I was born and raised on the island of Kauai for the first 13 years of my life. I moved to San Diego just in time to start high school and later graduated from California State University San Marcos with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. While some people dream of starting their own business or traveling the world, my biggest dream of ALL was actually to be a Mom. I talked about it since I was a little girl and could not wait for the day to be raising a family of my own. Today, I’m very blessed to say I am living my greatest dream, happily married with a daughter and a son who are my absolute world.
A San Diego native, Alex grew up in Rancho Peñasquitos and has lived a very active lifestyle from a young age. She grew up playing competitive soccer and also ran track and cross country. She discovered barre in high school and loved how the workout complemented her training in running and soccer. Throughout her university life and young adulthood, Alex has continued her active lifestyle through trying new fitness workouts, traveling often, and dancing her booty off at music festivals across the globe. After graduating from UC Davis, she worked in a Lake Tahoe ski resort before moving back to sunny San Diego to become an environmental scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Every now and then, you can find her in the early mornings serving up Starbucks as a long-time barista.
Born and raised in San Diego, Penelope has always had a passion for dance, rhythm and active exercise. She has grown up at a dance study since age 3 and still practices on the daily. When she’s not in a studio, she enjoys spending time with her closest friends at the beach and fun dance competitions out of town. At almost 16 Penelope has had amazing opportunities like traveling to Germany twice to share her love for dance with people from all over the world. Two years ago Penelope discovered bar classes with her mom and fell in love instantly because they reminded her of time in the dance studio! Since her first class at 13 years old, she knew she wanted to be a barista for her first job. Because of her passion for music and exercise, Penelope would love to one day become a bartender at Studio barre Carmel Valley, and continue to call it her second home!

Natalie lives in carmel valley with her husband jesse, son jason (6), and step daughter, savannah (15). she was born and raised here in san diego and come from a really big family. she is one of five siblings, one of them being an identical twin sister. (who you may see at the barre from time to time!) she moved to los angeles to pursue a career in the event industry. she landed a great job that led me to be a part of lots of amazing events like the oscars, vma’s, kids choice awards, private parties etc. it was such a great experience and being in the event industry is truly what she wanted to do. but once she had my son everything changed for them. she really wanted her kids to grow up in san diego like they did and be closer to family so that they could enjoy their kids too.

Marah was born on the farm in northern ca, rooted in long beach ca. she transplanted to maryland for a hot second, but moved back to the west (best) coast as soon as she could and is currently living it up in carlsbad with her husband, 2 adorable kids and 2 just as equally adorable labradoodles. she is our resident good girl who describes herself as an introvert disguised as an extrovert. however when she gets on the mic, her inner starlet comes out (think sasha fierce ala beyonce). you will more than likely see her dance mid thigh when she’s feeling the music. marah is the go-to girl for anything holistic, natural or diy. she knows anything and everything about essential oils and can brew an epic strawberry basil kombucha.
