Pilates Essence

Mia is absolutely fantastic and goes above and beyond with her clients. She has been teaching Pilates for over 20+ years and pushes you to your potential. I have been going to her for a few years now and wouldn’t recommend anyone else. I have tried group classes and nothing compares to the fundamentals you learn from Mia. Cannot stress enough how amazing she is!

Mia is an exceptional
pilates instructor and overall human being. She has an intuitive gift and a contagious passion that makes her a wonderful trainer/ instructor. She is amazing and i highly recommend her

Mia is an expert Pilates instructor in person and on zoom. She approaches her practice thoughtfully and cares about her clients whole being.

My wife and I have weekend yoga classes, and we feel healthier with each passing week. Mia, our yoga instructor, is excellent at understanding our body conditions and targeting specific areas for relaxation.

Mia is so exceptional! She is knowledgeable beyond her years, she’s the best trainer I’ve ever had and I feel really fortunate to have met her and to be able to work with her.

Mia is amazing! I was lucky enough to take my first pilates lesson privately with Mia while in town this summer. Everything exceeded my expectations! From her knowledge of the equipment and one's body and where you are struggling Mia's attention to detail is unparalleled.  Having never been on a reformer or any pilates equipment before I was afraid of feeling awkward, doing something wrong and Mia made me feel comfortable right away. I have chronic back issues and Mia was able to provide modifications where needed to ensure my practice was helpful not hurtful. I only wish I lived closer! But I will definitely be back online or in person. Definitely check her out!

Mia is an exceptional instructor whose conscience about my safety. I look forward to my workouts. Just love this girl

Mia is amazing! After just a few short months of taking her classes, I could begin to see a transformation with my poses and my body. She takes such care in watching you to make sure your posture and poses are done correctly. No taking it easy in her class ;) which I need and love! She is so sweet and caring. I always enjoy her class and leave each time feeling better than before.
If you are looking for a kind, caring & companionate teacher who focuses on pushing you to do your best look no further! Sign up! I have taken her Pilates & yoga virtual class and I love love love them!

I’ve been doing private lessons with Mia for over a year and I love her! Mia is an amazing instructor that provides a comfortable environment and is always energetic while teaching. I’ve seen great results since working with her and being able to see so much progress is a big confidence boost! Mia has taught me how to become more in tune with my body while also building muscle and strength. I’ve also had back pain for the past 3 years and ever since working with her my lower back has improved a ton! Love Mia and her teachings<3!!

Mia is the most amazing Pilates instructor! I have been taking Pilates from her for over 10 years and through two pregnancies. She has strengthened my core and kept me in shape with long lean muscles, as well as alleviated all of the back pain I experienced prior to doing Pilates. She is incredibly tuned into each person’s body and knows how to accommodate for injuries as well as help them heal. She is professional, knowledge, kind and inspirational. Her studio is clean and warm. Pilates by Mia is something I could not live without. I could not recommend her more! She will change your life and your body for the better!

Mia is the best Pilates teacher I’ve ever had. She pays such great individual attention to you, and understands how to work with every level. She knows when to push you, but also more importantly when to slow down. I’ve been coming to her studio for two years now on a weekly basis, and I’ve made such amazing progress with her guidance . I came in with chronic knee pain, and every since I started doing Pilates with her I haven’t felt that pain in a long long time, best feeling ever.

Mia is a fantastic instructor, so knowledgeable, encouraging, and sensitive to your body’s specific needs. Her Pilates and Yoga zoom sessions have helped me stand taller, stronger and with more confident. With her I developed core muscles I didn’t even know existed. I started with Mia’s Pilates group mat classes as a beginner and now take Intermediate one-on-one reformer classes with her and look forward to them every week!

I really like Pilates Essence. Great equipment, positive exercise studio environment (very organized and very clean too!) and super-great instructor. Mia explains the importance of specific exercises in relation to how it affects the body. She quickly identifies a body weakness and helps develop strength in that area. Mia loves her work and loves Pilates and so she is very dedicated and sincere in sharing her knowledge and improving your life through Pilates. She's improved my life and I am very grateful.

Mia, the owner of Pilates Essence, is fantastic! I feel like I worked my core and got a great workout but left feeling refreshed and relaxed. She creates a warm, relaxing atmosphere and makes working out feel like a treat. I highly recommend seeing her. If you're new to Pilates, she's the perfect person to start with. She's calm and explains how to do the variety of different exercises in the most caring, encouraging way.

Finding Mia was the perfect thing that happen just in time. Mia is a master plates instructor who brings the perfect balance of professionalism, discipline, and spirituality. Her sessions are challenging and rewarding in so many levels. Mia seems to know my strengths and weaknesses, and works to make me complete. She is a wonderful person who want to help you become the strong and amazing person she knows that you are.
The studio is a always clean. You can be sure that the equipment is cleaned after each client.
If it is your first time at pilates or if you are seasoned, Mia is the person to get you stronger.

I have just recently returned to practicing Pilates and I am so happy that I did. This is the one place where I can go and really escape the craziness of life and focus on me. Mia has an AMAZING way of engaging her students and making them want to learn more. It is obvious that she LOVES her job! Her style of teaching is to take you on a journey as you learn the discipline of Pilates. With Mia you are not just going through the motions of every movement, but you are learning and understanding why and how each movement affects your overall body. Her teaching and expertise have really helped me understand and appreciate the benefits of Pilates. In my daily life outside of the studio I can often times hear Mia’s voice telling me to “tighten up my midline,” “suck in my stomach,” or “sit up taller.” Haha...trust me! All reminders that I need :). No matter what she says or you do as a result of her teaching, the bottom line is - You will be transformed after practicing Pilates with Mia.

Mia really knows what she’s doing. She listens to your body and pushes what you think you can’t do. She’s creative with using different Pilates movements and equipment. She works with your goals and is a delight to be around. Also, her studio is really nice and clean and many Pilates equipment to work with. I drive from the valley to see her, so worth it! Thanks Mia!!

Mia is a great Pilates Instructor. She took the time to find out what was bothering me and designed the workout to fit my needs. She made the whole hour fly by. She took a lot of care to ensure my form was correct and help my body feel the best it can.

Mia is an exceptional trainer, coach and motivator to being in shape, healing the body and having a body you love. Her virtual yoga sessions are amazing. She cares so much for her clients. She’s attentive (even though we aren’t in person) and can share tips that make such a difference to maximizing the moves. Her energy in contagious and I look forward to the sessions each week!

Mia is a gem! I wanted a workout for my 15 year old daughter that would incorporate body awareness, strength training, and core work. With a developing body and self esteem, I wanted someone who would help nurture a healthy body image. Finding Mia was perfect!. Mia has been sensitive to my daughter's needs and has helped cultivate an interest in exercise and a love for working out. One day, my daughter didn't feel like going to the workout but after being with Mia, she came home with a glow and said, "I am so glad I went. I feel so good." Other comments I have heard from my daughter include, "Mia really helps me understand the exercise and the muscles working in my body", "She is fun", "Sometimes I don't think I'm working out hard and then I get in the car and I am shaking." Mia knows her stuff and creates a fun environment to workout. I'm so glad we found her!
