“Progress starts with feeling supported enough to begin.”

The Pura Vida Approach

The Pura Vida Way

Clear instruction. Thoughtful options. A pace that leaves room for you.

Our instructors are here to make movement understandable and approachable. They’ll help you build awareness, adjust when needed, and recognize progress that goes beyond simply finishing a class.

The People Behind the Practice

Meet your instructors.

Each instructor brings their own experience and energy, with one shared goal: helping you feel capable, comfortable, and supported.

Roni Ott

As a proud Fountain Hills resident for over 20 years, Roni discovered her calling as a Pilates Instructor while helping her husband recover after his second back surgery.

That personal experience inspired her specialization in spinal fusion instruction where she designs adaptive sessions focused on safety, alignment and gradual strength-building.

Her encouraging approach helps clients build confidence, improve mobility and cultivate lasting body awareness. Dedicated to personalized guidance, Roni supports every client in moving with greater ease and resilience.

Heidi Hagan

Heidi Hagan is a health enthusiast and a longtime Fountain Hills resident who was raised here and raised her son here. After a few years away, she felt the pull to return.

Proud to open this family Pilates studio — a place built on that sense of community where people gather, move, and feel like they belong
