Pilates on Hudson

Marilyn is very good at figuring out the best way for your specific body to get the most out of Pilates. She sets your level after a series of assessments, and adjusts the practice according to what is best for you. Her goal for you is lifelong, pain-free movement.

Marilyn is nothing short of amazing! After four long months of physical therapy with NO improvement, she was the first person to give me real relief. Her NKT techniques, while they almost seem magical, are deeply rooted in science and expertise. I was blown away by how quickly I felt better—after just one session, the relief was noticeable and lasting. Marilyn has a unique ability to understand the body and tailor her approach with precision. I can’t thank her enough and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of genuine, life-changing care.

Marilyn has been a wonderful Pilates instructor and has helped me progress so much in a year. I started coming to her because of a partial shoulder tear, and I’d done PT for months and months with no improvement. After a year of Pilates and NKT with Marilyn, my shoulder pain is gone and I’ve gotten stronger in every way. I’m sold for life. As long as Marilyn is here, I’ll be on her calendar!

Marilyn is a fantastic Pilates instructor with incredible expertise! Her ability to combine Pilates and neurokinetic therapy is unique and abundantly helpful for therapeutic recovery and managing a healthy exercise regiment. She truly teaches you to mentally connect and understand your body so you can execute the Pilates techniques for optimal results for strengthening and flexibility. The environment and individualization she provides makes a significant impact on overall health especially if have any physical ailments that Pilates can help with then this is the place for you.

Marilyn is really, truly amazing. She’s the real deal when it comes to Neurokinetics and Pilates, and if you deal with any sort of chronic pain/muscular issues or any injury, she is far superior to any physical therapist you could ever hope to go to. Pain that I began suffering from when I was a small child and worsened by the time I was in my mid teens has now been completely erased and only the mildest of tenderness still remains in my neck as I continue to work with her and iron those out as well. But my life has completely changed from one that was completely limited and ruled over by the ebb and flow of my pain to one where I can actually function as a healthy, conductive individual with a renewed sense of hope for my future.

How I met Marilyn was that one day my Mom suggested I try Pilates, and with everything I was dealing with, I felt that anything could be helpful so I was willing to give it a try. My family found Marilyn‘s studio and I scheduled my first visit with her. I had been dealing with serious chronic pain in my back, shoulders, head and neck all my life, to the point that some days I was completely bedridden and couldn't move due to the pain. It's important to understand that to appreciate the full “wow” factor of all this: in one visit and with a single set of alignment exercises and muscle relaxation techniques (specifically around my jaw) I’d say about 90% of my pain and issues were completely alleviated. Extreme tension in my jaw caused extreme tension in my shoulders which by extension caused extreme issues in my back and the muscles overcompensated and overworked themselves constantly to the point of spasming. From the second session onward, I learned techniques to help with my lower back and stomach muscle area that led to me, as of this writing, having never had another back, leg or head spasm again. And right now we are currently working on strengthening my core and helping with my neck which tends to be the place where I (and many people) hold a lot of stress and muscle tension. But the significance of this is, my life changed drastically even after a single visit. Marilyn was able to analyze through watching the way I walked, sat and generally moved around that something was very off about my neuromuscular system and she was equipped with the exact knowledge needed to help me.

I’m so grateful to Marilyn for all of her years of study and development to become the amazing and incredible resource of help and healing to people like me. If you suffer from any pain, injuries or other physical issues I implore you to give Marilyn and her incredible Neurokinetic Therapy and Pilates treatments a try. It is absolutely worth your time and she’s absolutely the real deal.
