THE STUDIO
A Boutique 6 Reformer Pilates studio nestled up on a hill looking over Port Lincoln, just a 3 min drive from the city centre. Our studio is a place of escape, inspired by the owner Jasmin and her family's travels through Mexico and Cuba hence the name LA PLAYA ~ "the beach" in spanish. It's a little tropical oasis with ocean views making your time in our studio more spectacular.
The studio is under her family home and has a separate access point down the side of the house, just follow the sign and the arrow and you shall find your little slice of paradise.
We are a very family friendly business! We have 2 couch areas for breastfeeding and for older children to sit and play their games. Or even better a big yard to play in. We encourage mums to bring the kids if they need to do a workout in the school holidays. If you have a baby or toddler we also offer child minding with our MUMMALATES classes. If you need to bring your fur baby we also have a fully enclosed yard for small and big dogs
Now we know it can be daunting joining a new form of exercise & studio. But we assure you this is a place of support and fun and in No means a competitive place. We encourage everyone to come exactly as they are!

Meet The Team
Jazzy
Owner / Instructor / Mum
Pilates has been in my life since my mid 20's & it's now my passion! When I teach it doesn't feel like a job, it lights up my life. Seeing my clients grow stronger, more flexible and achieve more movement- wow what a rush!
My classes are focused on the individual achieving an effective authentic workout. I pride myself on a full body workout, articulation of the spine and my clients having a good time.
Let me take you on a workout with music pumping, the best stretch you’ve ever had and a full body burn where you will quickly realise how incredible your body truly is!
WARNING I'm not your everyday instructor… prepare to work those abs even more with a lot of laughter.
