Woman-owned & managed

How it all started

Once there was a girl who fought hard with herself and with the world to fit in.

She thought she was too much. Too big. Too loud.

And then she realized she wasn’t.

She discovered and created her own multidimensional self and realized that she had been just enough all along.

Monterey Bay Moves creates fitness and wellness experiences for those who, like our founder, want to feel seen, heard, and understood for who they are. So they can in turn soar to new heights in their own life.

Testimonials

We recently had the privilege of experiencing a sound bath led by Monterey Bay Moves at the Sanctuary Hotel during our founder retreat, and it was nothing short of magnificent. Hosted right on the beach, with the soothing sound of waves crashing in the background, the session provided a deeply impactful opportunity for our group of entrepreneurs to truly disconnect and find a sense of peace and rejuvenation.

Brittany Crocket

Had a great time at the happy hour yoga session. Instructor was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I hadn’t been to a yoga session in years but even I was able to keep up. Would recommend to anyone getting into yoga or haven’t been in years.

Jesse Leach

Such a great group class experience! The studio and environment was beautiful and everything needed (yoga mat, blocks, etc) was provided. The stretching class was both challenging and relaxing. It was accessible to everyone- different ages and ability! Highly recommend Monterey Bay Moves for those looking to simply get moving again!

Kelly Rottler

Coach Rosa is very knowledgeable about running form, technique, and injury prevention.Our running group was always so supportive and we finished last quarter with a real 5K.

Thanks to Monterey Bay Moves, I went from a reluctant runner to someone who actually looks forward to running. I hope to continue this hobby for a lifetime.

Monterey Bay Moves coaches meet each client exactly where they are with such compassion and positivity. Working 1:1 with Elizabeth has allowed me to push my own limits knowing that she is there to both cheer me on and catch me when I push too far. I walk out of each session feeling stronger and happier. Definitely a 5 star review!

Wendy Root Askew

Monterey Bay Moves gives me life! I have felt welcomed and part of MBM community since day one. The trainers have amazing energy and make the classes so fun! They are warm, super supportive, and always offer suggestions to modify the moves to fit your abilities. I love the building, the atmosphere, the fresh air, the great music, and the awesome MBM community. Monterey Bay Moves has helped me strengthen my whole body. I feel so much better physically and mentally after my classes, they are the highlight of my week!

Rebecca Paszkowski

I’ve been part of Monterey Bay Moves for a couple years now. They have the best yoga instructors. I go into yoga class a zombie and come out feeling alive. The spiritual healing I feel after each session is insane but have also noticed over time getting stronger and more flexible (going in at least once a week). I Love being a part of this community.

Rahil Rhyder

The experience far exceeded our expectations! Not only was the view amazing but Robin led us through a very grounding yoga flow. Her bubbly personality and calming presence created the ideal experience! The staff members also went above and beyond to offer drinks, mats and transport to the location. Thank you!!
