Two really great and different classes this week! Cynthia was a substitute Pilates trainer and was every bit as good as any of the experienced professionals on their staff! Then this morning Sue gave us Gyrotonic pointers she's receiving from a Gyrotonic Master Trainer. Both classes were exhilarating! The value proposition Studio M offers is that they communicate with us clearly and correct us carefully, making every class rewarding. It doesn't get better than this. read more

I have been a client of Studio M for about a year and can solidly say they are the bomb! The pilates and gyrotonic instructors are knowledgeable, experienced and personable. The new yoga program is excellent, in a short time I have learned so much. Finding a great Pilates studio in the Napa and Sonoma area is difficult, but training at Studio M should be your top priority. Go no further this is the pinnacle of perfection. read more

I am so impressed with Studio M. I've been to other pilates classes and have never experienced this level of attention to detail, expertise and knowledge. As a new client, one of the first things the owner Sue did before our group class together was asked me if I had any injuries; I told her I sprained my ankle a few months back. She made a conscious effort to adjust my form and assist in specific stretches to support the proper healing of my injury. Her attention to every person and their needs in each class is incredible. I also had a 1:1 session with Sue for my sprained ankle -- her understanding of the body, its alignment and the implementation of healing strategies is remarkable. Studio M is such a gem in Sonoma and I feel fortunate to have found it. read more

I'e been working out at Studio M for 22+ years...and I'm now in my early 70s!!! And aging quite remarkably!! Without this incredible studio and its highly knowledgable, professional, and personable trainers, I would be NOT in the great shape I'm in today!!! I've had a number of broken bones, surgeries (incuding an ACL reconstruction in my right knee and lateral menisectomy in my left knee, a titanium plate in my right wrist), spinal stenosis and spondylolethesis! My orthopedist 9 years ago told me I should never do yoga, gyrotonics or many pilates moves; otherwise I would end up in a wheelchair wearing a diaper! If he could see me today!! Hmmmmmf to him!! I love that the studio owner Sue Aslincontinues on-going learning/training session for the trainers, hiring various body work professionals ....this benefits all of us clients! I can honestlyand proudly say: "BODY BY STUDIO M"!!! read more

Studio M Pilates & Body - "Looking at the World with Fresh Eyes"!!! - Trainers Near Me - Sonoma, California

I have been going to Studio M for over a year doing both private sessions, classes and massages. Everyone I have worked with and interacted with have been extremely helpful. All the instructors listen to my challenges and current injuries and create a workout that allows me the maximum strengthening and stretching, while protecting the injured area. I would highly recommend Studio M to anyone looking for a new type of full body workout. read more

I came to Studio M looking for Scoliosis care as my spine seemed to be contracting and my flexibility was compromised. It is very important to me to remain fit and continue to do the outdoor recreational activities that I love -- in spite of the severe curve of my spine. I began with several sessions with Sue Aslin, Studio M owner. She first assessed my needs and then did manual therapy by moving me in various postures and positions. Her knowledge of the body and anatomy are impressive and her intuitive sense was right on. I immediately felt looser. Sue designed a program specifically for me with personal training sessions with Krista (pilates) for strengthening, and Becka (gyrotonics) for mobility. She also referred me to a chiropractor who specializes in Scoliosis, and we through in some massage for good measure. I now have an integrated team that communicate amongst themselves and coordinate my care. Seeing any one or all of these truly special caregivers is well worth it. They are super mindful and I always feel like they have my best interest for improvement as their priority. Next up, I plan to start classes to supplement my individual sessions. And shout out to Jane who has mastered the rubics cube of scheduling and always manages to find an opening just when I need it. I would highly, highly recommend Studio M! read more

I've been taking Gyrotonic and Pilates classes since last December. I've learned so much and love their classes. I gained so much core strength and spinal flexibility. I really enjoyed their two free introductory clinics. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Krista has accomplished more in a matter of weeks than 2 orthopedic surgeons, 2 podiatrists and a physical therapist have. She seems to have immediately assessed the issue that had been going on for 2 years and began focusing on that area. I am finally hopeful that there is relief in sight. Thank you! read more

You really can't go wrong with this beautiful studio. There's so many different types of classes offered with specialty clinics and private sessions . Pilates, yoga stationary bikes and I'm a huge fan of gyrotonics. It's difficult to find a place that offers this type of class, and have the gyrotonic towers. It's amazing! The instructors are experts! You will leave feeling the best version of your self. Thankful for Susan Aslin for creating an amazing healing space. Sonoma loves you. read more

I have been going to Studio M weekly for a private Gyrotonics lesson with Becka Shore every week. She makes the hours fly by, and my body feels tingly and stretched with the pleasure of hard work on the varied Gyrotonics machines. I had never heard of Gyrotonics before Studio M., but it is as engaging mentally as it is physically. Becka seems to have an infinite number of variations for everything and knows my body well. The studio is lovely aesthetically and the staff overall is wonderful! Highly recommend this woman owned business!!!! read more

I was fortunate to be referred to Madeline at Studio M. I met with her two times and then my care was transferred to Sue A. I was suffering from severe sciatica with concomitant pain. I also had spinal surgery a few years ago. My biggest problem was a failed Bunionectomy which required fixing my leftover and wearing a black boot for months. This was largely the cause of the Sciatica. Both Madeline and Sue gave me exercises to practice. Sue has continued my care and she is absolutely fantastic ! As was Madeline. Sue has worked on my body to cajole better alignment. She has also given me helpful exercises. For the first time in over a year,I feel improvement in my left leg and foot. Sue is also brilliant at giving invaluable feed back and metaphors for proper practice. I am so happy to have found Studio M and highly recommend it to people who have pain and body issues. read more

Studio M is my place of choice for Pilates. Madeline Black, the founder, gives me private lessons and has for years. BUT, the whole new team is fantastic. AND, they have Pilates classes as well as private lessons. It just doesn't get any better. And, Jane takes care of booking and guiding everyone thru the process to assure you that you have an instructor or class that meets your needs. Sonoma LOVES Studio M. E. Daly read more

I wish I could rate Studio M more than 5 Stars. I have been a client for over 10 years. I have severe scoliosis and disk tears. The trainers there have been life saving for me. They combine strengthening with release and functional changes where appropriate. The staff is very skilled, very professional and also fun to work with. I don't know what I would do without them. read more

I have taught pilates and movement for over 12 years. I meet Madeline when she was teaching down at Rancho La Puerta and the caliber and style of her teaching was unparalleled to anything I had ever experienced. I was visiting SF for work, and made the trip 3X to see Odile, one of the master trainers there at Studio M. Odile's skill with orthopedic massage to unwind years of old accumulated injuries and tension along with her knowledge of how to restore motion and function in the body using Pilates and Gyrotonic machines is absolutely amazing. As a very picky student, I would recommend this place hands down. Observing several of the other trainers in the studio it is evident that they are all top-notch. I only wish I lived closer, but am already making plans for a return trip this summer! read more

Studio M is a comprehensive environment offering several modalities of movement led by well trained and engaged staff. Having been a student of Gyrotonic and Pilates for 15+years at many different studios, I can unequivocally say Studio M is the best. read more

The best workout ever! Clean and very friendly. Thank you!
