I have been practicing Pilates for over fifteen years, and have never experienced another studio like Zalla Pilates. Jessie and her team teach classical Pilates with a focus on body awareness, knowledge and mindfulness that has transformed not only my Pilates practice, but my approach to all forms of exercise and movement.
I thought that I was in pretty good shape before studying with Jessie, but at Zalla Pilates I have learned how to identify and turn on muscles and muscle groups that have been neglected and underdeveloped. I have learned how to make subtle changes to my posture in different poses which has led to relief from chronic pain in my neck and hips. Each class is not only an incredible workout, but an opportunity to learn more about your anatomy in a very approachable manner. The studio is bright and warm. The classes are a highlight of my week!
What an incredible studio that changed my body. After having worked with Jessie for three months I felt my body physically and mentally realize the work we were doing by the second session and everything changed from that point forward. I have lower back pain that waxed and waned for years and no modality that I tried seemed to help it. It wasn't until I committed to twice-a-week private sessions with Jessie that I found complete relief. I came to her with not only pain, but a very weak deconditioned body from a chronic illness, and slowly, week by week, we worked to get my body stronger and out of pain. Her style of teaching is easy to grasp and with a high attention to detail which is so important as you learn form in Pilates, especially recovering from an injury. After taking classes with various instructors, Jessie's expertise stands out and is truly unsurpassed in the Pilates community. Walking into the studio is always peaceful and inviting. I have also taken their smaller classes with Kristine over the years who is also an excellent instructor. I am so appreciative of the skills I have learned with Jessie and Zalla Pilates and have taken them with me to the West Coast. I can't say thank you enough.
A warm and welcoming place to improve strength, flexibility and peace of mind. Jessie Zalla and her merry band of teachers are kind, creative, precise and superbly knowledgeable about the mysteries of human anatomy.
The teachers at Zalla Pilates are well trained, professional, detail-oriented and very supportive. I've been taking both classes and privates at Zalla and the experience has been transformational for my body and for my personal awareness as I'm constantly practicing their postural advices in my everyday life. Thanks to the whole team I was even able to go back skiing after a lower back issue which was the main reason I started Pilates three years ago.
Jessie is a truly talented teacher. I came to Jessie over a year ago with a major injury. I was walking with a limp and unable to make it up and down my stairs, or walk more than three blocks (I'm only 38 years old). Jessie understood what muscles needed to be worked and strengthened, and created a customized program. A year later I'm walking without a limp, not only can walk but even started running, and I'm so much stronger and healthier. This studio saved my quality of life. I'm so grateful.
The trainers were amazing. I loved the personalized attention and the warm environment. I've tried a few different pilates studios in BK and this was one of the best experiences I've had.
