I first decided to try Pitaiyo to increase my flexibility after I recently became serious about improving my health through working out. I am not a naturally flexible person, and never have been, so this was a definite challenge. I had never tried yoga, pilates or tai chi before, so I was a little nervous, but the instructor immediately made me feel welcome. She encouraged me to do whatever I felt comfortable with and corrected my form in a very postive and motivating way. Initially I couldn't bend further forward than to touch just below my knees and now I can touch my toes. My sense of balance and overall strength is also increasing. This is definitely a workout that challenged and benefited me!

Hi Alex I am sorry this is late but I love your class so much I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity!

Pitaiyo is a class you won’t want to miss~ the music and feeling of relaxation prepare you for a great work out. Pitaiyo is a class that was new to me and now I look forward to it every week. I am stronger and more flexible than I ever imagined, its the perfect combo of mind and body. This class will challenge you but, it is geared for all experience levels.

Pitaiyo has become a core to my exercise regime. No matter how crazy my day has been, I can feel everything being lifted away and placed into perspective during my Pitaiyo practice. I leave the class feeling stronger, both physically AND mentally, and able to tackle the things that previously seemed overwhelming. I can't imagine my life without Pitaiyo , it brings order to an otherwise chaotic world! Thank you!!!

I absolutely love Pitaiyo; I've only ever missed one class and that was because of work. I work during the day so I go Tuesday evenings and when I see Pitaiyo on the weekends I get so excited. I love the mix of the workout and when I leave class I feel refreshed, calmed, worked out, and stronger (physically and spiritually) all at once. In short, I feel cleansed from the inside out. I can really see an improvement in my poses, flexibility, balance, and muscle strength and while regular yoga and pilates attribute to that as well I give most of the credit to Pitaiyo. Thanks for a great class and I look forward to many classes to come!

Hello Alex, Thank you for putting on a relaxing Pitaiyo class every Tuesday evening at American Family Fitness. I feel like I've had a massage at the end of every Pitaiyo class. No wonder it's so addictive. Keep up the good work!

I wanted to say thank you for creating this motivating, strengthening and inspiring work out. Back in March, I was stuck in a work and life rut. I was in the middle of my first year of teaching, and while I loved most moments of it, it did not realize how easy it was to get stressed and push my needs aside. After joining our gym and taking my first pitaiyo class in mid-April, I was HOOKED. Pitaiyo is one of the first disciplines where each week I leave in a greater state of universal harmony. It is wonderful how you are there just for you and for no one else. Pitaiyo is such a spectacular way to release not only daily stresses, but also strengthens your mind, body, spirit, and soul. I am constantly telling my friends and family that pitaiyo has changed my life, even to the self motivating statements at the end of class. I can not thank you enough Alex! Thank you, thank you.

Pitaiyo is my absolute favorite class of all time. I’ve been raised in a powerlifting, and working and sweating with high intensity, but Pitaiyo reaches, strengthens, and stretches my muscles like never before. I feel my muscles tightening and lengthening. Alex is an awesome instructor, very motivating and technically helpful and superior in her instruction.”

“Pitaiyo is probably the hardest class I have ever taken! It has helped me lose 60+ lbs. It is challenging and fun! Unlike before I got really bored with exercise classes, but this time I look forward to the beginning of class! Everyone should try it!”

Glad I finally got to take Pitaiyo with you. Ill be needing to work on my flexibility before I attempt a few of those level 4's. This was my first ever class that I have taken so I'm no expert on instructors... but you did a really great job. I slept like a baby later that afternoon.
