Alina has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey postpartum. Her meticulous focus on form and the subtle and impactful micro adjustments she makes during my sessions with her are so helpful. Since beginning my Pilates journey with her, I've experienced a significant transformation in my core strength, pelvic floor health and posture.

Alina's dedication to her students' well-being is evident in her teaching style. She motivates you to push yourself but also prioritizes safety and progress.

She also incorporates restorative techniques during class which I always look forward to. I wholeheartedly recommend Alina to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and motivational Pilates instructor.

I took my first class today at Body Atelier and OMG, it was absolutely incredible! I was skeptical at first because I hadn’t had the best experience with Pilates before, but I was so excited to train with Alina. She’s very knowledgeable and caring—her class is effective yet fun! Oh, and the space is so cute and stylish. I can’t wait to come back! I highly recommend it to anyone who not only wants to train but also learn how to use their body the right way.

Alina’s studio is gorgeous and she is an amazing pilates instructor! I’ve taken both her private classes as well as her group classes, and have had great experiences with both. Alina provides hands-on corrections and really helps perfect my form. She’s so sweet and patient. This is a great studio for first timers as well as those who are more experienced. Can’t wait to take another class with Alina!

Training with Alina has been a game changer for my body and mind. She takes the time to check in with me before each session, ensuring a personalized workout. Alina’s corrections and visual cues help me tap into my body awareness and activate the right muscles (both old and new)!

She leads with kindness, patience, and humor, applying the right amount of pressure to push me beyond my limits. Thanks to Alina, I've seen significant improvements in my posture, my daily movements and approach to training. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to enhance their physical and mental well-being through Pilates.

So grateful to have found Alina. After going through chronic injuries for a couple years I've had a really hard time finding some form of exercise that helped me strengthen my atrophied muscles while being careful around my injuries. Alina is endlessly patient with all the tweaks I need, and always looking for creative ways to find exercises that help me progress. I have not felt this stable and confident moving in my body in years. This after being terrified of walking and reinjuring myself. Would highly recommend!
