selena Gomez‘s Pilates Pro Reveals Holistic Wellness Rituals Fueling Hollywood’s Glow
LOS ANGELES, CA – Shannon Nadj, founder of the popular Hot Pilates studio and trainer to stars like Selena Gomez, is expanding her wellness beliefs beyond fitness, incorporating restorative practices to cultivate a mind-body-soul approach. Nadj detailed her personal regimen and the evolving focus of her studio in a recent interview, revealing the rituals keeping herself and her high-profile clientele grounded and glowing.
Nadj emphasizes that workouts are “just one part of the bigger picture when it comes to wellness,” rooted in the core Pilates principle of the mind-body connection. “Which to me means nurturing our inner world just as much as our outer one,” she explained.
This shift is reflected in recent collaborations and offerings at Hot Pilates, including sound baths and events co-hosted with lymphatic drainage specialists Under Los Angeles, conveniently located next door to her studio. Nadj herself prioritizes mental wellbeing through “breath work, meditation, and slowing down,” noting that sound baths “support our well-being on a cellular level” and services like those from Sous La align with “intentional self-care.”
Despite the expanded focus, Nadj remains committed to the signature workouts that built her brand. “Prioritizing movement helps us age gracefully and stay strong enough to keep doing the things that bring us joy,” she stated. “Beyond the physical benefits,maintaining a routine builds discipline,and over time,that turns into confidence we can carry with us far beyond our workouts… Plus,releasing endorphins is like getting a natural boost from our body’s own pharmacy.”
Currently, Nadj favors “low cortisol workouts” like heated mat Pilates and reformer classes.
Her commitment to wellness extends beyond the studio, incorporating a range of restorative treatments. Nadj utilizes a hyperbaric chamber at Remedy place, Normatec compression boots several times a week for inflammation, dry brushing in the winter for circulation, and a Celluma LED red light therapy mask for facial care. She also combats Los Angeles’ dry climate by using humidifiers in every room.
Nadj’s holistic approach also extends to nutrition,following an anti-inflammatory meal plan and taking TruNiagen supplements and Peptides BPC157 (obtained through Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group) for inflammation and muscle recovery. “I’ve never felt better,” she shared.
