How It All Started
After working at several gyms and Pilates/Yoga studios, current Om Spot owner Gina Shiotani was ready to open her own space in 2014! Gina had spent years training clients with Balanced Body trainer Lizbeth Garcia and jumped at the opportunity when she found the perfect location in North Pacific Beach.
Om Spot opened its doors in 2014 after remodeling the space to embody the goal of a functional health and wellness studio. Om Spot is equipped for private training on apparatus and outdoor group sessions.
The studio has all the tools you need for Pilates and Yoga and features a spacious deck for mat classes and events. The outdoor garden setting is a perfect place to come together for performances, group workshops, and private Acro Yoga lessons.

Meet Gina, Studio Owner and Instructor

Gina started her fitness journey early, studying ballet at the age of six. When she started dancing professionally, Gina used Pilates for strength training and yoga for balance and flexibility. These exercises helped her stay healthy and capable of performing at the highest level.
Being a dancer and leading an active lifestyle, Gina was no stranger to injury. Later in her life, she became interested in massage and physical therapy to heal her body. |

Through Om Spot, she aims to offer the tools that everyone needs to gain and maintain strength for optimum physicality. At our studio, Gina uses her knowledge as a massage practitioner to assist our clients with the active-solar side and restorative-lunar side of health, which is ideal for those who need to heal.

After her dance career, Gina continued her love of performance in the form of Acro Yoga or partner acrobatics. She has been a huge participant in bringing San Diego’s vibrant Acro Yoga community to life. In addition to Acro Yoga, Gina also loves to share the gift of partner yoga with our clients. Partner yoga is strengthening, therapeutic, and most importantly, fun!
Gina’s love of healthy living, daily fitness, and restorative practices are evident in her teaching. When she is not instructing at our studio, Gina can be found surfing, dancing, or playing in her garden. |
