The best kept secret in Palm Desert for intentional, thoughtful and transformative movement.
Tucked beneath the palms on El Paseo, MOVEMENT BOTTEGA, founded by Missoni Lanza, is an intimate boutique Pilates studio designed for those who are looking for a high-touch movement experience in an intimate and relaxed environment. Inspired by the Italian word bottega, meaning an artisan’s workshop, we believe movement is more than a form of exercise—it’s a sacred practice. A place to come home to your body, be present with yourself, and take a pause from the noise of everyday life.
Movement Bottega is home to a collective of compassionate, highly trained instructors who honor the integrity of the Pilates method and the responsibility that comes with working with the human body. We believe in preserving the integrity of the origin and methodology of the Pilates Method and integrate current exercise science into our programming, creating movement that is intelligent, safe, and transformative. With just four reformers, classes remain intentionally small. You’re greeted by name, never lost in a crowd of interchangeable classmates, and supported with individualized guidance.
We look forward to welcoming you to our boutique movement atelier.
