To me, QBP is the ideal exercise class– accommodating, body positive, accessible, and really just a chill environment to stretch and sweat and build some strength. I look forward to it every week!

Sofia is a conscientious and intuitive instructor, who leads class with a clear sense of responsibility, while honoring each practitioner's instincts, knowledge, and autonomy. These sessions have been such a wonderful container to explore alignment, sensation, and detail– all bolstered by the feeling that each movement decision is coming from a place of attention and care.

I love Sofia's class! The movements are slow and deep, and her teaching is precise, challenging, and supportive. I feel stronger, more coordinated, and more relaxed after each session.

As a massage therapist, yoga teacher, and person with chronic pain, I am picky about the folks I let in when it comes to moving and bodywork. Sofia is extremely knowledgeable about the body and how it moves. The energetic cues Sofia uses are very skillful and help me move from a place of ease and strength. I leave their classes feeling strong and ready to face my day. I cannot recommend her enough!!

These advanced classes give me space to feel little body shifts in big ways. I really appreciate the visual imagery cues and use of props to support familiar movement pathways in new ways.

I am a reformed Pilates hater! I was on record saying you would never find me in a Pilates class. But, Queer Body Pilates changed that! Sofia's practice has helped me repair my relationship with movement and my body. I am more flexible than ever before in my life and I look forward to learning about how my body moves and how I can teach it to move better or differently. I tell everyone I know about QBP, I truly can't stop talking about the massive benefits it's had on the last 6 months of my life. I also love the variety of class/practice styles and opportunities, giving me the ability to go deeper into my personal practice and challenge myself further.

Sofia offers caring, empathic, and intuitive guidance. Sofia doesn't rush through the lesson just to get through it but adjusts to my needs, curiosities, and discoveries. I was happily surprised to find a pilates class with a practitioner who could answer every question I have without hesitation. Sofia doesn't simplify the language or treat me with kid gloves but instead explains with enthusiasm.

My bodymind is genderqueer, hypermobile, and sensitive to exertion. Before all these arose to the forefront, I was an athlete. I lost trust in my bodymind when I became sick.
Sofia supported me in getting back in my body before and after top surgery. She accompanied me with patience, kindness, and skilled expertise through the restoration of trust, safety, and joy in my bodymind. I cannot recommend her enough.

I joined your online video library 2 weeks ago and just want to say thank you! As a mom of a young child, it's SO convenient to be able to do them whenever I find the time, and it is SO good for my body and mental health to be able to do a thoughtful, stabilizing, strength, AND heat building class! One week I did 6 classes! I’m just so appreciate your thoughtful, CREATIVE, challenging classes, and you clear and simple marketing for them. I donno, I guess what I'm saying is...I'm a fan!
