Lula Body Pilates

I sit at a desk all day and was starting to have terrible problems with tightness in my hips and my back going out on me. I tried pilates out of desperation, and Lula Body made a believer out of me -- a few months later, I was pain free. The group classes are small so you get lots of personalized attention, and all of the instructors are wonderful. I also have done private sessions with Tara the owner and they are worth it -- she is really amazing at helping you take the practice from the mat to the real world, and she helped me make some small tweaks in the way I use my feet that have made a huge difference. I can't sing enough praises about this place!

Lula Body has been so much more valuable than any PT I’ve found for my arthritic hip. The private sessions have been transformative in strengthening and awareness. All of the instructors have profound insight and talent for a variety of group offerings, as well. It is a real pilates body studio, with a friendly neighborhood client diversity. I fully recommend.

This review is long overdue! I’ve been a regular at Lula for the past two years, and it’s truly one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. I first started going for support and rehabilitation after a foot injury, working directly with Tara. She—and honestly all of the instructors—are incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve gained so much awareness of my body through my time with each of them. More recently, I did some prenatal 1:1 sessions with Ilana, and now I’m easing back into things postpartum. The Lula team has been so supportive in helping me rebuild strength and confidence as I heal and get back into my routine. Beyond recovery, their classes are also amazing as a regular daily workout—I always leave feeling stronger, more grounded, and more connected to my body.

A true neighborhood gem for pilates! Lula Body is a real treasure. Tara makes the studio so warm and inviting, and Kaitlin is fantastic — whether in private sessions or classes, she gives such great attention and makes every workout motivating. I always leave feeling stronger and better.- Judah :)

I wish I could give Lula Body 10 stars. Tara and this studio have completely changed my life. I have many issues with my body that always made it hard for me to work out and be active in general. Tara has completely reframed how I utilize and understand my body. She is an absolute gift and I feel so grateful to have found this hidden gem in crown heights. If you’re not sure about trying Pilates, go here and start with Tara’s class (although honestly everyone is great - you’re in good hands no matter who you see. Everyone handpicked by Tara and so sweet and good at what they do). You will not regret trying it I promise. Also SUPER affordable prices. The first time customer deal is crazy. There’s no reason not to try. 11/10
