Core Pilates & Pelvic Floor Health — Local services in Brookline

I highly recommend. It’s different to previous class-led pilates that I’ve gone to before and I’ve changed to it from another cardio and strength class.

First I love the stretching equipment! You really improve (with instruction) on how to get the body position and movement right to benefit the right muscles in the right place and how to align your breathing with these movements. A Pilates group class or app is simply not as effective here. I really feel I’ve been stretched to the max at a session without pain the following day.

Secondly I am not well coordinated ( mind and body not well connected which puts me off group classes) and so I’ve found Luz to be knowledgeable, observant, adaptable and patient so she knows when to change the instruction so I get it (!) and move my body to the right position etc., without me feeling like an idiot. I just find it more bespoke and attentive to my needs.

Finally, an hour of effective stretching and breathing with this method really sets up my attention and work focus for the day and along with my cycling and ‘zoe’ app eating is really helping me lose weight and shape up!

Highly recommend and costs well worth it due to the many benefits to me.

I have been going to Luz for private pilate sessions for about 2 years now. Doing pilates on the reformer is something I had always wanted to try because I thought it would compliment my fitness routine but it always seemed so daunting to me. Then I came across Luz who not only was a private pilates instructor but she also has a Kinesiology background, so I decided to give it a try ...and I have to say I am so glad to have found her.

Luz is a person with a very big heart and she has a very calm, peaceful demeanor to her. She genuienly wants the best for each of her clients and it shows with the personalized programs that she builds and modifies by her continuously observing your body movements and limitations. The most personalized touches she has is not only her frequent verbal cuing, but also her hands on guidance to make sure you learn the movements correctly and fully...she also doesn't let you cheat :). I not only enjoy my work out sessions with her but also the conversations we get to share when we have our time together. Luz is amazing so if you have been thinking about pilates and know all the benefits it can bring, reach out to Luz immediately...you won't be...

I’ve done a lot of PT and Pilates before, so I know how important two things are when choosing a trainer: motivation and precise cueing for proper form. Luz Miranda brings both with so much care and energy. 🙌

Since training with Luz, I’ve definitely felt that satisfying muscle soreness — but I’ve never once had joint or bone pain.

I’m someone who usually prefers staying indoors, but Luz’s classes have become a really special part of my week. Twice a week, I get to move, reset, and share lighthearted conversations — it honestly feels like a little healing break in my schedule.💗

What makes Luz extra special is how she tailors every session. On days when I’m low on energy, she adjusts with gentle stretches and mobility work. And when I’m feeling strong, she challenges me with fun, sweat-inducing circuits. Every session starts with a simple check-in, and that small habit makes a big difference.

I just finished my first 12 sessions, and although a part of me wanted to keep this amazing class to myself (😅), I really wanted to say thank you. Luz helped me reconnect with exercise in a way that feels encouraging, safe, and enjoyable — and I’m truly grateful...
