Marissa is a wonderful teacher and holds space beautifully. The one on one Pilates session I took with her really helped me tap into my body in a new way and her yoga classes are a delight. Highly recommend!
This business is open. Marissa was on maternity leave and she is back in action. I have taken her group classes on the mat and personal pilates sessions on the reformer and she is both talented and skilled at making sure each workout is the optimum for your body. She is both compassionate and rigorous. I highly recommend.
Ive been seeing Marissa for Pilates instruction for about three months now and *SHE IS AMAZING* Her instruction is fluid, easy to follow, calming, and challenging, I truly cant say enough good things. Ive never felt so inclined to write a review but I must share - my time at Align with Marissa has been an exceptional experience! Ive also had the pleasure of attending a couple of her yoga classes and they are delightful
Ive been working with Marissa for two months and the changes to my body, as well as my mental health, have been dramatic. Ive never felt stronger, more grounded or as flexible. I highly recommend working with Marissa for anyone looking to take their work-outs (and well being) to the next level.
Love Marissas classes. Super challenging but super fun. And Marissa is great at modifying the poses to suit her class skill level.
Marissa is a fantastic instructor, I regularly take yoga and pilates classes with her and cannot recommend them enough. Over the last year the time I have spent in the studio with her has had a significant impact on my overall health and well being. Its also become one of my favorite parts of my week largely due to her great attitude, thoughtful instruction, and overall wonderful to be around personality.
Marissa is amazing! Ive worked with her several times in private Pilates reformer sessions, and cant say enough about her warm and thorough approach. She is patient and encouraging and understands the body, movement, and posture exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to refer anyone looking for postural balance, pain relief, increased range of motion, an approach to injury recovery, or just a great and even workout to visit her for a private session or in one of her group mat classes.
Pilates is transforming my body and I could not imagine a better Pilates instructor than Marissa Lueders. She pays tremendous attention to detail, gives clear and calm directives and holds a wonderful space for the work. I could not recommend this studio more.
Marissa is simply exceptional! She is insightful, intuitive and gifted as a guide to growing healthier in body and mind. She is also kind and funny, which makes working with her even more enjoyable. Each Pilates session with her is a powerful and joyous hour. It is work but it is also fun and that blend is particularly effective in building strength, creating a deeper awareness of the connection of body and mind and utterly obliterating stress. This is especially true if a session of Pilates is followed immediately by a little Reiki. (Highly recommended! The combination is really pleasant and nourishing.) If you would like to feel well and balanced, strong and stress-free then Align Pilates is for you. It certainly was a blessing for me.
Marissa is a tremendously skillful Pilates Instructor, Yoga Teacher, and Bodyworker. Her technical knowledge of postural alignment, balance, and the most effective ways to develop strength and flexibility are outstanding. Just as importantly, she provides an excellent blend of challenge and support in the way that she works with you - making sure all the exercises are a good fit. In my sessions with her, Ive always felt pushed to my physical and mental edge, but at the same time tremendously nourished by the balance and sensitivity she brings to this work. Highly recommended.
