Studio M Pilates & Body

Two really great and different classes this week! Cynthia was a substitute Pilates trainer and was every bit as good as any of the experienced professionals on their staff! Then this morning Sue gave us Gyrotonic pointers she's receiving from a Gyrotonic Master Trainer. Both classes were exhilarating! The value proposition Studio M offers is that they communicate with us clearly and correct us carefully, making every class rewarding. It doesn't get better than this.

I am so impressed with Studio M. I've been to other pilates classes and have never experienced this level of attention to detail, expertise and knowledge. As a new client, one of the first things the owner Sue did before our group class together was asked me if I had any injuries; I told her I sprained my ankle a few months back. She made a conscious effort to adjust my form and assist in specific stretches to support the proper healing of my injury. Her attention to every person and their needs in each class is incredible. I also had a 1:1 session with Sue for my sprained ankle -- her understanding of the body, its alignment and the implementation of healing strategies is remarkable. Studio M is such a gem in Sonoma and I feel fortunate to have found it.

I have been a client of Studio M for about a year and can solidly say they are the bomb! The pilates and gyrotonic instructors are knowledgeable, experienced and personable. The new yoga program is excellent, in a short time I have learned so much.

Finding a great Pilates studio in the Napa and Sonoma area is difficult, but training at Studio M should be your top priority. Go no further this is the pinnacle of perfection.

I'e been working out at Studio M for 22+ years...and I'm now in my early 70s!!! And aging quite remarkably!!

Without this incredible studio and its highly knowledgable, professional, and personable trainers, I would be NOT in the great shape I'm in today!!! I've had a number of broken bones, surgeries (incuding an ACL reconstruction in my right knee and lateral menisectomy in my left knee, a titanium plate in my right wrist), spinal stenosis and spondylolethesis! My orthopedist 9 years ago told me I should never do yoga, gyrotonics or many pilates moves; otherwise I would end up in a wheelchair wearing a diaper! If he could see me today!! Hmmmmmf to him!!

I love that the studio owner Sue Aslincontinues on-going learning/training session for the trainers, hiring various body work professionals ....this benefits all of us clients!

I can honestlyand proudly say: "BODY BY STUDIO M"!!!

I have been going to Studio M for over a year doing both private sessions, classes and massages. Everyone I have worked with and interacted with have been extremely helpful. All the instructors listen to my challenges and current injuries and create a workout that allows me the maximum strengthening and stretching, while protecting the injured area. I would highly recommend Studio M to anyone looking for a new type of full body workout.

I came to Studio M looking for Scoliosis care as my spine seemed to be contracting and my flexibility was compromised. It is very important to me to remain fit and continue to do the outdoor recreational activities that I love -- in spite of the severe curve of my spine. I began with several sessions with Sue Aslin, Studio M owner. She first assessed my needs and then did manual therapy by moving me in various postures and positions. Her knowledge of the body and anatomy are impressive and her intuitive sense was right on. I immediately felt looser. Sue designed a program specifically for me with personal training sessions with Krista (pilates) for strengthening, and Becka (gyrotonics) for mobility. She also referred me to a chiropractor who specializes in Scoliosis, and we through in some massage for good measure. I now have an integrated team that communicate amongst themselves and coordinate my care. Seeing any one or all of these truly special caregivers is well worth it. They are super mindful and I always feel like they have my best interest for improvement as their priority.

Next up, I plan to start classes to supplement my individual sessions. And shout out to Jane who has mastered the rubics cube of scheduling and always manages to find an opening just when I need it.

I would highly, highly recommend Studio M!

I've been taking Gyrotonic and Pilates classes since last December. I've learned so much and love their classes.
I gained so much core strength and spinal flexibility.
I really enjoyed their two free introductory clinics.
Highly recommend!!!!

You really can't go wrong with this beautiful studio. There's so many different types of classes offered with specialty clinics and private sessions . Pilates, yoga stationary bikes and I'm a huge fan of gyrotonics. It's difficult to find a place that offers this type of class, and have the gyrotonic towers. It's amazing! The instructors are experts! You will
leave feeling the best version of your self.
Thankful for Susan Aslin for creating an amazing healing space. Sonoma loves you.

Krista has accomplished more in a matter of weeks than 2 orthopedic surgeons, 2 podiatrists and a physical therapist have. She seems to have immediately assessed the issue that had been going on for 2 years and began focusing on that area. I am finally hopeful that there is relief in sight. Thank you!

I have been going to Studio M weekly for a private Gyrotonics lesson with Becka Shore every week. She makes the hours fly by, and my body feels tingly and stretched with the pleasure of hard work on the varied Gyrotonics machines. I had never heard of Gyrotonics before Studio M., but it is as engaging mentally as it is physically. Becka seems to have an infinite number of variations for everything and knows my body well. The studio is lovely aesthetically and the staff overall is wonderful! Highly recommend this woman owned business!!!!
