What Our Clients Say

“I’ve been going to Spark for more than 2 years now with Dervola and Halyna. I was able to learn a deeper and more holistic form of pilates, the classical method, which I didn’t have the chance to during the 10 years prior practicing “pilates”. Going to them on a weekly basis helped relieve my brain fog, migraines, inflammation, back pain, other long covid symptoms and postural misalignments. I am grateful they exist! They are both skilled architects of functional and therapeutic bodyworks :) highly recommend!”

“I’ve had an incredible experience at this Pilates studio! Dervola, my one-on-one teacher, is fantastic!! Her guidance has significantly strengthened me, even through injuries! The other teachers I’ve worked with are equally skilled and passionate. The studio is very welcoming atmosphere that puts you in the perfect Zen state for a great workout. Highly recommend!”

Aaron O.
“I just took my first ever pilates class and I would say I couldn’t have taken it from anyone better than Dervola the owner herself. She is very educated about the history of pilates and is very passionate about teaching her clients the philosophy of pilates and how to apply it to your everyday life. She was super friendly and warm, and made getting into the art super fun and interesting! I totally recommend coming here whether your a newbie like me or a pilates warrior.”
