New to vinyasa but have enjoyed both teachers I've had; the flow and rhythm come naturally once you're in it. A few practical notes for newcomers: arrive 15 minutes early to claim your spot. Morning and early afternoon tend to be less crowded. Bring your own mat and two towels -- one for the mat, one to wipe down. Light clothing is a must, and pack a change of clothes if you run warm. Mats are available and towels are sold if needed. Cubbies for shoes and bags, plus a dressing room and bathroom on-site. Plans are affordable and worth it.

One of my favorite places! I always leave class feeling better than when I got there. If you're…read moreintimidated by pilates, don't be! Balance Point is super accessible, the classes are small (so you get individual attention and to keep it safe), and everyone is so supportive.

I had never done Pilates before and was not in the best shape, but I never felt intimidated or out of place. I took small group equipment classes 2x a week for 6 months. They rotate through the different pieces of equipment so no class is ever the same and because of the small class size the instructors are able to give corrections and help you do your best. If I still lived in Davis I would still come here.

I was looking for relief from PTSD and thinking about EMDR when a friend suggested that I try…read moreEmotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping. She said that EFT Tapping had helped her a lot, and that it might be more accessible, since once you learn the technique you can do it on your own without a therapist. In a few sessions, Kirsten helped me to completely overcome issues that I'm sure would have taken me many years to overcome in traditional talk therapy. Kirsten is a gifted healer with a compassionate heart and open mind. She listens carefully and is able to craft uniquely perfect individual tapping sessions. I have not only found EFT Tapping to be helpful recently, but I'm sure that it will be a tool that I can carry forward in the future. I feel very fortunate and blessed to have found Kirsten.

Kirsten is so supportive and gentle in her approach and she really studies the techniques she uses to gently lead you through and past your traumas so you can get more clear about what you really want in life. I have done so much therapy in my life. But Kirsten helped me clear traumas from my past in a relatively short period of time. Now she teaches Kundalini Yoga and that allows me to continue on my path of self-love. When I first started working with her ADD was really holding me back - I was taking medication for it. Now that I have cleared so much trauma I can literally think clearly and stay on task better. I don't have so much distracting chatter in my head. Abbie

I enjoy meeting people in classes too! I feel as though I've hit the jackpot with an excellent trainer and coach with small classes that don't feel overwhelming or pushy. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for someone trained, exacting and gives you a run for your money with your workouts!

She provides an amazing full body workout and helps you work with your body at your own pace. She first teaches you the basic fundamental exercises and how to use of the equipment but Laura's classic pilates instruction quickly develops a real awareness for your own body. You will learn to work with ALL the parts of your body (including the brain!) and even the transitions between exercises are important to keep the work one seamless continuous flow. And yes, you will sweat! It's quite obvious that Laura absolutely loves pilates and the great respect that she has for the classic pilates really shows. Also, the studio is clean, airy and has lots of natural light, and conveniently located in downtown Davis. 100% recommended!

I had a lesson with owner Laura Cotler, and it was one of the most eye-opening workouts. She spent a lot of time going over the fundamentals of breath work, alignment, and getting me comfortable with the equipment. It was a great mix of feeling like I could actually do some cool stuff already (shoulder bridges, anyone?) and realizing I was like jello in muscles I didn't even know I had. I really like Laura's teaching style, in fact she reminded me of my former ballet instructor. She was very confident and has an eye for detail that seemed intuitive. I can be kind of a sensitive flower when it comes to one-on-one training and she kept it relaxed and focused without pressure. She seems like a real person and not a crazed workout Barbie. She also addressed every one of my concerns I had that other yoga instructors, even physical therapists had blown off, like ankle pronation and hyperextension in my knees. I also love the free long sleeved stretchy black logo T-shirt I got with my first lesson! I wore it around town the rest of the day and felt super svelte. Some other cool things: 1. The studio is open and light with cork floors and feels and looks very clean. 2. Bathroom is clean and well-stocked. 3. Free 3 hour parking in the garage directly behind the studio. 4. Unlike yoga where everyone has to be silent squirrel, Pilates studios often have a couple private lessons and classes running at once without creating distraction. I don't like to do my workouts in silence. Makes me nervous. Unlike the gym though, everyone seems very focused on their own work. No "how you doin'?" 5. I bought a package deal for private lessons which saved me some dough. 6. Online booking for classes and private lessons. I scheduled another private lesson with Laura for next week and I'll be counting the days!
