I first started seeing Sophia almost five years ago after repeated problems with my lower back. I'm happy to report that in the past five years my back has not gone out once. Sophia has an amazing ability to see the tiniest movements in the body and how they affect the rest of the body. With private classes she tailors an exercise routine specifically to each person to address their needs and bad habits. Highly recommend Sophia and her team!

I've taken Face Pilates with Sophia Briegleb twice--I love it so much! Sophia is the best Pilates instructor/all around teacher I ever had. If only I lived in Denver, I would take every class she teaches. She is so knowledgeable about human physiology, and how all our systems work together, and this gives so much depth to the practice she teaches. Her instructions are easy to understand and her energy is warm and positive. I can feel her caring, support and enthusiastic, encouragement through my computer screen. Face Pilates is particularly helpful if you suffer from jaw/neck tension, stress headaches

After experiencing sciatica and pain in my feet, I hoped to ease my pain through Pilates. Having worked with Sophia during her training, I knew that her understanding of anatomy and the importance of form would be a great fit. Sophia worked with me to improve my bad habits and posture, and after a month of private lessons, I was pain free. Private lessons may seem like a big investment, but being able to heal my own pain has been priceless. I wish I could give Kinesis more than 5 stars!

When I met Sophia I wasnt new to Pilates or to virtual lessons. What made it special was Sophias encouraging teaching style, her attention to my body and its particular needs, her in-depth knowledge of anatomy and her ability to use Pilates as a healing tool.
Dont be fooled by the virtual mode, she sees everything and is able to make minute adjustment to improve my practice. I cant recommend her enough!
