Testimonials

“I had the privilege of taking private lessons and group classes with Luz in New York City. Luz is an extremely talented Pilates teacher. She is keenly aware of each student’s needs, and comes up with solutions based on each individual’s strengths and weaknesses. Her classes are upbeat and she gives instruction in a kind and patient way. Her background as a professional dancer gives her an extra understanding of movement and posture. She helped to transform, heal, and strengthen my body.”

“Luz is a terrific Pilates instructor. She has an amazing combination of expertise, compassion and determination to achieve the best result possible. I am strong, flexible and pain free.”

- Mary Ross, Corrales, NM

“I’ve loved working with Luz to strengthen my pelvic floor after having my first baby! Not only is she super knowledgeable about what she’s doing, she’s also a mother who gets it that recovery takes time.  To me, Pilates is such a subtle practice that I don’t always notice changes or differences during a session, but after sessions I can actually feel my alignment and core strength. Thank you, Luz!!!”

- Quincey Krull, NY, NY

“Best. Ever! I have taken Pilates for about 20 years, mostly in the LA metro. I have had some excellent instructors. Luz tops them all. She has deep knowledge of correct form and broad training in movement that she incorporates into my sessions. When I was working with her virtually, I was amazed by her ability to see the smallest issues and communicate their correction. Working with her in person is well worth the added expense.”

- Karen Greer, Placitas, NM
