Fantastic studio, fantastic instructors! I started Pilates about 6 months ago and I'm absolutely addicted. Such a great way to strengthen and tone without injury or undue pressure on your joints. The instructors at Pukka are well trained and the studio/class size is limited to 5 students so you get a very hands on approach. Anna is a great instructor and keeps a watchful eye to ensure proper form. She's also extremely patient and helpful to new students. So glad I found this studio!
