I worked with Ana for about 8 years before I moved from the Bay Area. When I first started seeing…read moreAna I had a lot of pain from old dance injuries which were made worse by sitting at a desk and driving in traffic everyday. We worked together once a week first building strength and "fixing" my ailments and then eventually working on maintaining great habits and my core strength. What Ana provides that I have not been able to find elsewhere is a keen understanding of the body combined with a natural instinct about how work, life, and personal habits effect one's overall well being. She not only focused on the physical therapy side of my ailments but also worked with my on sleep patterns, how I sit at my desk, what foods I am eating, etc. opening my eyes to the realization that I had to make changes in my life as well as continue to do my exercises and "homework." Ana also always took notes on what was happening with my body and would come up with customized exercises based on what was needed that day or based on what issues I was experiencing. Nothing is cookie cutter with Ana because none of her patients have the same issues and needs. Ana and I also worked together on several pole performance workshops. Not only is she an amazing pilates instructor but a gifted dancer and performer. I learned so much from her and am thankful for the performance opportunities I had working with her. And Ana is the most positive, reassuring, supportive, and encouraging person. She always finds a way to spin a negative into a positive but is tough if needed to make sure that you are taken care of. I wish I had an Ana where I am now but I am also thankful for all her help over the years and for helping me live better and want to take care of my personal well being!

I've dance and worked individually with the extraordinary Ana Hyatt for 3 years now…read more 1. She's a remarkable dancer 2. She has a comprehensive and keen academic and experiential underpinning for her work 3. She knows how to use her understanding of the fundamental elements of Pilates, Alexander technique, somatic experiencing, sensual movement and multiple forms of dance to bring core strength, flexibly, alignment and coordination to the most abled body, or one in need of deep healing. Ana has a calm, unpretentious understanding how our bodies work combined with a natural instinct about how our all our lives need balance to maintain well being. She designs movements tailored to your body, and your goals. She is a great teacher and gentle guide. Don't be fooled by her angelic presence. She can handle the most weighty of challenges, whether they be physical, psychological or intellectual. She brings the inner force of the masculine to match the outer brilliance of the feminine. I'd recommend working with or dancing with Ana any day of the week. Love this woman and her work.

I booked Jennifer for my family's annual 4th of July get-together this summer. Last year we did a…read moresound bath but this year we wanted something a little more active but still relaxing so I found Jennifer/Flow & Glow Yoga. She was AWESOME, FUN, and ENERGETIC and that accurately describes our experience. We had an AMAZING time. I had estimated 25-40 people, ranging from 20s - 60s, and all different levels (beginner to more advanced). After initial discussions, we settled on a beginner-friendly yoga with guided stretching and mindful movements. Her instructions were easy to follow especially because she gave us landmarks so we knew which way to face. She was provided mats and blocks for most of us. It was extra but very worth it since not everyone had their own yoga mats/blocks and most of us had traveled to get there. She and her partner set everything up beautifully and broke everything down so quickly. I was worried that it would be hard to hear her because we were a big group and outside, but she had a speaker system, hands-free mic and music! It was all VERY professional and spa-like with the aromatherapy and relaxing atmosphere. She corrected when needed, helped us in our stretches and poses, and provided a light touch massage. When I had mentioned that we were a competitive group (a weekend of pickleball, kickball, and other sports/games) and observed us during the session, she pivoted and made the session a little "spicier." It was challenging but in a good way. We were sweatin' and feeling the burn, for sure! We all had such a great time and were talking about it for weeks. Also, she had the forethought to ask her partner to take photos of us and shared them with us so now we have those fantastic memories documented for posterity. She was easy to work with, knew her stuff, and created such a wonderful ambience. I can't wait to do it all again next year!

I have been doing Pilates for the last 18 years. When I…read morefirst started, I had a private instructor. Then I started going into group classes that were closer to my house for convenience They were OK, but I never felt like I was getting a really good workout. About a year ago, I decided to look for a private instructor again. I am so thankful I found Ginny! The workout that I get from her feels like a true Pilates workout. She watches your form, comes up with different movements. It's ever changing. And what I had in the last 10 years of Pilates classes in comparison to what I get with Ginny. I have a complete body transformation!! And I'm not the healthiest eater. If you're serious about getting your body back into shape. You want more flexibility. And you want an instructor that really cares about you. Ginny is it!

I just took the Sunday Vinyasa Flow class and felt so inspired that decided to write this review…read more I'm a yoga newbie and has been constantly practicing at Couture for 2.5 months. Melissa's yoga class has transformed my life and how I see yoga. I'm able to do side plank now which would be mission impossible to me 3 months ago. Melissa is a gentle yoga instructor and gives clear and detailed instruction. She points out small details like "soft knee" or "feet facing the corner of yoga mat" during the yoga moves so it's very easy to follow. Melissa also changes up her yoga routine so I would never get bored even if I come three times a week. I've learned three different breathing techniques since then. At today's class, Melissa is very patient when she answered my questions on how to perfect my sun salutation moves. After her pointers, I was able to move seamlessly from underdog to jumping forward to the front of the mat.

The worst dance company in the country!! Luis is terrible…read more He's a very rude and arrogant instructor who has no respect for anyone but his own inflated ego. If you're looking for a prick who's full of himself just because he won a championship two decades ago thanks to his dance partner at that time, look no further...you've found it! There are far better dance companies and instructors out there in the Bay Area such as Salsa Mania and Eshale. I don't recommend Luis and his company to my worst enemy!

I am so happy I found this gem of a yoga studio in Pacifica! The drop in classes are only $25 each…read morewhich I really appreciated since not all yoga studios are so affordable. As a beginner I've felt each class has been accommodating and will give options for the poses that are more beginner friendly or advanced/intermediate if you want. I went to one of their sound healing events at Shelldance Orchid Gardens this last weekend and had a very magical experience. There was a stage with all the sound healing instruments such as sound bowls, drums, etc. and they even came around and played the sound bowls on each person. I can't wait to try out more events/classes!

UPDATE: I've posted before stating how friendly the instructors are and how clean the studio is but…read moreI didn't know how good I had it. The studio recently closed for about 10 days to replace the floor mats. While they were closed, I went to another studio in a nearby city to do Inferno Hot Pilates. It had a much larger space. I thought it was kind of neat, but I noticed that almost everyone did not speak to the person near them. During the class no one made any noises. There was no "hooting and hollering." Even when the instructor asked how everyone was doing, no one said anything. The classes were ok at first, but by the 3rd class it became boring. There are a lot of regular yogis at Sangha. We are friendly and we talk to each other and to the new people if they want to talk. If you're new, you're encouraged to go at your own pace. You rest when you need to rest. We also "hoot & holler." There's a lot of energy in the class that makes it fun. We get energy from each other & the good music. The more yogis there are the more fun it becomes. It doesn't matter if you're what type of body shape you have. No one cares. The regular yogis also come in all shapes & sizes. We're all just trying to be healthy & have fun. The studio is clean. The instructors are always cleaning the floor mats & mirrors. There's no weird odors. You will not be lying in someone else's puddle of sweat. The owners/instructors are super friendly. This studio is very welcoming.

I have been practicing with Jacqui for two years now -- she has a beautiful practice that is slow, methodical and informative. Through Jacqui's classes I feel that I have come closer to understanding the subtle body in poses. Her descriptive alignment and engagement cues enable you to really 'work' the pose and receive all the benefits they have to offer. Id highly recommend her to any level of students and any of your yoga needs!

Seh also wrote me a personal Happy Birthday card and had it hand decorated by one of her daughters and she hung a big birthday balloon banner in the studio for me. She treats me better than my own family! Taichi has a diagnostic phase; different than yoga. During the warmup phase the movement drills she teaches you allows you to diagnose where in the body you have less strength and flexibility. You can also detect loss of symmetry in balance. Very different than other forms of exercise. She also teaches you how to work on specific problem areas related to today's lifestyle like upper shoulders and lower back. These progressions are very different than traditional western based cardio and weight lifting exercise. Can develop a monitoring of your own body ad correlate it with the amount you sleep to tune your health levels. I can't get that by doing more miles on the treadmill. Very unique and talented individual. One in a million. She has world class talent; taught live in Chinese TV to millions of people and was practicing since 4. If you grew up in China you have seen he on TV. Incredible person. Polar opposite of the male powerful western martial arts instructor. Can't believe someone like this exists, very rare. Excellent teacher. Never met someone with this much range; able to customize to different groups so effortlessly. Her bio shows 20+ years of teaching experience and it shows in the sessions. She gave us 2 separate demos. Looks like what you see in the martial arts movies. When she throws a punch, the transition from standstill to fast motion punch is breathtaking. Can't replicate that on movies. They add sound effects which isn't the same as experiencing it in real life. The physical displacement and pace of the movement is not something most people can replicate, looks different when she does it. Definitely a special person. Worth the in person visit. From the awards she has won she is as famous in taichi as is Steph Curry in basketball. Very interesting. Not just the physical talent which makes a champion. Also maturity, mental toughness, and being a better person are all tools which are needed to be the best in the world. Many similarities to what Steph is like today. She is a world champion in what teaches and has won many competitions https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%90%B4%E9%98%BF%E6%95%8F/4753116 Incredible!!!
