 What Movers are saying

"I have completely shifted the way I approach moving my body"

As someone who used to dread any form of physical activity, I have completely shifted the way I approach moving my body and feel as though my sessions with Emi are the best part of my week! Emi is extremely motivating, knowledgeable, and passionate, and the NYC fitness community is insanely lucky to have her. I talk about Emi to everyone I know and truly couldn’t recommend her enough.” - Amanda H.

“Emi is an incredible instructor. She is so warm, motivating, and clearly VERY knowledgeable. I knew right away I was in good hands and in only seven months, I feel and see such a difference in my body. She is professional, motivating, comforting, and she will make you work! She always does a fantastic job communicating the reason behind the exercise. Emi has helped me connect to my body in a way that’s truly special. Whether you’re new or advanced, you should check her out – she is amazing!” - Danielle O.
"It's rare to find an instructor who not only transforms your body but also uplifts your spirit in every class."

“Emi's digital studio has been a game-changer for me. The ability to access quality workouts anytime, anywhere has seamlessly fit into my hectic life. Additionally, as someone who's always battled with chronic tightness, Emi's classes have significantly improved my mobility, flexibility and posture, offering me relief like nothing else before. But it's not just about the exercises — Emi herself brings a unique energy to each session. Her radiant personality and humor add a delightful touch, making me laugh and smile through the burn. It's rare to find an instructor who not only transforms your body but also uplifts your spirit in every class. Emi does just that!” - Lucy R.
"Her welcoming approach makes her classes a standout choice."

“Emi's Pilates classes have been everything for me over the past few years. Transitioning to her digital sessions during COVID has significantly strengthened my body and improved its functionality. Emi's classes remain consistently challenging, offering great form guidance without being overwhelming. She caters to all levels, providing alternative moves for varying challenges, and her welcoming approach makes her classes a standout choice. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey.” - Jackie Z.
"Emi is 100% authentic, and her class is a magical place where I feel both safe and challenged. "

“Unequivocally the best. There’s no one I trust more than Emi when it comes to moving my body - in a wellness culture fraught with mixed messages & bias, Emi is 100% authentic, and her class is a magical place where I feel both safe and challenged. I’ve never felt stronger or more compassionate toward my body. She is seriously gifted at what she does. Her passion, knowledge, & care are beyond, and I love shaking, sweating & laughing in her classes. I’ve been taking Emi’s classes for over four years & I’ll keep coming as long as she’s teaching. “ - Jackie A.
