Mind & Body Pilates is a game changer for anybody who wants to feel amazing in their own skin. Yoomi is an amazing instructor and challenges me to push past my physical boundaries while also being mindful of my limitations.
Yoomi always spends the first few minutes of the session assessing your body and finding areas that are imbalanced. This is pivotal not only for having great form during the session, but also helps build your awareness in your day to day life and enhances the quality of life as you age.
Throughout our sessions, Yoomi guides me through each exercise and ensures that I am working out in proper form. After each set, she makes sure that you stretch and shake off your muscles in order to avoid cramping and enhance recovery.
By the end, I always feel sore and filled pride that I made it through another an intense hour of Pilates. Every. Single. Time.
Yoomi makes me feel extremely comfortable throughout our session, which is a pivotal quality for an instructor, in my opinion, because, like most people, I feel insecure about my body. If you’re like me, and you’re a little shy, book an appointment right now! You won’t regret it.
In fact, I recommended her to my friend, W, and we agreed that Yoomi is probably the best Pilates instructor in NYC. I highly recommend Mind & Body...
Read moreI can honestly say I've never enjoyed exercising until I've tried the personal classes with Yoo Mi.
I've tried other classes, such as yoga and barre, prior to finding this studio on Google Maps and have always felt that the instructors were not meticulous enough and that they were potentially opening me up to injuries. Yoo Mi is on a completely different level as an instructor.
As others have said in their reviews, Yoo Mi is incredibly knowledgeable in the areas of anatomy and alignment. On the first intro class, Yoo Mi was able to diagnose all the issues with my posture and create lessons that are tailored to fix said issues in an engaging yet challenging way. She keeps a close eye on my posture and my movements and will make adjustments based on my performance/condition for the day. I feel completely safe and taken care of while learning from her.
I've been taking classes 2x a week for a month now and the classes never feel dull - there's always an introduction of a new exercise to the routine and a multitude of machines to work worth. I've also felt my posture and energy levels improve. I can't wait to see what six months of...
Read moreDon't be fooled by the residential brick stone exterior. As you walk in the front door from the stairwell it looks like a legit pilates studio. Clean, bright atmosphere with all new equipment, and even a private locker room. I was impressed with Dr. Kim's approach of first analyzing my posture. I told her of my sports injuries and the parts of my body that chronically hurt. And she corrected my posture. Strange, but now, with the help of a skeletal figure, I understood what the correct standing posture is and how I should be pumping my legs when I run. (with the help of my hips) I feel like I'm walking funny, but when I was running today, I really did feel like I was getting more out of my strides.
Looking forward to my...
