We are passionate about sharing Pilates and holistic self-care rituals so you reach your wellness potential.
We know that coming into a Pilates studio for the first time can be intimidating.
It’s not your fault — learning something new is always hard and a little scary.
That’s why we’ve made it a priority to create a supportive and welcoming space, with classes designed just for you. You do not need to be a flexible ballerina, athlete or marathon runner to do pilates!
We don’t fit your body to the movements, we fit the movements to your body.
After all, Pilates is for everyBODY. And, so is self-care.
You so deserve it.
Like Joseph Pilates, we believe mindful movement combined with balanced living is the foundation for a healthy, and happy, life.
We empower you with tools to deepen your connection to self and explore how you can find balance, and increase your strength – inside and out.
It’s your practice! But, we are here to support you every step of the way on your wellness journey.
We can’t wait to see you in class!
As an Aruyvedic practitioner, Jean brings a personalized and unique approach to Pilates and mindful movement.
Jean is dedicated to empowering her clients to enhance their health and enrich their lives through mindful movement and balancing self-care rituals. She has been changing lives by sharing mindful movement and Ayurveda for nearly 20 years.
Jean's journey began as a means of healing from a cycling injury and managing stress in her previous career in political marketing and public affairs. What started as a personal pursuit blossomed into a deep passion, leading her to carve out a new path in the holistic health field.
Jean founded and directed a large Pilates, Yoga and Ayurvedic Wellness studio for nearly 10 years. During this time, working with hundreds of women, she was inspired to write the Pilates Hotty Mantra. This mantra is a call to action, reminding women to be peaceful with themselves and to find their inner and outer strength and power through Pilates movement.
This mantra is the inspiration behind her clothing line, Pilates Hotty. And, this message is her priority as she continues to share mindful movement and self-care ritual with others.
Having sold her previous Pilates, Barre and Yoga studio of ten years, Jean moved to McCall because of the amazing recreational quality of life we enjoy here. Since moving here a decade ago, Jean has been creating mindful movement and wellness experiences for clients in a small private training studio on her property.
Jean holds two comprehensive Pilates certifications, including Polestar Pilates, renowned for its rehabilitative approach. Like Joseph Pilates, Jean believes movement heals. She incorporates that belief into all of her teachings and believes Pilates is so much more than a great workout.
A graduate of the California College of Ayurveda and the American Institute of Vedic Studies, Jean holds certifications as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Pancha Karma Specialist. Jean first studied Yoga with the Ananda Ashram in Grass Valley and has continued her studies with Integrative Yoga Therapy. Her dedication to education is evident in the multiple Yoga Alliance Approved Teacher Training programs she has developed and directed, alongside Pilates Teacher Training programs.
Jean finds joy in spending time exploring all the wild spaces in our region with her family and friends. She loves cooking, gardening, hiking, cycling and paddleboarding.
Bobbie Garza brings warmth, expertise, and genuine care to every session at Gather Pilates. As a BASI Certified Pilates Instructor, Bobbie’s own journey began after a back injury opened her eyes to the transformative power of mindful movement.

With comprehensive training from Body Arts and Science International (BASI) and over a decade of experience teaching clients of all ages and backgrounds, Bobbie believes Pilates is for everyone—whether you’re building core strength, regaining mobility, or hoping to move through daily life with greater ease. She’s known for her attentive eye, adaptive teaching style, and ability to create a welcoming space where each individual’s needs are honored.
In both private and group settings, Bobbie encourages thoughtful movement, celebrates progress, and meets clients exactly where they are. Her supportive approach empowers each person to reconnect with their body, discover new confidence, and experience the lasting benefits of Pilates in a warm and uplifting community. For Bobbie, Pilates is much more than exercise—it’s a joyful practice of discovering what you’re capable of, together.
Amanda Bonilla discovered her passion for ballet at the age of ten and has been captivated by its unique blend of grace and athleticism ever since. Ballet has remained a constant source of inspiration and growth throughout Amanda’s life, shaping her dedication both as a student and as a teacher.
Today, Amanda shares her expertise by leading classes in barre and ballet technique, creating a supportive environment where every dancer can build strength, find artistry, and experience the joy that ballet brings. She believes in fostering confidence and a lifelong appreciation for movement, welcoming dancers of all backgrounds to explore the beauty of ballet with her at Gather Dance Studio.
Scarlett can be found helping out at the front desk, in our retail boutique and supporting studio outreach. Scarlett has grown up around Pilates, and has learned to appreciate how it helps her in her equestrian endeavors.
Now, she looks forward to sharing pilates with her peers, and is helping to develop Youth Programming at Gather Pilates.
She also hopes to become a Pilates instructor herself, before going to college.
When Scarlett isn’t at the studio or school, she can be found riding her horse Vegas, reading, or playing with the family dogs and goats. Scarlett also loves art and is a member of the PLMS art club.
