Simply Pilates

This is the Pilates I’ve been looking for. Colleen is awesome. Her practice is oriented on building a foundation safely and gradually. She is not only knowledgeable but also very attuned to what’s happening with me in our sessions. She gives very helpful, understandable and responsive instruction (responsive to what is happening in the moment). I tried more of a fitness class style Pilates first and injured myself. Turned out this was what I needed instead!

I have been doing mat Pilates for over 10 years and recently moved from the Bay Area to Sebastopol area. I did a lot of research online and visited several Pilates studios in the Sebastopol. I was very happy with my previous studio and instructor and was looking for something similar. I wanted small classes, knowledgeable & friendly instructors, personal attention, suitable class schedule, clean, comfortable & well-equipped studio, easy parking, and affordable fees.

Well, I found the perfect fit for me at Simply Pilates! Colleen is an amazing instructor. She is fun, energetic, and most importantly, knowledgeable in body physiology and the Pilates method. In every class, Colleen constantly gives verbal cues on posture and breathing. She varies what we do in each class so it is not repetitive and gets boring.

We all know that Pilates is about strengthening the body core to improve posture, strength and flexibility. In my previous classes, I was just instructed to “suck” in my abs. With Colleen, the instruction is more detailed and she gets us to “identify, feel, work, & strengthen” so many different parts of our body that makes up our “core”.

I highly recommend Colleen and her Simply Pilates studio. She makes classes so fun and your body feel so good.
