Celebrity Pilates instructor Shannon Nadj, founder of Hot Pilates in West hollywood, California, discusses her evolving wellness philosophy and new offerings, including sound baths and lymphatic drainage partnerships, as she looks ahead to 2026.
The Evolution of Hot Pilates
For 11 years, Hot Pilates has been a go-to destination for celebrities seeking sculpted physiques. Founded by Shannon Nadj, the studio has built a reputation for its challenging and effective heated Pilates classes. Nadj recently shared her vision for the studio’s future, emphasizing a holistic approach to wellness that extends beyond physical fitness.
Nadj’s clientele includes high-profile figures such as Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Shay Mitchell, lori Harvey, Sofia Richie, and Selena Gomez.
Beyond the Workout: A Mind-Body-Soul Destination
Nadj believes that true wellness encompasses more than just physical exercise. “We truly believe workouts are just one part of the bigger picture when it comes to wellness. One of the core principles of Pilates is the mind-body connection, which to me means nurturing our inner world just as much as our outer one,” she explains. This philosophy has led to the integration of restorative practices into the Hot Pilates experience.
Recent additions include sound baths, designed to promote relaxation and reduce stress, and collaborations with Under Los Angeles, a specialized lymphatic drainage studio conveniently located next door. Lymphatic drainage is a technique aimed at removing toxins and reducing inflammation, complementing the physical benefits of Pilates.
The Rise of Holistic Wellness
Nadj’s shift towards a more holistic approach reflects a growing trend in the wellness industry. Consumers are increasingly seeking experiences that address not only their physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being. This demand has fueled the popularity of practices like mindfulness, meditation, and option therapies.
Pilates, with its emphasis on controlled movements and breathwork, naturally lends itself to this holistic approach.By incorporating sound baths and lymphatic drainage, Hot Pilates is positioning itself as a comprehensive wellness destination.
