I have taken public classes and privates with Elizabeth. She responds to where I am at the moment with just the right exercise. She keeps me moving with a pleasant "and, now with your arms overhead, reach up and...." just as one exercise ends, and I was thinking I was going to get to flop out for a few seconds. I had very, very little core muscle strength when I started. She encouraged me and helps me see my progress. She is always ready to go to the anatomy book and show me what's going on. She is a wonderful generous person, as well as a very supportive teacher. I leave class feeling good in body and soul.

I love Pilate's because it's not only relaxing but it is also a core work out. The teaching staff is very good here and the prices are exceptional. I would try it out if I were you!

I started taking mat classes with Elizabeth Walker at Bernal Yoga when it opened approximately 5 years ago. When she opened her own studio, Pilates Heights, I complemented the mat classes with private lessons at the studio. I feel that I have enough experience with Elizabeth Walker to state unequivocally that she is an amazing instructor. She gives clear, concise directions, knows the human body and has an organic approach to pilates training which works for the pilates initiate as well as for the more advanced student. Pilates with Elizabeth not only has resulted in improvements in my pilates practice, it has also made me a stronger yoga student and a better runner with fewer injuries. If you start with Elizabeth Walker, you will never stop

Hey, I don't see many of my "peers" in either Elizabeth Walker's group mat classes or at her private studio, Pilates Heights in Bernal Heights. By "peers" I mean slow, shlumpy white guys in their ... ahem ... mid-50's. But NEVER FEAR! Elizabeth is a wonderful coach and instructor, very patient, and really knows how to get the most out of her students. She's one of the most positive, gentle, yet productive instructors I've experienced. As a tall guy in my mid-50's, I have to confess that (even as a long time runner) I'd really been neglecting my "core". Elizabeth has brought an awareness, a simple discipline, and light at the end of the tunnel. I've noticed improvement in my yoga practice since starting regular (but not fanatical) piltates practice. And she'll work with your schedule (I travel a lot). I recommend Elizabeth Walker and Pilates Heights very highly! You won't be sorry.
