Portia is a genius! It's been 10 years since I last did Pilates, and I'm pretty sure I did it wrong then. Over the last month, Portia has been systematically and EFFECTIVELY fixing my form and making it so I can isolate and feel exactly what muscles I should be using without clenching my whole body (I'm really good at clenching). This is leading to much better stability and a solid foundation to build on and get back to where I was 20 years ago. I love Contrology Studio and especially Portia (I can tell Bonnie is amazing too from what I hear in the background of my sessions)!
Fantastic studio if you’re looking for a classical Pilates class with instructors who are intuitive, approachable, and lead with empathy.
Miquel, Miki and Heather are simply the best. I feel stronger, healthier and lighter after every session. They expertly teach their students and I’m better for it.
