I was hesitant to start Pilates for many reasons, but I am so glad I found Elana. She is an incredibly kind and knowledgeable teacher who takes the time to get to know you, identify your goals, and ensures every movement feels right for your body. She always asks first “how does your body feel today?” and then modifies the plan from there. The studio is calming and fosters an environment of safety and support. I’ve never felt more comfortable or encouraged in a fitness setting. If you're looking for a studio, moreover a person, that truly cares about your well-being, this is the place!

Elana’s space, knowledge, and intuitive teaching style won me over immediately. Truly a teachers’ teacher, with such a breadth and depth of body & movement knowledge, I always leave our sessions with my cup filled and my butt gently and compassionately kicked :)

Elana’s practices have changed my life! She’s helped my strength, posture and mobility while navigating my issues with lower back pain. My body feels the best it’s ever felt - couldn’t recommend her more!

Elana has changed my body and hence my life. I began practicing with her after an accident, and she has worked with me to craft a custom path to best tend to my specific needs. My body has never been more connected and felt so good. Elana’s intuition and skill, along with her masterful queues have changed my life. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

After surgery, my physician recommended I try Pilates—and that’s when I began working with Elana. I wasn’t prepared for just how transformative the experience would be. Elana is not only an incredibly knowledgeable and technically skilled Pilates instructor, she’s also deeply intuitive and emotionally attuned. She tailors each session to your unique physical condition, goals, and even emotional state, with warmth and insight. Elana’s guidance has supported me far beyond physical recovery. I now feel more connected to my body than ever, while getting stronger and more flexible. Working with Elana has been a gift and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
