I have a lot of mechanical issues with my body, and she tunes my ass up. IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. She has trained me through bilateral rotator cuff injuries, SI Joint dysfunction, trigger points, and all kinds of injuries from falling on ice, snow, and the Market St Tour de FU. She always puts me back together to make me stronger than I was when I started. Haley is amazingly knowledgeable about anatomy and how the body works. She is patient and kind and funny, and she always brings me back to a positive place of love for this body that carries me through life. I appreciate VERY MUCH that she is body positive and focused on functional strength and athletic goals - not appearance or weight loss. Haley wants everyone to love movement as much as she does, and that's really the best kind of coach. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I'm a physical therapist who specializes in perinatal and pelvic floor issues, and I wish I could send all of my clients to Haley. She has a true love for movement and expertise that is contagious and has taught me a lot about how I can better work with my own clients (and my own body!). She is creative, passionate, and most importantly, gets amazing results! If you're ready to get curious about your body, have fun with movement, and feel better than you have in a long time, don't hesitate to contact her!

Sornam is AWESOME!!!!!!…read more So I've only started going there in the past two weeks (I had one introductory private session and one private session), but if you want to work on your technique in pilates and get helpful information on how to get rid of aches and pains in your body, go to pilates--GO TO SORNAM, who works at Pilates Partners! After my first intro session, I found out that the cause of my back pain was probably due to supination and my super poor posture. The intro session is to get a sense of your injury history and see what your abilities are in flexibility and other pilates poses. My first normal private session involved working a lot on my hamstrings, rotator cuffs, and upper body. Sornam will work you out according to your body's needs (injuries, weaknesses, and all). We did our warm up, crunches, stretches, a lot of foam rolling. Sornam was very helpful in telling me what I should do in terms of my workout. I've never gone to any pilates classes aside from the free one at the RSF, so I'm not sure if the price is considered high. The intro private session was $40. I got the 5 session private package for $285. I chose the private session because I want Sornam to nit pick at my technique. Though, if you just want a workout, you should go with the duet or trio sessions (they're cheaper); the instructor just won't focus intently on you.

I have visited several chiropractors, a number of physical therapists, and a couple of sports…read moremedicine specialists and I say Sornam at Pilates Partners beats them all. She is the only one to properly identify my back pain and correct it. After a sports injury that caused a burning pain in my scapula, every other person I saw focused on the locale of the pain; Sornam thought about the whole shoulder girdle system and gave me a series of stretches which targeted a different location (near the armpit), with amazing results. In just on session, she managed to relieve me of pain that I have been experiencing for years. I was sold. Now, through her exercises program, not only am I pain free in my upper back, but my lower back is much better and I have noticed an overall general improvement in my posture and health. On top of that, she is a wonderful person, full of wit and grace. I have also taken her class at UC Berkeley's RSF, where she packs them in to the tune of at least 200 people. She stillI manages to vary the class to individual needs and gives a great workout for multiple levels. I would highly recommend Sornam to anyone.

The classes are…read moresmall and intimate, which makes such a difference in the overall experience and level of attention you receive. Every instructor is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to understand, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. I joined as a complete novice never having taken Pilates before and I felt so welcomed and at ease from the start. The instructors are extremely detailed and make the smallest adjustments while explaining movements so clearly. Proper form is such a priority here, which made me feel safe and supported throughout my entire pregnancy. I continued attending classes through pregnancy and attribute a lot of my quick and easy delivery to the classes I've been taking here. Now I'm continuing my postpartum journey with them and feel just as supported as ever. Such an amazing studio and community!

I've had such a beautiful experience with Move With Studio…read more I began with a private session, and it shifted the way I relate to movement in such a grounded, supportive way. There's a level of presence and care from the instructors that you can feel right away. You're guided with attention and intention, so you feel both safe and gently encouraged to expand. Moving into the group classes felt really natural. Each class meets me where I am while also inviting me forward. There's a quiet strength in the space. It's welcoming, thoughtfully held, and allows you to turn inward while still feeling connected. I've also been pairing the classes with FST sessions, and that combination has been incredibly supportive. The stretching helps release what the body has been holding, opens up mobility, and brings me back into a sense of balance. It's a space that genuinely supports your growth, not just physically, but as a whole. Whether you're just beginning or have an established practice, there's something here that meets you and helps you deepen.

Earlier today I finished a 60-minute session with Kendal and I walked away better educated about neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR) and the benefits of helping 'dormant' muscles become an active contributor to your overall coordinated muscle movement. I've only had one session, but Kendal's approach did reflect what an NMR therapist ought to do given the research I did about NMR muscle testing. I've scheduled another session too. Overall, not a massage session, but I think NMR approach is the way to go to resolve a problem area that has always been a problem, but only recently (the last couple of years) has prompted me to find longer-lasting relief and increased mobility (i.e., ROM). Kendal is a great too!!! Explains what she is going to do and why and what I should feel in that particular area. Tips: Street parking only. You'll need to head to the back portion of the office building and head over to the elevator (opposite of the "Office" sign); you'll dial 219 on the touchpad by the elevator and Kendal will activate the elevator so you can take it to the second floor.

I've been doing weekly private pilates sessions with Kristin for several months and this review is…read morelong overdue! Kristin is just a great pilates instructor with a sincere interest in her clients' well-being. Kristin is incredibly thoughtful, and asks a ton of questions at the outset of your sessions to get you clear on your goals, (mine: build core strength!) and then continues to check in throughout your sessions to make certain that they are in line with your changing needs. Kristin also teaches yoga classes, so her knowledge of body movement issues is vast. She does group classes too ($35 a session), but for now, the super-tailored-to-me private sessions are just addictive! And plus, she gives a fat 20% discount for your first three private sessions! (They are normally $75 each, but with the discount, they are only $60. Ya, baby!) She gives excellent instruction... I started as a clueless pilates beginner and I'm a visual learner, meaning that in a private session without classmates to follow, I'd zig when I was supposed to zag. After sharing a good laugh with me, Kristen tailored her instructions to my learning style. She demo's more complex exercises so that we zip through the session. As a matter of fact, they are always over too soon! Where DOES that hour go? Kristin's space is great! Her studio is in her home, which gives your session a relaxed feel. And though I know sometimes people get turned off by the words "home studio" never fear, she controls the space really well... it's fully equipped with 'the reformer' and other gear, always spotless, it's separate from living space in her home, and it gives an utterly professional vibe. So here's the kicker... I'm a massage therapist, and I recently asked for a stack of cards that I keep in my massage studio. When I find clients that are more in need of muscular toning than relaxation, I refer them to Kristin because I want them to receive the same great work that I have.
