Today we’d like to introduce you to Tuzdae Rosenbach
Hi Tuzdae, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Simply put, we started as 2 girls who found our individual passion for the somatic approach during our time teaching Pilates but realized that we could be giving more to our clients (and ourselves) if we only had the right atmosphere, tools and agency over what & how the classes were being taught. A frustrated comment made in passing, turned into a lunch meeting, turned into a business idea, turned into the pilates oasis we call SHIFT.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I think that if you ask any business owner, they’ll tell you there are trials and tribulations, learning curves and failures; but looking back on the process I believe we’ve been presented with every correct and necessary opportunity at the exact right time. A lot of our biggest decisions had us putting our hands up and just saying “yes” while looking at each other and wondering if we were delusional or if the perfect opportunity had just dropped in our lap yet again.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about SHIFT Pilates?
We are truly just 2 women…movement practitioners, who discovered the transformative power of somatic healing through Pilates and became passionate about helping others find the same love and appreciation for movement Our studio offers, a safe intimate environment, designed for quiet focus, featuring only 6 reformers to ensure personalized attention and a community feel.
As a female-owned business, we pride ourselves on having created a unique space to stand apart from the corporate-feeling, “no pain, no gain” focused, cookie-cutter style Pilates studios popping up everywhere right now. As first time business owners, we are passionate about leading the shift we’re seeing in the fitness industry towards slowing down and truly connecting with our bodies. Recent scientific findings support this approach, highlighting the importance of focusing on the nervous system for optimal results. We are also excited to see a growing awareness around women’s cycles and how movement should be adaptable to these rhythms.
Our most sought-after offerings include our SHIFT Exclusive classes, which encompass, Somatic Pilates, Neuro-Pilates, and, Reformer: Vinyasa Yoga; each in which you will be guided through mindful movement with the intention of tapping into the nervous system and rewiring the neural pathways. In addition, we provide access to other gentle somatic healing modalities, such as Breathwork sessions and Soundbaths to further enhance our clients experiences.
Looking ahead we are thrilled about our upcoming collaboration with the UCSD Mindfulness Institute – stay tuned for some exciting offerings that will blend mindfulness with movement!
At our studio, we want readers to know that we are dedicated to fostering a holistic approach to wellness. We believe in the importance of connecting with oneself through mindful movement and we are here to support our clients on their journey to better health and well-being.
Thank you for allowing us to share our vision.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What’s not to love about the city of San Diego?! Our favorite aspect of the city is all the different environments you can find here and how easily accessible they are. Where else could you drive from the beach to the mountains in the same day and still have time to grab dinner afterwards??? Whatever your cup of tea, you’re going to find it in Sunny San Diego.
