This project emerged from a deep love of education—both in the ability to educate and be educated. In 2023, Capri Montesi founded Stanza Studio to share both knowledge and tools that aid strength and an ease as one moves through life. The space encourages curiosity of the human form and all its capabilities, through the art that is Pilates.

Initially graduating in 2022 as an APPI Certified Mat and Reformer Instructor through Unite Health, Capri has continued her education into 2026 with Kane School Pilates (under mentor Anthea Mclean of Repertoire Pilates) to complete her Comprehensive Mat Certification. She has built a foundation of understanding rooted in elements of classical, modern, and clinical Pilates.

Stanza Studio acknowledges the Kaurna people as the original custodians of the land and seas on which we now learn, teach and practice. We pay respect to those in our past, present and future.
