Noa and Pilates have truly helped me feel better!  

I work downtown in one of the "veal fattening pens", as Coupland so aptly refers to the cube.  Being tethered to the computer was causing a lot of pain in my neck and shoulder area.  Typically, I would get a massage and/or chiropractic adjustment and then I would feel better.  But recently, my pain had reached a new level and wasn't going away.  My chiropractor told me I needed to stretch and strengthen.  I tried on my own, but I needed help.

That is when I sought out Noa S.  I didn't really know what to expect from Pilates, but from the very first few minutes I began working with Noa I could feel all the tight areas opening up!  

Noa is super smart and really knows her stuff.  My hips are a tiny bit off, something that took me 35 years to discover.  Noa noticed this subtlety during our second session!  It is clear that she has a real understanding of the body and how all the muscles and such work together.

If you are thinking about Pilates, go to Noa.  She is: smart, intuitive, trustworthy, professional, nice and fun to work with - great!

"I started private Pilates sessions w/Noa a few years ago, and am a stronger person today from it. She noticed areas of my body that had some weakness and needed attention which I was not even aware of. Noa really "walks her talk" and is committed to assisting people in improving themselves"

"I trained with Noa for a year prior to giving birth to my 9 pound daughter. I guess I psychically knew that I would need the extra core strength to deliver my biggun and I asked Noa to help me get in shape.

Noa is a fantastic and intuitive trainer and prepared me well for child birth. I had no Pilates experience when we started and am now confident to take intermediate classes in mat, reformer and/or cadillac.

In addition to her Pilates training skills, Noa is also a really fun and easy person to be with - a bonus when spending quality time balancing on a ball or hanging upside down.

I highly recommend Noa Slemrod!"

"Noa Slemrod is an amazing pilates teacher.  I love taking classes with her.  She makes me laugh while she's got me sweating like a beast -- what could make for a better workout?  She's kind, thoughtful, and a core-strengthening-slave-driver all at once.  I needed to get myself into shape -- quickly -- in time to bike from SF to LA on the AIDS Lifecycle.  Noa saved me from a week of biking torture by whipping me into prime cycling form.  She immediately saw what years of biking has done to my posture and she guided me to correct it.  She also gave me terrific tips to fix other bad habits I fall into on the bike.  LOVE her.  She rocks."

"I took a Pilates/Yoga class with Noa for about 5 months, and I loved it!  Noa is patient, explains the poses clearly and gives individual help (physically and verbally) when necessary.  It was a pleasant, relaxing experience, and I got in great shape by going just twice per week."
