Patricia is a knowledgable instructor with all the professional techniques. She can really manage your pain and know your body better than yourself. Besides, Patricia is such a nice and warm person and makes you feel very comfortable. She is definitely the best. I strongly recommend for anyone who wishes to do pilates. I just look forward to each session with her and I am so glad that I chose here!

I came to Patricia with a number of ailments like an inured foot tendon and a hernia after my pregnancies. Patricia has been absolutely amazing in helping both problems. Her exercises are completely tailored and no matter where I have pain that particular day, be it in my shoulders, neck, tendon or back, she is able to fix it within 1 session. My foot has healed completely and my hernia has improved dramatically and visibly. Patricia possesses the rare gift in my opinion (having tried many pilates teachers in London) of being both incredibly knowledgable about the body and about pilates. This is

I came to Patricia with a quite specific physical therapy need - she immediately understood and blew me away with her ability to explain my challenge anatomically / identify what specific muscles we needed to target. After only 5 sessions I can see a huge difference of strength and flexibility, both where I needed PT and also in general. She is fantastic at explaining how to properly do various Pilates exercises, and is also great company!! Pilates Vita is a truly proper Pilates studio, with great teachers and a lovely environment

I highly reccomend this studio, I have been practicing reformer pilates for over 10 years and recently got into Cadillac Pilates and this place is truly top notch! The space is beautiful and filled with light, it is also kept super clean. The machines are the best quality and then there is Patricia Phebo...an amazing professional and the heart of this place. She is a true expert, in 5 minutes she understood all of my injuries and needs without me explaining anything. I look forward to training with her every week
