As a 72 year old women with many arthritic joints and multiple aches, pains and impingements that seemed to be an inevitable part of aging, her class was truly an eye opening experience for me. Never did I imagine that I could see such dramatic improvements to the functionality of my body so quickly or from such simple techniques. From that very first session with Liz, I noticed improvement.
As an instructor, Liz is thorough and consistent. She brings a warm respectful connection to her students, deep knowledge of the topic, and a strong personal conviction for the power of the MELT process.
Liz is simply a gifted teacher, collaborator, and a profoundly kind and gracious human. I give her my highest, most enthusiastic recommendation.

Liz is the one you want as your Pilates teacher. She comes from years of experience teaching in New York City and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to modifying workouts to my unique needs. I feel 100% confident I can share where I'm at on any given day and that it will be met with both expertise and empathy. She knows how to give a great workout, push you how you need it most, and also calm things down as warranted. As a professional dancer, Pilates helps me work out my asymmetries and strengthen all the missing links. Liz also offers Melt classes - I haven't had a chance to do a full session but it's definitely on my bucket list!

Radiant Pilates is the real thing! Liz has such a detailed understanding of muscles and fascia, and such skill with the techniques she teaches, sessions with her feel like some kind of wizardry. I came to Liz with chronic pain, and I rarely struggle with that anymore! I’m gradually retraining my body —and experiencing changes in my mind as well. For me, it’s a night-and-day difference between these sessions and the group classes I’d tried previously. She meets me where I am, and is creative about meeting our goals. Every session is an education. I learn a little more about how to strengthen efficiently while releasing stuck stress, to find more ease and pain-free functioning. It can be finely detailed work, and her keen eye, warm-hearted attention and sense of humor make our work together a pleasure.

“I love training with Liz. My mind is always blown in each session by the nuanced discoveries I make about my movement habits and possibilities for evolution. Liz is fun and has a keen eye for detail. I feel just the right amount of challenged in our sessions, and I love integrating the new discoveries and awareness into my body post session.” - Alisa Popova, 2021
"Liz is an amazing pilates instructor! For the first time in 4 years since my shoulder injury I am gaining full mobility, movement, and confidence. She is brilliant and pays careful attention during my sessions with her. I see her twice a week and every session is well thought out to accommodate my injury and/or imbalances that I may be experiencing. She knows when muscle tightness can be rolled or stretched, rather than just a work around. I have gained better range of motion which is also benefiting my other workouts and just enjoying life in general. My body always feels better after a session with Liz and I always look forward to the next.”
