Anastasia is not just a Pilates instructor she incorporates methods from various modalities (yoga, ballet, calisthenics) directing exercise to target areas of concern with a holistic approach. She truly listens to your concerns and formulates a plan, and meticulously monitors your movements. She has helped me build a solid foundation of Pilates principles. The best part is my workouts are low impact, fun, and build mind body connection, with results that have exceeded my expectations!

My experience with Southern Oregon Pilates has been nothing short of transformational. Within a short time of starting to work with Arianna, I began to feel so many positive changes in my body and mindset. These changes have helped me regain confidence around my ability to improve my mobility, find balance in my body, and have peace in my mind. I am so grateful for the team at Southern Oregon Pilates; they are incredibly knowledgeable and collaborative- this precious work translates to an improved quality of life!

My sessions with Arianna are invaluable. She is quite simply the best trainer I’ve ever had: extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, and creative. Having been through major surgery, I especially appreciate her ability to adapt exercises so I still get all the benefit while accommodating my constraints. Her training as a physical therapy assistant is also a great advantage. Ari is a kind supportive person who is committed to bringing out the best in her clients.

Debbie is an amazing person. She has all of the attributes of an excellent teacher: knowledge, caring, attentiveness, creativity, motivating, patience, confidence building. Her extensive knowledge of all types of Pilates exercises and human anatomy allows her to provide varied and interesting classes to all skill levels. Debbie is extremely effective at working with clients who have injuries, teaching them modifications to Pilates exercises that help them during their recovery. Every time I attend a class with Debbie I feel energized, happy and very lucky to have Debbie as my teacher.

Debbie Richter is an outstanding Pilates teacher and mentor. She has vast experience in Pilates and weight training. This is coupled with excellent knowledge of muscle anatomy and physiology. Her gym is very well equipped, allowing her to develop individualized, creative and varied programs. Debbie’s keen eye in assessing one’s form, and her mindfulness of any injury, create a fun and rewarding exercise session every time; and her warmth, encouragement and enthusiasm add to our very enjoyable sessions.

The quality of Kate’s instruction of and passion for Pilates is top notch. Kate’s classes are also fun! Through her instruction and guidance I’ve learned new ways of thinking about my body, my posture, and my movement patterns that have fundamentally changed my life for the better. I experience less neck pain and migraines, improved spine health, and a new way of relating to my shoulders and ribs. Pilates is awesome and you’re in for a caring, competent, trustworthy, and fun experience with Kate.

After doing Pilates with Kate for one year my chronic neck and SI joint pain are completely gone. She's incredibly observant and in tune with exactly which exercises can help and how to do them correctly. I've been an athlete my whole life but I've never had core strength like I do now.

Southern Oregon Pilates, with Debbie Richter at its helm, is the definitive Pilates training center! Great instructors who focus on the individual needs of each client whether in a class or private instruction. It has been the significant factor for me in maintaining strength, flexibility and overall good health. Absolutely love it!!!

Megan has been an essential part of my conditioning, strengthening and rehabilitation needs for the past 7 years. She is a former professional dancer and understands body mechanics like no one I’ve ever met. I can’t say enough about her tremendously versatile skill sets and how important they are to meet the needs of each of her clients. Love her

Megan is amazing! I started out unfit and new to Pilates and now I am stronger than ever with less pain! Megan taught me how to get the most from the Pilates movements without aggravating my joint issues. She also helped me understand how my posture, movements and muscle strength can help protect my body going forward. I am so grateful for her upbeat attitude and thoughtful instruction.

Debbie has established an outstanding Pilates studio that features knowledgeable instructors with a collective mission and vision to ensure quality and cohesive instruction. How fortunate we are to have SO Pilates in the Rogue Valley. Best part…I keep getting stronger and more flexible and my balance is back. All continue to improve…all cause for elation! Bonus – I have a greater understanding and appreciation for my body. It is truly a miracle machine! And I can truly say, Pilates has changed my life!
