I try studios all over the country and found Villa to be the most welcoming and fulfilling experience. Great workouts, yoga practices and a friendly, cheerful staff whenever you step in. Beautiful studio, too!

Such a beautiful studio with a beautiful staff. I take Pilates with Carly Farmer and she is incredible! She really kicks your butt and I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth when I take her class. Katherine Slay is also an amazing Pilates instructor! She is really encouraging and helps a lot with flexibility. Both of these girls make working out fun and thanks to them my body looks so much better, I have better posture and I’m flexible again!

I can’t say enough good things about Villa. The physical space is clean, intimate and warm, with top notch equipment, but it’s the people who make it amazing. Carly and her family are warm, welcoming people that make you want to keep coming back. This is how yoga studios used to be before yoga became a corporate phenomenon. This is a fantastic addition to the cannery village neighborhood and I highly encourage anyone to try it out… you won’t be sorry.

Villa is simply a special place–a world created by Carly that is a local gem to Newport Beach. It is a community and a way of life that embraces a healthy lifestyle with a good balance of fun. The teachers, staff, and clients all bring a warmth of positive energy and a desire to create a strong mind, body, and spirit. The local feel is truly unique and makes it such a fun place to be. It’s a beautiful place to practice both pilates and yoga complete with a shop filled with unique clothing and an array of handpicked accessories. I feel so lucky to be a part of the Villa family surrounded by incredible people who inspire me everyday.

Villa is a studio where you can find a pulse. Where the heart meets the soul and one finds their community. A community of acceptance and happiness! There is so much love when you walk in..so much great energy, you can’t help but to want to go on and do great things with your day. Not only can you feel a physical change in your body, your spirit is lightened and you walk away feeling comfortable in your own skin because you have this great place that will love you for you!

Carly Farmer has created a wonderful Pilates and yoga studio – and, with her mom’s help with the retail shop, it is truly a family business. In my Pilates classes, I’m able to exercise muscles that I don’t use very often, and I thank the great Villa Pilates instructors for giving me hard and challenging workouts. Also, I noticed that the attractive Villa website is now more useful than ever.

I love this place! It is in one of the most adorable Newport neighborhoods and everyone is always so welcoming. Carly did such an amazing job with making the space quaint and tranquil.

Villa has changed my life! I have been hooked since my first class. The people who work at Villa are amazing – they all care and want to help you reach the results you want for yourself! The classes are amazing, challenging and FUN. Working out can sometimes be intimidating but it’s not at Villa – you become part of their family and it makes working out so much more rewarding! In addition to the people the health benefits are life-changing. I was born with scoliosis and have had issues and pain on and off throughout my life. After starting Pilates i have seen an improvement in my mobility and the pain has lessened. I have also started taking yoga classes and despite my fear of not knowing what I am doing or being embarrassed by my lack of mobility I have been encouraged by the instructors to stick with it… and I am so glad I have. The yoga classes at Villa are a spiritual journey that I highly recommend you go on. The studio also encourages an overall healthy lifestyle with group cleanses and lifestyle tips in classes and on their blog to help you become the healthiest version of yourself- just another effort by the Staff to help you improve your life. Villa is truly a special place!
