I have spent my entire life exercising in one form or another and as I age, I recognize the importance of strength training, improved posture and flexibility. Natascha is not only professionally trained as a physical therapist, she is a certified STOTTS pilates instructor. I have never felt better. I only wish I could be privately trained by Natascha everyday. Don't wait another moment. Call her. I recommend a private session or two before joining a class. She is keenly aware of the musculoskeletal system and can help you with pain, range of motion and strength training.

My God mother practiced Pilates well into her late 80's and was very graceful and strong. As I reached my mid 60's I needed to up my game physically. I was healing from a knee injury and I needed physical therapy that took into account my whole physical being, not just the knee!
I searched for a Pilates studio in Las Cruces NM , and I was blessed to find Natural Movement Pilates. Natascha Preiss is heaven sent. I am a transformation in process, more flexible, more endurance, and building strength. Chiropractor, Massage therapist and Doctor are impressed with the transformation.

Natascha Is an incredible instructor. Not only is she a lovely person to be around, her cues are easy to understand for beginners (it was my boyfriend’s first time!), her pacing is on point and her class is challenging but not straining. (As an instructor myself I felt challenged and taken care of!) Great focus on alignment as well as the individual’s level of fitness and comfort with each move. Natascha has also created a lovely community around her Pilates practice. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.I can’t wait to come back to Las Cruces and work with Natascha (and her new Cadillac

There aren't enough words to explain how awesome Natasha is. She takes time to listen to her clients and to understand their needs and limitations. Shes never intimidating, infuses humor and makes learning SO EASY. Natasha has created a calming, nurturing, non-judgemental atmosphere that allows you to be yourself. My sessions with my Pilates partner Debbie and Natasha are as much mental and emotional therapy as well as physical. I leave each session energized and uplifted. Natasha's main commitment is passing on her knowledge of Pilates and a healthy lifestyle. I sincerely mean ever word in this

I’ve been going to Natascha for at least three years. She is very knowledgeable about pilates and exercise in general. She learns what limitations you might have and either works around them or finds methods to work towards remediating them. She is truly amazing and I highly recommend you try her studio!

I am so glad to have found this studio, and Natascha! From our first one-on-one, I knew I was in good hands. Natascha is well-trained, experienced, warm, and welcoming. She really listens to and engages with each individual to help them meet their goals. I have loved the reformer group class, and feel challenged each time. I'm also feeling stronger and healthier; these classes anchor my week and encourage me to be mindful of taking good care of my body each day—I'm attentive to my posture, getting some exercise daily, eating well, sleeping, managing stress. Pilates helps with it all!

I recently moved to Las Cruces and started searching for a Pilates teacher. I’m so happy I found Natascha at Natural Movement Pilates! Natascha is a maestro at Pilates, movement, anatomy and teaching. She pays attention and works with each person in class at their individual ability. At 66 I feel confident to continue my personal challenge of strengthening my core with Natascha guiding me.

I have been taking weekly private mat classes from Natascha for six years. She is an amazing teacher. Her background in physical therapy enables her to customize workouts according to the needs and limitations of her clients. Her advice has helped me through various knee and neck injuries--I always feel better when I leave. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is always learning. She loves what she does. I can't imagine a more competent Pilates instructor! And on top of it all she is an incredibly nice person. I recommend her to everyone I know!!
