Watta is gentle and yet can kick my butt! She is so good at encouraging me to push just a little more and then suddenly it's over and we are on to the next exercise. She can focus on a particular area of interest (e.g. arms) and give you exercises to do at home or she can just take charge and exercise everything.
I've sent my mom her direction as well and she's super good with seniors and people who have lower energy levels.
Definitely give her a try if you are looking for a personal pilates trainer. Her classes are also good.

Watta has something for everyone. No matter your activity level, she will gently guide, encourage and challenge you. Her classic training in Pilates is extensive and she can modify anything. And before you know it, you are stronger than you ever thought possible. Thanks Watta, you have changed my life.

I have been taking private Pilates classes with Watta on a weekly basis for the past 4 years. I can now pick up bags of groceries, go to yoga class and garden without hurting myself. I have gone from living with a high level of daily pain and structural instablity to being pain free the majority of the time. My sessions with her are one of the highlights of my week. In my professional capacity as an acupuncturist, I refer my injured patients to her on a regular basis and always get great feedback from them about her work. Her place is centrally located in Sebastopol and easy to get to. She

The Pilates Box is THE place to learn true, authentic Pilates. I started studying with Watta, the owner, about 4 years ago and have seen amazing results. She's a gifted teacher and her studio is a gem, set amongst redwood trees.
I've taken Pilates lessons with many other teachers but none has been as good as Watta.
If you want to learn Pilates, feel better all over, have great posture and a great body, go to The Pilates Box.
