I have taken Pilates for several years but this was my first time at this studio. I took a private with Rebecca who is a first class teacher. She understands body mechanics extremely well. I have signed to take weekly classes from her I highly recommend her!
So I'm still doing pilates twice a week here, with a break only when covid first hit. Rebecca recently left for maternity leave. I thought she was such a great instructor that I was sure her replacement wouldn't live up. WRONG! Shari is amazing! I love her and only wish she was available more than twice a week!Not only does Shari have a very deep understanding of the body and posture, but she gives great cues. I'm learning so much from her. Things I didn't previously understand about positioning, I now comprehend so much better. Simultaneously to pilates, I also workout with a private fitness trainer, see a physical therapist, multiple (yes, multiple) chiropractors, myofacial release practitioners, and take functional movement classes. So I have quite a bit of experience with different modalities when it comes to body health (or lack thereof). If god forbid, I had to choose just 1 of those to continue, I would for sure pick pilates with Shari.Pilates as taught here isn't just about strengthening. It's about elongating your spine, putting that space back between each vertebrae that we tend to compress, and improving your posture -- something so many of us struggle with today. I find it to be extremely therapeutic and rehabilitative. I used to have a lot of lower back pain -- originating in my teenage years. It became very mild a few years ago. Only after I stopped taking pilates during the first year of the pandemic did I realize the lessened pain was due to pilates. Because the pain level increased during that time off. But now that I'm back, it's virtually gone.I'm always asked how I feel at the beginning of each session. Since I have chronic pain in multiple areas of the body that come and go, my answer might be different each time. Shari takes what I say and then incorporates movements and exercises specifically targeted to help that area. There's more to why I love working with Shari (not least being her sense of humor), but suffice it to say, she's just amazing.
It was wonderful to find a Classically trained Pilates studio. My husband enjoyed his first lesson with Claudia and Rebecca worked me out. My powerhouse is every so grateful. I, hopefully my husband as well, look forward to more lessons.The studio is inviting and resides in a beautiful space.Gwen
