Pilates, But Make It Luxe—Inside Dana Point’s Modern Art of Pilates
Dana Point just got a serious upgrade in the Pilates world.
Modern Art of Pilates, founded by Haley Turley, isn’t your typical studio—it’s a high-end, boutique-style space where precision meets intensity, classical meets modern, and movement is truly an art form.
If you’re a South OC local looking for a Pilates experience that’s equal parts challenging, rejuvenating, and downright addictive, keep reading—because this might just be your new favorite spot.
Meet Haley Turley: From Runner to Pilates Guru
Haley’s journey to Pilates wasn’t exactly planned—it was personal. After suffering from chronic back pain caused by running injuries, she tried everything to heal, but nothing worked.
That is, until she discovered Pilates.
“I couldn’t believe the difference,” Haley recalls. “Within a month, my back pain was gone. I knew right then that I wanted to teach this method and eventually open my own studio.”
That dream became a reality in February 2025, when she launched Modern Art of Pilates (MAP) in Dana Point, choosing the location for its active, health-conscious community.
The vibe?
An intimate, luxury space where every client gets personalized attention and a workout that actually works.
What Makes Modern Art of Pilates Different?
Sure, there are plenty of Pilates studios in Orange County—but MAP isn’t like the rest.
Here’s why it’s our absolute fave:
The Best of Both Worlds
Love classical Pilates? Great. Want something a little more intense? Also great. Modern Art of Pilates blends classical foundations with the athleticism of Lagree, giving you the best of both styles in one class.
Small, Boutique-Style Classes
No overcrowded rooms here. With small class sizes and expert instruction, you get personalized coaching, alignment corrections, and modifications so you see real results.
A True Mind-Body Experience
It’s not just about sweating (although, trust us, you will). Pilates at MAP is movement therapy, helping with injury prevention, core strength, flexibility, and stress relief—so you leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed.
A Studio You Actually Want to Be In
Think high-end reformers, a beautifully designed space, and a calming yet energizing atmosphere that makes you want to stick around after class… plus, the people are cool!
Who’s It For? (Spoiler: Probably YOU)
Haley has built a community where everybody feels welcome—whether you’re a total beginner or an elite athlete.
Clients include:
Young professionals looking for an efficient, full-body workout.
Busy parents craving a little “me time.”
Retirees focused on longevity, flexibility, and low-impact strength.
Athletes (runners, surfers, golfers) using Pilates for injury prevention and performance.
Beginners looking for a supportive, high-quality introduction to Pilates.
And the best part? No matter where you start, Haley meets you exactly where you’re at.
More Than Just a Workout
At Modern Art of Pilates, it’s not just about getting stronger—it’s about building a lifestyle that blends fitness, wellness, and community. Haley envisions MAP as a wellness club—a place where clients connect, unwind, and enjoy a little luxury in their routine.
Imagine finishing an amazing class, then sipping champagne with new friends, joining a wellness retreat, or taking part in a private group session—because fitness should feel like a celebration, not a chore.
