WHERE WE ARE:

Vi sits in an exclusive, appointment only, setting that overlooks a bright and cheery garden. Located in beautiful Santa Barbara, our Garden Studio is dedicated solely to you. We offer private classes for one, or two clients at a time, whether you like to train solo, or with your partner and friend.


WHAT WE DO:

We focus on training efficiency, function and progression to give you strength, power and longevity to go out and thrive in all your pursuits, at every stage of life. We follow longevity science and make sure we deliver what you need, so you can be carefree and spend more time doing the things you love outside the studio.


HOW WE DO:

At Vi, we use integrative training to strengthen and balance your body for today, and the long haul. While you work hard, you will improve your strength, endurance, mobility, flexibility, balance, bone density, lean muscle mass, cognitive reactivity, posture, form and function.


HOME PRACTICE:

In addition to our in-person classes, we offer an entire suite of classes on-demand for those who can't join us here in Santa Barbara.

ABOUT KRISTI

Kristi Chaussard, a Pilates Educator and Influencer who has trained Pilates teachers in dynamic and athletic movement in the US, Australia, UAE, England, Europe and Canada, has spent a lifetime in athletics and fitness training. She has been at peak fitness and also lived through debilitating injuries and setbacks. An avid learner, she understands the essentiality of movement to living a healthy life, but that movement has to serve the mover. There are key movement elements essential to keeping us strong and energetic. Though intensities change with life stages, these key elements must remain in order to fully enjoy our lives outside the studio. That is the ultimate goal: let movement serve the greater purpose of enabling you to do what you love most outside of your workout time. This is Vi.


Vi also specializes in postpartum, peri-menopause, injury rehab, and posture rehabilitation. If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution, a solid base training, overall health and wellbeing, stronger muscles and bones, more balance in body and life, mobility and flexibility, joint strength and health, injury prevention and rehab, to age strong and feel your best then the Vi Method is for you!
