praise for
The Pilates Lab

Sonja is a gifted healer, Pilates practitioner, and one’s true ally. Through her expertise, perception, and guidance I have regained and rediscovered my body and how I had become stuck, unaware of constant tenseness, and cut off through various sports and other injuries, misalignments, and protective compensations. When I first saw Sonja two years ago, I could not walk up and down stairs because of knee problems. I had serious low back issues and shoulder impingements.

Over a number of years I had tried a wide range of traditional medical and alternative health approaches, but I had not found lasting recovery or analysis and solutions that made sense. Working with Sonja has given me the path I sought for so long, and along the way I have discovered new, pain-free movement patterns, balance, mobility, integration, relaxed tension-free use of my body and spirit, and better breathing patterns. I am back playing competitive and social tennis, and working on my game, which I love most of all.

Sonja has long had a vision and a plan for my continued progress, and I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Sonja!
