never turn down an opportunity.
You never know where it will lead. Heck if it doesn't work out..
Who cares it wasn't meant to be. At least you tried and I'm proud
of you!”

Kirstie Beck

Hi, I’m Kirstie. I’ve been a professional dancer for 25 years and a certified Pilates instructor & coach for 7 years. Through the wear and tear of dance, and before my Pilates career, I endured a plethora of injuries, leaving me unable to continue my passion for movement.

I was seeking a way to prevent and manage injuries to return dance and perform at a high level. After finding Pilates, my passion grew for the modality and was certified in Pilates to help coach others. I train clients to tone, prevent and manage pain/injuries, gain flexibility, improve athletic performance, and feel amazing in everyday life, with Pilates.

In 2020, I created an online program to teach this methodology, called PWRHOUSE. I believe a pillar of healthy movement is functional range and mobility, and Pilates is an efficient and effective way to achieve that.

Cynthia Conran

Hi! I’m Cynthia and I started on my Pilates journey 20 years ago in London. I was originally looking to relieve severe lower back pain due to an injury I received as an equestrian trainer and coach.

I found Pilates to be the cure along with the entire connection of body, mind, and spirit.

I have been teaching now for 4 years and what makes me adore my profession the most is watching my clients discover and fall in love with the practice also!

Kelsi Taylor

Hi there! I’m Kelsi Taylor. So happy to be a part of HOC! Growing up I never thought I would even enjoy working out, let alone become an instructor. However, 7 years ago I stumbled upon a pilates class and fell IN LOVE. One year later, I got comprehensively certified through Pilates Sports Center and am thriving as an instructor. 

After years of teaching at top LA studios, I feel as though I have really grown in my craft. I continue to strive to learn more while showing people the gift of movement! My classes have a base in traditional pilates yet are spiced up with modern flows that will leave you strong + ready to tackle your day.

PILATES!! How grateful I am to have found this beautiful movement. It has changed my life. Growing up I had been a life long runner. Finding Pilates was the key I needed to balance my body and mind. I now have been teaching for nearly 20 years. I strive to make my classes challenging, creative and fun!

I went through training and certification at PSC Pilates sports center in Los Angeles, CA. I began my career in pilates based physical therapy. Helping people heal from sports injuries, accidents, surgeries, and other ailments was very rewarding. I then went on to work at various studios over the years.

I look forward to seeing you in class! Let’s have fun!

Julia Patterson

Hi! I’m Julia. Even though I’m new to the studio I’m not new to Pilates. I’ve been teaching for seven years. I fell in love with Pilates  after seeing my personal transformation psychically and mentally. I loved seeing my own personal growth with Pilates. I gained endurance, strength, and self discipline. 

If I’m not home, I’m traveling/hiking the tallest mountains and adventuring all over. 

I love challenges and I love challenging my clients to reach their greatest potential. My biggest reward is helping my clients feel better, look better, and achieve their goals.

Ashley Rogers

Hi! I'm Ashley Rogers, a Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer with a background in sports and modeling. I'm thrilled to meet you and guide you through sessions at the beautiful HOC!

Living a healthy lifestyle has always been my passion. Growing up in Oregon, playing soccer, and being part of an athletic and health-conscious family made the fitness world feel like home to me.

Even during my international modeling career, my favorite part of the day was always attending a Pilates class after work, no matter how jet lagged I was. Pilates became a cornerstone of my routine, even helping me manage jet lag!

In 2020, I had a significant realization and decided to transition from full-time modeling to helping others become their best selves. My goal is to empower women to not only love their bodies but to love themselves completely. I pursued my ACE personal training certification and soon after became certified in Reformer Pilates. I couldn't wait to share the transformative benefits I had experienced in my own mind, body, and soul with others.

My motto is "Strong is Sexy." When you feel strong and healthy internally, it radiates outwardly, enhancing your overall appearance. I believe true beauty is about energy, not a specific body type.

I look forward to meeting you on the reformer!

Jamie Friedlander

Hi, I'm Jamie! I fell in love with pilates after my first session when I was so sore the next day in places I did not know existed. From then on, I continued pilates all throughout college and knew very shortly after graduating that I wanted to be on the other end and become an instructor.

I can confidently say it was the BEST decision I have ever made. I am obsessed! My specialty is mixing slow, strength building exercises with a touch of cardio for ultimate results. My favorite moves are kneeling crunches and bungee!

A few fun facts about me: My favorite place to eat is Erewhon (IYKYK). I have 3 golden retrievers at home who I love spending my free time with! I’ve been teaching pilates for 10+ years and fall more in love with it every day. It has truly changed my mind & body. My ideal weekend morning is taking a pilates class and grabbing a latte after for a walk! If its a weekend, I’ll be at the local farmers market. I love traveling and hope to visit as many places as I can!

House Pilates instructor
Jojo Hwang

Hi, I’m Jojo! Whether it’s at the studio/gym or behind the camera, I’m all about incorporating creativity and fun in my day-to-day routine.

You can catch me at the farmer’s market supporting local businesses, taking a long walk with a matcha in hand or creating my newest playlist for my next class.

My ultimate goal is to motivate others to find joy through movement, encourage those who’ve also struggled with their body image, and most importantly, enjoy life to the fullest.

Anna Youn

I've been fascinated with body movement and form since I was a dancer and cheerleader in my formative years. I was amazed by the results I felt after my first few sessions on the reformer, I knew that I needed to further my knowledge in practicing Pilates. 

After earning my Pilates Certification, I took a special interest in understanding and educating myself in different techniques that maximize fitness results. As an Instructor, I love focusing on improving balance, posture, and building strength to help clients power through each day with confidence!

My goal is to deliver results while creating a fun and upbeat environment.

When I'm not teaching Pilates, I love to hike with my German Shepherd, volunteer with kids, and travel!
