As someone who works within the fitness industry, but is completely new to Reformer Pilates, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience 🤍✨ Ana is an amazing and knowledgable Pilates instructor - she is encouraging, engaging, and makes you feel so at ease. The classes I’ve attended have been a perfect mixture of intensity, movement variation and stretches. The Studio is just beautiful, making it the perfect setting for the classes, and you’re also made to feel so welcome. This is only the beginning for me, but I can’t wait to continue my Pilates journey here with Ana 🫶🏻
