I have been working with Apu for several years in a mat class and I know that I have advanced in my technique and strength as a direct result of that work. Her cueing ability is wonderful and even in a full mat class she is able to correct (shoulders down Susan) everyone.

Apu's pilates instruction over the past (eight ?) years has kept my aging body in good moving condition. Before every session she asks how my body feels and adjusts the routine to help alleviate my back pain and the effects of osteoarthritis while continuing to give me a strong core workout. She is sensitive to body changes and pinpoints areas that need correction. Working with Apu has kept me standing straight and feeling energetic.

I am a devoted fan of Apu for her combination of passion and discipline (and wry sense of humor) that she brings to every mat session over the last 4+ years. Her ability to identify and coach has always kept me focused and motivated. She has advanced my practice and commitment to Pilates, which has transformed my body and awareness to it. I recommend her enthusiastically.

A few years ago I discovered Pilates when I took my very first mat class with Aparna (Apu) and absolutely loved it! She has a wonderful approach to introduce advanced movements in a very simple, effective way! Aparna pays individual attention to everyone in the class, creates very comfortable environment. By taking her class you 'll realize that your body can do much more than you actually think you can, as Aparna always keeps her class challenging! She is a very knowledgeable and talented teacher! I've been taking her classes for years now and always enjoy!

I had had a myomectomy, a twin pregnancy, a singleton pregnancy and two C sections.  I had done a great job dieting and jogging and lost all my baby weight.  But with my youngest already three years old, people were giving me their seats on the subway, women were asking me when I was due, and one woman even pulled over to warn me not to breath the fumes while filling my car up at the gas station!  I contacted Apu for help.  My torso was deformed when I first began private training sessions with Apu.  Within 3 months, I could wear a t-shirt and jeans without feeling self conscious.  Now, after 2 years, I am grateful to say I have a shape and, more importantly,  a strength, I didn't even have in my 20's...
