Rosie Yoga and Pilates

I have been a student of Rosie’s in Pilates and most recently experienced a Thai massage session with her. Rosie is an extremely positive, nurturing and supportive teacher. She has a fantastic knowledge of anatomy and movement and is wonderfully gentle and attentive in one-​on-​one sessions. I was not sure what to expect from Thai massage, but I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived to Rosie’s studio to find a serene atmosphere with candles, soft blankets and relaxing music. For the next hour and twenty minutes, Rosie carefully massaged various areas of tension in my body, using acupressure points as a guide. I carry stress in my upper shoulders and back so we focused on that area at first. Using passive movement, she carefully arranged my body into various poses, supported by soft pillows and mats. With Rosie’s assistance, my body was guided into deep relaxation and I was able to release tension, breathe into tight spots and stretch compressed areas. Each area of my body was given the right amount of attention. At the end, I also received a scalp and neck massage with essential oils. Hmmmm… yes. This experience is HIGHLY recommended. I will definitely be going back.

Rosie is a pure lovely Thai Massage practitioner. One session in her warm, calm space, and I felt restored and open, as though light and space were poured into my body. She worked through my pain points with such a sense of ease and kindness. I will definitely be going back for more. I also highly recommend Rosie for Pilates. You will be giving your body, mind, and spirit the nourishment it needs.

Rosie was my first pilates teacher and I’ve been a convert ever since. I never thought I’d find a form of exercise that I love as much as I do, not to mention the benefits it’s had for my stiff lower back, and Rosie played a big part in the process. She’s a great teacher, with the right amount of instruction/​correction and demonstration. Her classes have always been fun and varied, and the right amount of challenge for my changing ability.
I also recently went to Rosie’s studio for a Thai yoga massage. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was hugely relaxing. Rosie puts your limbs in various yoga poses (while you’re lying down) and then massages your pressure points using essential oils. Her studio is very relaxing and she has a lovely warming blanket if you start to get chilly. After my massage I had the best quality sleep I’d had in a long time.

When I have the money to spoil myself, I indulge in a massage. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about a Thai Yoga Massage. I envisioned myself having to put energy in… maybe have to hold a plank for awhile. I was delightfully amazed!!! I was passively stretched and my tight muscles slowly worked on. The studio is quaint and inviting. soft music, scent and candles. When I left, I felt like a new person!!! Can’t wait to go back!

I am a beginner with Yoga and Pilates. Rosie has made this the best decision for improving my health, mental clarity and of course an improved physical appearance. I look forward to our weekly sessions. My sessions are targeted to my specific needs. She is very knowledgeable and professional.

Rosie has been my yoga instructor for almost a year now. She is incredibly supportive and professional as she puts me through our weekly private lessons. She is flexible when my schedule requires me to move our standing session as it often does. If I keep up with yoga training it will be because of Rosie.

Whether in her own studio in Ocean Hill or in your own home, she will tailor both yoga and pilates exercises for you.
She is not one of those yoga teachers who show off how well they can do it, leaving you feeling clumsy and hopeless. She is upbeat and motivating for beginners, and for star students looking for excellence.
Patient, encouraging, kind, fun, she designs a well rounded plan suited to your individual needs.
