In 2022, The Blend first opened its doors in Dana Point, California; however, that is not where the story of The Blend first began.
Back in 2018, The Blend was first introduced to some of the top boutique fitness studios in Toronto, Canada, and in a few short months, it became wildly popular as one of the most waitlisted classes in town.
So...What Exactly Is The Blend?
The Blend represents the blending of multiple disciplines: Pilates, Yoga & HIIT, which have been combined into a unique cocktail that elevates your body, mind, and spirit.
This workout was originally made just for me…
It was to fill a gap I was personally experiencing
from regular workouts and classes.

Without wanting to spend hours in the gym or
studio, I wondered what would happen if I blended
everything I loved together into ONE workout.
There are many yoga fusion classes but none offered the unique structure of uniting the best parts of a yoga flow, muscle activation, and a fully adaptable, High-Intensity Interval Training Mat Pilates Series.
So, it began as a 60-minute class that Jennifer used to do between teaching private clients and group classes. She spent a year perfecting the flow so she could incorporate all of her favorite parts of that lengthening, strengthening, heart-pumping, and sweaty class she created inside of one hour.
Many of her private clients started asking her what she was doing to stay so fit over 40… and once she told them… they wanted in!
Word travels fast, and it didn’t take long for many of the studios she taught at to request this class that they had been hearing about.
This class became The Blend.
And The Blend became the most popular class at every studio it was taught at.
After relocating to Dana Point, Jennifer decided to bring The Blend and so much more to Orange County.
Her vision was to create an inclusive and welcoming community, practicing in spectacular, purpose-built studio spaces. Inside and out of The Studio, the mission of The Blend is to help transform participants’ physical and mental wellbeing by surrounding them in luxurious spaces and offering the very best yoga and mat pilates taught by the best local instructors available.
