 Hi there, I’m Elisha.

Owner of Nephesh Pilates Studio in East Sacramento.

I know you want to live a life you love, but to do that, you need your body to be on board. And when your body holds you back from doing the things you love, it’s disheartening. It literally hurts. 

But I know your body was designed to move in a way that can give you that life you’ve always wanted. You don’t have to accept the aches and pains as “just part of getting older”. You deserve to love how your body looks, feels, and moves -- no matter what stage of life you’re in. 

 

Our MEMBERS love our team.

 

Elisha Grow

Studio Owner

After Pilates brought Elisha back to life after two kids and an office job, she decided to make it a career to help anybody she could get her hands on, rediscover their bodies and regain control of their lives. In her spare time, Elisha loves cooking for her hungry family, playing (and winning) board games, and taking long walks along the American River near her home.

Mari Minamide

Pilates Teacher

Mari teaches for the joy of students finding themselves within their bodies. Finding the flow of the movement, the release of the stress from their day and the focus within themselves. She will gladly wait in line all day with her pup Kami for a Ginger Elizabeth ice cream sandwich or cup of soft serve.

 

KODIE SOLIS

Pilates Teacher

Kodie loves teaching Pilates because it blends movement, mindfulness, and a little bit of magic ✨ She finds joy in helping clients feel stronger, taller, and more connected in their bodies. Her goal? That you leave each session feeling more confident in your strength and a little lighter in spirit.

Kodie loves getting creative, learning new skills like sewing, cheering on her favorite teams, or baking something sweet to share.

AMANDA KAHN

Pilates Teacher

Amanda loves the energy of people exploring movement and discovering their strength, watching members challenge themselves and grow stronger over time. She believes Pilates should support the way we move through life—helping us feel more capable, confident, and connected in our bodies.

Amanda is an explorer—traveling to new places, indulging in amazing food (especially pastries!), and of course, practicing Pilates.

 

JEANNETTE NORTHERN

Pilates Teacher

Jeannette discovered Pilates after years of exploring movement and healing practices, and it was exactly what her body needed. She teaches to help others build awareness, strength, and connection through movement and breath, believing the true magic of Pilates lies in being present—body, mind, and spirit in unison.

Outside the studio, Jeannette enjoys walking in nature, sharing Jin Shin Jyutsu, and traveling whenever she can.

 
 

You ARE worth it.

Hundreds of our students feel more confident, energized, and strong.

Nephesh Pilates has changed my body and life for the better! The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable. And the studio atmosphere is very comfortable, safe and supportive. Every time I go, I feel better.

After having a baby, exercise can be a little scary. My body didn’t feel the same with atrophied muscles and lots of pain. What I’ve gained at Nephesh Pilates is the self-care [and movement] I need as a new mom.
— Laura D
Nephesh Pilates has helped me to feel fulfilled and love the body that I live in. I’ve been doing Pilates at Nephesh for the past 5 years, which has tremendously improved my strength, core stability and balance. Thank you!
