Align Studio

After an emergency open peritoneal lavage surgery in 2024 I struggled with intense back pain for over a year. My doctor recommend I go to PT, my PT told me there is nothing wrong in my body and advised I stretch and exercise more. Pain stopped me from cycling for almost 2 years. I'm grateful I came across this studio, I have been doing Pilates twice a week and I feel I am getting my old confidence back. Masha is thoughtful and patient and helps me train to go back to cycling with Pilates. I highly recommend this studio.

I don't write reviews often, but Masha deserves all the praise possible. I researched every pilates studio in Flushing and decided to try out Align Studio first, and I'm so glad I did. I haven't even gone to any of the other places on my list because I'm so happy with my progress here. I haven't exercised consistently since pre-pandemic, so I have a lot of the usual problems from doing a desk job (and more). Since trying my first intro class, I've been going every week and have truly noticed a difference in my posture and mobility. Masha takes notes on my personal issues each session and caters her one-on-one classes to what I need and should work on. There's no pressure to work up a sweat or to attempt moves that I can't actually do. People who do come here should realize this is more clinical pilates, not your standard workout class. If you're serious about understanding your problems and fixing them, please give her a try. I've already recommended her to my friends personally. I know I'll be continuing my weekly classes into 2026 to continue building strength and increasing my mobility. Losing some weight (hopefully) doesn't hurt either.

It was an excellent class. I felt very relaxed afterward, and the tension in my muscles was relieved. The instructor was very attentive and able to address specific issues. The whole session was calming, and I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

She’s the best instructor I’ve ever had. I’ve taken many private lessons before, so I could immediately sense the difference after my first class with her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and tailors each movement to your body, preparing you perfectly for your class. I highly recommend this studio and Masha!

I suffer from fibromyalgia. Masha's patience and instruction has helped me feel comfortable moving again... Pilates has helped me reduce the amount of pain medication I take everyday, I am so thankful to have found this studio. I am always very excited for my sessions.. I couldn't recommend this place more
