Banyan & Nomad Pilates

I began seeing Elena after a series of injuries prevented me from enjoying my typical forms of exercise (running, spinning), and I was eager to find alternative, healthier ways to build strength. I have learned a tremendous amount working with her - my body feels more connected and stronger than ever, with much more limited impact and no pain. Her attention to detail and meticulous care for the individual is unlike any instructor I have worked with in the past, and it allows for a truly bespoke experience tailored to your body’s needs. She knows how to push you when your body is ready for it, but also heal you when your body needs patience and recovery. Working with Elena is far more than a Pilates workout - it’s full body care for the long-term.

Banyan and Nomad is a one of a kind Pilates Studio. The instructors that work there are extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy and have a passion for what they do. Elena has been my instructor for over 10 years and I feel like I am aging in reverse. I now have more strength, more balance and I am in better shape. Elena customizes each session to what my body needs when I walk into the studio. If I walk in feeling injured or off balanced I walk out like a new person. Elena is a true treasure of an instructor!!

I have been working with Elena for years and she has changed my body and my life. No one does Pilates like her anymore. She is excellent. She strengthens and restores and utilizes Pilates in its purest sense. I couldn’t recommend her more. If you are in pain or recovering from an injury she should be a part of your healing process. If you need balance and toning she should be a part of your exercise routine. All around wonderful practice in a clean welcoming studio.

Working with Elena at Banyan and Nomad has been a life changing experience. It has been a journey of healing and body consciousness that has given me strength and balance in all my activities. Elena has taken me to new levels in Pilates with her positive encouragement and next level personal attention to my workout. I highly recommend Elena and The Banyan and Nomad instructors for an elevated Pilates education!

Elena and Jae have been helping me build strength and flexibility for long distance running. They are experts at their craft and clearly understand my needs and goals. Every session feels productive and personalized. I also appreciate their patience working with a first-timer. Highly recommend!
