Flying Squirrel Studios is the best place for pilates in the city. I've been taking classes and privates there religiously since the studio opened in 2018. Because the class sizes are super small, you can actually get personalized attention to master the moves and get stronger. Dani has an expert understanding of bodies and has helped me reach my goals for strength and flexibility.
I love how Flying Squirrel mixes aspects of aerial arts and martial arts into a traditional pilates class. The teachers keep it fresh and never boring. I'm so grateful for Flying Squirrel! I have been doing pilates twice a week with Dani at Flying Squirrel Studio since it opened. It's a beautiful space- open, airy and filled with light.

The Studio
Report
Flying Squirrel is a fully equipped, boutique Pilates Studio located in the heart of the East Village. We offer group equipment classes along with private, one-on-one instruction for individuals who prefer a more tailored workout. Private sessions are also appropriate if you are recovering from an injury or otherwise require special attention.
Why Pilates
Report
The Pilates method is designed to connect you deeply to your core structures, build strength and improve mobility in joints that become more vulnerable with age and overuse. Pilates gets its reputation for long lean muscles by bringing attention to the eccentric contraction of your muscles. Both concentric and eccentric occur within the method, but few methods bring such specific focus to this essential component of movement.
Meet the Owner
Report
Most new business owners carefully plan their ventures, sometimes for years-not me. I didn't have long to think about whether I wanted to become a studio owner. I had been an instructor with Sixth Street Pilates for several years when I found out it was slated to close and I had an opportunity to become the new owner if I acted fast.
