I can’t say enough great things about Mascha at Private Pilates San Diego. She is incredibly thorough in understanding your body and truly meets you where you are to help you accomplish your goals. After having a baby, I was struggling to repair my body and fix my posture, and I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Mascha was so calm, patient, and understanding from day one, which made all the difference. After a year of private sessions with her, the results have been life-changing. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and doing movements I never would have imagined possible. Beyond the physical changes, Pilates with Mascha has completely shifted my energy, attitude, and overall quality of life—especially in my day-to-day life with my kids. She is so approachable and clearly puts an incredible amount of thought into every single session. The studio itself is also very calming and welcoming. I’m so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for truly personalized, transformative Pilates.

I absolutely love working with Mascha! As a chiropractor I am consistently impressed by her knowledge of the body and her ability to cue me in helpful and specific ways. I love the way I am able to connect with my body thanks to her instruction. Plus Mascha is so sweet and fun to spend time with, and the studio is beautiful and full of all kinds of cool equipment! I love my time at Private Pilates :)

I started working with Mascha after a surgeon recommended spinal fusion in my neck. I was in constant back and neck pain, afraid to work out, and felt disconnected from my body. Through working with Mascha, my pain is now gone — without surgery! She restored mobility I didn’t even realize I had lost and helped me feel strong, confident, and capable again. Every session is intentional and highly customized. She genuinely cares for her clients and is incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. She also works closely with an amazing PT team in the area and even came with me to an appointment to make sure every movement was safe. I can’t recommend her highly enough, especially if you’ve been told surgery is your only option or you’re afraid to move because of pain. She’s the best!!

I absolutely loved taking a private Pilates class with Mascha! She was extremely knowledgeable and did a thorough assessment to tailor the workout to my body’s needs. I really appreciated how clearly she explained the body mechanics, proper form, and posture throughout the session. I left feeling stronger, more aligned, and confident that I can apply what I learned to future Pilates classes. I highly recommend booking a session with Mascha, you’ll leave feeling incredible!

Beautiful studio, great atmosphere and I can already see results. Mascha is an absolute pro and so resourceful. You can tell she received extensive training in classical Pilates, so she is able to adapt to any level you’re currently at and anyone with medical conditions. Best Pilates in San Diego!
