The Story of Ahwatukee Pilates & Wellness

Dakota Markanian was running beautiful pilates and meditation classes in CA, subleasing under another studio. Soon, however, she found herself at odds with the roadmap in front of her, dictated by the business structure and space she was in. She wanted a different destination but couldn’t decide where to go when she was driving someone else’s car. So, she took a leap. 

She moved to Arizona and began looking for her very own studio where she could share all her tools with her clients, ultimately becoming a one-stop shop for holistic wellness: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. 

When she found Amy, everything started falling into place. 

“I got connected to Amy and she really knew what she was doing. She never missed a beat. She really moved things along. I kinda had a general idea of where I wanted to be. I found a location and we ran with it. She was so instrumental in getting what I really wanted and needed from the space.”

Miraculously, Dakota got the first space she wanted and, with Amy’s guidance, was able to build it out in the way she wanted, including all the finishing touches like flooring and paint.

Now, she is a full-fledged business owner who is realizing her dream of healing her clients in more ways than one. 

Pilates provides a physical healing: Take your pick of private, semi-private, and/or group classes. As a boutique studio, Ahwatukee Pilates & Wellness helps people work from a deeper space more than coming in for a quick sweat. 

Meditation provides a mental healing: Every person receives the guidance they need to reach the peace and clarity they are seeking. 

Energy healing provides an emotional healing: Dakota’s demeanor invites trust and relaxation as she guides you through releasing tension and trauma. 

Sound baths provide a spiritual healing: Carefully crafted sounds and vibrations help you sink into a deep relaxation and journey to heal the soul. 

If this sounds like the kind of experience you need, give it a try! We think you’ll love Dakota and her space.
