Studio M Pilates & Body - Sonoma, California

Studio M is an absolute treasure. I have taken Pilates and Gyrotonic classes for years. Each class offers my body a new way to stretch, to strengthen, to move, and to age well. Sue, the owner, has done such a fantastic job of bringing in great, skilled and safety oriented and challenging teachers. I also love Sue’s classes because she is so detailed about ensuring you move properly, safely, and to the full extent of your own body’s ability. I cannot recommend this place enough - ALL FIVE STARS ⭐️

The level of client care at Studio M cannot be overstated! Not only do their trainers undergo continuing education, but the sensitivity demonstrated to the needs of each client in every small, intimate class continues to impress me. Combine Pilates with Gyrotonic training, take a yoga class, or simply spin -- Studio M offers each of us the best health and fitness knowledge that Sonoma has to offer!

I've been going to Studio M for almost 10 years. It's an amazing studio. The instructors are excellent - very knowledgeable and skilled in working with any physical issues you may have - in addition to teaching great Pilates and Gyrotonics classes. They have both private and group classes, and have recently branched out to include yoga and spin classes. Try it!

I have been a loyal customer of Studio M for 10+ years. I cannot imagine my life without them. From Jane at the front desk who is a master at scheduling to all the trainers I have worked with. They know the body better than any physical therapist and most doctors I've run across. I have scoliosis and I now have so many tools to work with to help with correction and pain. Also, if you just need a good workout they are the best-they have personal one on one training as well as boutique style small classes on the Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment. The space is beautiful, there is plenty of off street parking. Very, very highly recommended.

I have been going to Studio M weekly for a private Gyrotonics lesson with Becka Shore every week. She makes the hours fly by, and my body feels tingly and stretched with the pleasure of hard work on the varied Gyrotonics machines. I had never heard of Gyrotonics before Studio M., but it is as engaging mentally as it is physically. Becka seems to have an infinite number of variations for everything and knows my body well. The studio is lovely aesthetically and the staff overall is wonderful! Highly recommend this woman owned business!!!!

Sue Aslin and her talented and caring team at Studio M are an amazing group of professionals committed to each and every client's good health and well being. In my work with Sue - and in various group classes as well - we have worked hard to relieve the pain I experience from intermittent sciatica and build greater overall body strength. It took me some time to become confident on the reformer and gyrotonic machines, but with Sue's enthusiastic and challenging coaching, I now love both. My sciatica is virtually a thing of the past and I am incredibly grateful. Jane who manages all of the scheduling as only one part of her responsibilities at Studio M is a wizard and a gem. Give Studio M and the team a try - you'll be glad you did!

Studio M offers a unique environment where each of the trainers has masterful knowledge of the body and energetic systems. Having had a number of injuries over the years, I feel the practitioners at Studio M have helped keep me in much better shape than had I worked out at a regular gym. I feel much younger and healthier than my age. Body by Studio M! Thanks so much for your care and friendships!

First of all, just know, Studio M is without equal.

I’m a Gyrotonic® addict, beginning when the first Gyrotonic® tower showed up at Madeline Black’s home studio in 2003. I’ve been working with owner Susan Aslin as a private client for almost 9 years. And here’s what I have to say. There is NOTHING like it. If I walk into the studio out of alignment, particularly tight or stuck in any one area, Susan first works her magic, relying upon her vast expertise in body mechanics, manual therapy, and kinesiology, to straighten me out and smooth out the kinks. Through specific movement combined with hands-on and excellent verbal cues, she gets me in tip-top alignment. Then and only then do I begin the exercise program.

As a new client, my shoulders were locked up and weak, moving was painful and kinda scary. My upper thoracic was immobile. Now? I move like someone half my age. I’m stronger, fluid. flexible. Gyrotonic® keeps me moving, energetically and physically, with ease.

While I’ve bragged about my private sessions with Susan, I have occasionally trained with others and find that many of them bring their own expertise and innovative practices to the studio. You can’t go wrong!

Ah, and the classes...
