VirGO | Private Pilates Fusion

I’ve always wanted my very own cashmere cocoon to wrap up in while meditating, to take naps and just relax. Well today was the closest I’ve come to being wrapped up in a cashmere cocoon. My private session with Christine was simply divine and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’ve only done pilates maybe once and that was a very long time ago. Upon arrival Christine and I sat for a bit and she asked me a series of questions as apart of the intake process. It was nice to be able to talk out my answers instead of filling them out on a long and impersonal form. Christine’s apartment is very cozy and I was relaxed the whole time we were chatting. As if that wasn’t enough, once the intake process was complete and we stepped into the studio I instantly became even more relaxed and extremely calm and comfortable. The studio gets amazing sunlight (which I l-​o-​v-​e) through the windows and the temperature was just right, especially on a chilly day like today. The aroma from the humidifier which I believe was filled with essential oils smelled wonderful and helped me to relax even more and this is all before we even really got started! Christine then hopped up into the silks and began to swing and asked if I’d like to swing. Of course I would! Swinging on the swings is still a favorite pastime of mine so I was excited to swing in the silks. I felt like I was 5 again! The warmth of the sunlight and my enthusiasm to relive a childhood favorite was just EVERYTHING I needed and some. After swinging for a bit, and becoming even MORE relaxed, Christine guided me into a position that just did it for me! I felt like I was wrapped in the cocoon I’ve been dreaming about all these years! And at the same time I was stretching my legs as well while being suspended in an indian-​style sitting position. I also got to hang upside down and really stretch out my spine, hips, and back. Oh! It felt amazing! Now it was time to get down to business on the pilates machine. The exercises I did on the machine were gentle but very powerful and I could feel the results. All throughout the session Christine would explain each position to me in detail and what it was doing for my body which was very helpful. She also gave me tips on how to improve my posture and daily tasks such as opening the door and walking down the street that won’t put so much strain on my body. Running around NY, up and down subway stairs, basically chasing down taxis to go to Brooklyn can certainly do a lot of wear and tear on not only ones body but whole being and Spirit as well. The techniques I learned today were such a relief and extremely valuable. Christine commented that she is an expect at relaxing people and that couldn’t be more true. Not only was my session marvelously beneficial for my body but I had a lot of fun too! I left feeling 10x better than when I came in. My energy level was grounded and balanced and I was just in a much better mood. If you are looking for a class or session that will not only give you a great workout but also calm your nerves and whole being, Christine is the right instructor for you! You will NOT regret it!!!

Before I started working with Christine five months ago, my only experience with Pilates was in a class setting. Now that I have been working with her one-​on-​one, I feel totally spoiled and don’t think I could go back to classes! In just a few short months, she helped transform my body and improve my posture immensely. Not only is she highly knowledgeable about Pilates and the human anatomy, but she has a very creative method of demonstrating correct form and how to properly execute the exercises.
Beyond her work as an instructor, Christine also just has the most incredible vibe as a person and exudes nothing but positive energy! Sessions with her are more than just a workout. They are very therapeutic and almost spiritually enlightening, as she is an extremely vibrant person with a great outlook on life. I leave each session feeling uplifted and energized in mind, body, and soul.
Would absolutely recommend seeing Christine!

I wish I had more rating stars to click than five! This woman deserves an entire galaxy. Christine is an intuitive healer who will absolutely impact the quality of your life from start to finish. Her supportive, and fun demeanor will allow you to reach the most energizing and exciting limits of your body through intelligent, and centered movement. Just. Do. It!

This was heaven! I have never done pilates or silks but Christine’s guiding me through it was so helpful! I never had a personal trainer explain what I should be doing and what muscles I would be using. And boy did I feel great after! Great set-​up too. Definitely a must and I am going back!
