I've passed by the studio on my way to get thai food and saw that they offered pilates classes for…read moreseniors! This was so exciting because I'm a huge fan of pilates and wanted my senior mother (69 years old) to be more active and knew pilates classes would help with her knee pain, help build core strength and build muscle to prevent falling/injuries, etc. While I've always wanted to take my mom to pilates classes, it was hard for me to find something affordable. The only options were private lessons because group classes with a younger crowd wouldn't work for her level. When I saw that toe toe pilates offered group classes for seniors (4 sessions for $120), I immediately reached out to the studio and someone was able to help me schedule my mom in for a trial class. It was nice watching the instructor be so patient and gentle with my mom, who was new to pilates. She tried her best to explain every movement/exercise to my mom so she can follow along!! The studio is also very clean and well maintained, the equipment seems new!! I am so thankful they're offering affordable classes for our senior citizens so I can bring my mom :) Wishing my mom the best of luck in her future classes!!

I did my demo class with Crystal who really took the time to show me the ropes and help me know the inclusive history behind Pilates! I also did a regular class with her after to see how the information from the demo applied to a regular class and if it was a good form of exercise for me. Crystal really took the time to help me and she even gave me different exercises during the class that accommodated for my knee injury. I felt very seen, safe, and accepted. She was the one who made me want to get a membership because she was so welcoming and everything a teacher should be. I can really appreciate the management too. Though it was a brief interaction during the end of my class, they were so happy and welcoming as well. You can tell that this is a small business that really cares about what they're doing. It's always really enlightening to see. If you feel like you're nervous about Pilates because of the environment, then have no fear because everyone is welcoming here! 10/10.

I got there 20 minutes early and was the first one there so I could pick the reformer I wanted…read more When I checked in, the instructor, Adelene, told me I would be at the reformer all the way at the end of the class by the wall. I was surprised that reformers were pre-assigned. She introduced herself and was polite, but that's where the positives end. She asked if I had any injuries but didn't ask about my experience level. Class started and it was a horrible experience, poor instruction, poor visibility and lack of attention to the class as a whole. This class was extremely difficult to follow, and I couldn't keep up. The instructor focused almost entirely on correcting one student, while a few others got minimal direction. I wasn't helped or corrected at all, even though I was clearly confused. The instructor's voice was low and unclear, and when she demonstrated movements, she was often blocked by other students. She stayed at the front of the studio, occasionally moving toward the center, but never came to the back where I was. My neck started to hurt from constantly trying to see what she was doing. At one point, the woman next to me asked what she was saying, and I shrugged because I didn't know either.

I knew my hips were an issue but I had no idea how to get more flexible. Everyone is so welcoming and respectful. From the first session, Sunnie found the areas I needed work on. I stretched and strengthened muscles and ligaments I did not even know I had. She is always mindful of my little pain areas after intense training and she also address them properly and it makes me feel better. She is very detailed in her intructions and provide support for every single exercises. They are quite challenging but I always feel so light and rejuvenated after our session. I also grew an inch taller because of how well my spine has decompressed. My movement during training are more and more efficient and I am able to have greater body awareness. My home stretching is giving more results because my posture during exercise allows me now to go deeper into stretches without injury. I am very satisfied with the results so far. And also as a woman, I do feel a very deep release in my hip which is opening my femininity quite a bit. This is my 5th session and the benefits are endless to me. I'd say go in with an open mind and trust that you will be taken care of. Be open to learn and immerse yourself mind and body in the exercise as directed. You will reap amazing benefits. Thank you Let's pilates. I look forward to the continued journey.

From my first class, everyone was so welcoming and nice, which made starting out feel a lot less intimidating. The classes are amazing if you're looking for a workout that truly challenges you and delivers results. Every session pushes me in the best way, and I consistently feel muscles working that I normally don't target with my regular workouts. It's intense, effective, and leaves me feeling stronger every time. What I really love is how quickly you can feel and see progress if you stay consistent. I highly recommend Lagree 213 for anyone who wants a supportive environment, a serious workout, and fast results.

My first class was on Sunday. Adlai's 8:45am Mat Pilates class was top notch! I actually signed up…read morebecause of him and his class. His method of movement and instruction is high energy, intense postures with fluidity, and a bit of cardio to get the heart moving. I loved that he made us take water breaks, but not enough to bring the heart rate down. His dance breaks kept the energy up when I thought I might give up. It is a class to attend and he is amazing. My second class was on Monday. The structure and outline of the Ali's 5:15 pm Mat Pilates class was great. It's my first time for any Pilates class and I think this was closer to the traditional with a little yoga and cardio. It was intense and strong. The only thing I would have liked would have been alternative moves for newbies in class for some of the more intense plank work with lots of movement. I just did downward dog with a little walk or knee movement or stayed in plank, if possible. But I wasn't sure if that was correct to do in the alternative or if there was another move I could have done. A verbal confirmation or suggestion would have been great. She definitely knows the body and how to push it to the max level of tuning. I will take her class again, but I feel like I have to research some of the yoga/pilates terms to know what position she is talking about. She's an excellent teacher for higher levels. I'll get there one day. They are very different in their instruction, but both highly effective. Thank you both for the challenge.

The Vibe: Presence Begins Before the Mat…read more Sometimes the yoga starts before you unroll your mat: Parking. An out-of-order payment app. Timing. ‍ Then came the first interaction. A smile & question: "First time?" Another line of students began to form, but the moment wasn't rushed. Directions were given. Questions were answered. Full attention stayed exactly where it was. Looking back, the teaching had already begun. That kind of presence is contagious. * Field Note: Whoever is standing in front of you...make them feel like they're the only one there. (I've got some practicing to do.) The Guide - North Ray Flow 2: Áine O'Regan We began in Supta Baddha Konasana, connecting breath before movement. Áine set the tone: See if you can keep your breath as steady throughout class as it is right now. If your mind wanders somewhere away from here...bring it back to yourself, back on the mat. From there, the class unfolded in such a gentle climb that an hour felt effortless. The cueing was so fluid that as we repeatedly moved from Star Pose into Goddess, I disappeared into the rhythm of Levo (Club Edit) by Recondite. (Completely immersed.) They've found the Goldilocks of hot yoga: The heat, the lighting, the pacing, the music, the movement. Everything feels just right. (If you're curious about hot yoga, this is an easy studio to recommend.) The Tribe: Presence in Practice During my short visit, I noticed people holding doors for one another, making eye contact, and smiling. After class, when I asked Áine about the music, she didn't simply tell me the song. She walked me through Spotify until we found the playlist. Space & Place: Modern bohemian Exposed brick. Skylights. Warm wood beams. Infrared heat. You'll leave drenched...somehow more energized. The Takeaway: Presence Is Contagious I came in open to whatever surfaced. Tonight...it was presence. It began at the front desk. Continued with the breath. Ended in Savasana. Some studios teach yoga. Some embody it. North Ray is one of them.
