Professional ballet dancer turned Pilates instructor Gina Shiotani founded Om Spot in 2014 after finding the ideal location in North Pacific Beach, and the studio operates at 2085 Beryl St, San Diego, CA 92109. Gina trained for years under Balanced Body instructor Lizbeth Garcia before launching her own women-owned practice, and she holds certifications in Classical Method Pilates, CorePower Yoga, Balanced Body apparatus including reformer, trapeze table, and prenatal and postpartum Pilates, and is a licensed massage practitioner. Om Spot is one of only a handful of studios in San Diego offering instruction on the CoreAlign, a machine developed by a physical therapist specifically for rehabilitation work. Personalized sessions draw from Pilates mat work, reformer exercises, barrel, chair, and props to create tailored programs based on each client’s health history, injuries, and goals. CorePower Yoga - Pacific Beach is another popular option on the same side of the neighborhood for those looking to build a varied weekly movement schedule. Gina’s background in dance led her to Acro Yoga, and she has been instrumental in growing San Diego’s Acro Yoga community by offering partner acrobatics and partner yoga sessions that combine strength, therapeutic stretching, and fun. The studio also offers online content for clients who prefer to train remotely, and The Fishery on Cass Street is a short drive away for a fresh seafood lunch after a morning session. With more than twelve years of experience across personal training, yoga, and Pilates, Gina uses her massage background to address both the active and restorative sides of her clients’ health. The appointment-based model ensures each visitor receives individualized attention in a focused, private studio setting.
