  • "...her cardio workouts are exceptional, high energy and fun!!!"
    "You will get an amazing total bodyworkout....all the time -- her cardio workouts are exceptional, high energy and fun!!!"  Dee DelPadre Picone
  • "Pilates is addictive and so is Rebekah!!!”
    “As a mother of three young children, finding time to exercise is always tough...however,the energy Rebekah demonstrates in class and the workout definitely make it worth the effort!!! With Rebekah, I quickly learnt to really enjoy the physical and mental benefits of her classes. Pilates challenges my body to become stronger and more flexible and my mind to become more focused and positive" Irit Maor
  • "Long live to Rebkah! My spine and whole body becomes more flexible may be comparable to my childhood time, that is due to your yin practices! Keep sharing your practices! You are the Queen of yin yoga!!!" Yohannes Ayanaw “Dr” Habitu
  • “...ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body.”
    "I had never tried Pilates before, but one class with Rebekah and I was hooked! She gave me a much better understanding of not only the exercises themselves, but how they were benefiting my core, and ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body." Michelle Rhodes
  • "She is one of the most energetic, innovative and caring fitness instructors I have come across..."
    I have studied Pilates and been part of Rebekah's toning/fitness classes for over a year now. She is one of the most energetic, innovative and caring fitness instructors I have come across in 10 years of working out at gyms in Tokyo, New York, and LA."  Sheila Phalon
  • "Wow Rebekah! I had no idea that a Somatic Pilates Yoga session could also be practiced for fitness training and weight loss, until I practiced this one with you. This practice was a great way to reset both the muscular and neural systems. Thank you so very much “ Amardeep M D
  • "...she's always so upbeat and enthusiastic- you forget it's a workout and just have fun!"
    "I'm a big fan of Rebekah's Kickboxing and Step classes. When I first started, I was a novice to aerobics classes. My first class with her was a step class and I didn't know the first thing about it- what was a U step? a K-step? It was all foreign to me. I was a little nervous- I thought for sure I wouldn't know what to do and I'd make a fool of myself, but she explained everything so well, I felt like a pro! After that I was hooked! Rebekah is such a motivator; she's always so upbeat and enthusiastic- you forget it's a workout and just have fun!"  Kathleen LaVigne
  • "The results are unparalleled."
    "The worst thing about Rebekeh's abs class is how effortlessly she does things that put you in excruciating pain. That said, I have been consistently lifting weights and doing my own form of abs for 14 years and nothing compares to her class. She packs more into to 20-30 minutes than I used to do in three 30 minutes sessions. The results are unparalleled."  Chris Peel
  • "I feel I've worked hard, yet I'm energized to continue the rest of my day."
    "I have been taking taking Yoga and Spin classes from Rebekah since 2006. I find her classes inspiring and invigorating. When I come out of some spin classes, I feel winded (like I need a rest); but not after Rebekah's spin classes. After her spin classes, I feel I've worked hard, yet I'm energized to continue the rest of my day.
    Yoga is a true spiritual practice and having been a Syda Yogi, I can sincerely state that Rebekah brings out the spirituality fo the practice during her yoga classes. I especially like that she allows the class to set an intention for the class. That moment centers me and I am able to be present in the class. No matter how many people are in the class, she still manages to give personal attention. Due to her style of instructing, it makes me want to challenge myself.
    I miss her classes very much because she no longer teaches at NYSC north. I wish she would return; however, when she subs for any instructor, it's a treat!"  Sandy Singh
  • "...she inspires us to improve by her encouragement and empathy. We feel safe under her care."
    "For someone much younger, Rebekah knows how to connect well with the seniors in our Silver Sneakers classes. In spite of our perceived physical limitations, she inspires us to improve by her encouragement and empathy. We feel safe under her care. Her depth and breadth of knowledge (yoga, Pilates, aerobics, weight training, boxing, etc.), her preparation, her imaginative explanations, and her nuggets of wisdom are all woven into the texture of the class. But what I love is the accompanying music from her iPod playlist. It is always changing, appropriate for the activity and adds a very important dimension. We leave her class with an expansive feeling that we carry into our daily lives. And our bodies are stronger and more flexible!"  Eileen Julian
  • "Wow Rebekah! I had no idea that a Somatic Pilates Yoga session could also be practiced for fitness training and weight loss, until I practiced this one with you. This practice was a great way to reset both the muscular and neural systems. Thank you so very much “ Amardeep M D
  • “Flowing, Smooth, Strong. You can Feel the Energy.  Rebekah is in the house!!"

    "I had the pleasure of experiencing Rebekah's step and kick box classes and miss them dearly. They say everyone excels at something and Rebekah excels in many areas, with this being her finest. She is a born leader and has enriched many lives with her training methods. I wish she was back in front of my classroom, but realize that is being selfish, and there are many people out there who will be fortunate to have her help them reach their exercise goals." Paul J. Lotito
  • "Gracias teach! Tenés ese no sé qué que te queremos todos! Sos beautiful!!" Eleonora Arias Regalini
  • "Rebekah is a great instructor."
    "Rebekah is a great instructor. She is very knowledgable and always provides a challenging workout. I definitely recommend taking her classes."  Jennifer Jarmark
  • "...ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body."
    "I had never tried Pilates before, but one class with Rebekah and I was hooked! She gave me a much better understanding of not only the exercises themselves, but how they were benefiting my core, and ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body."  Michelle Rhodes
  • "Gracias teach! Tenés ese no sé qué que te queremos todos! Sos beautiful!!" Eleonora Arias Regalini
  • " I think it is a combination of her dedication and sincere interest in her student's well being..."
    "I have taken a variety of Rebekah's classes (pilates, abs, yoga, etc) over the last 5+ years and I keep going back. I think it is a combination of her dedication and sincere interest in her student's well being, coupled with the variety, intensity and great music that make for an incredible workout. I am consistently satisfied with every class and that is something I have never experienced with a single instructor before."  Alison Tamburelli
  • "You will leave with an extremely gratifying experience and be anxious to join her again."
    "Rebekah is an immensely encouraging and motivating teacher. She gives a very well rounded class. You will leave with an extremely gratifying experience and be anxious to join her again."  Amy Mancini
  • "...ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body."
    "Rebekah is an amazing teacher with lots of variety. My flexibility and mobility have improved greatly since trying her Yin Fusion and other pose variations. My forward fold, balance etc was non existent until I starting following her flows. I love that her sequences challenge me and offers other variations for different levels. As a truck driver I find motivation to incorporate stretching throughout my day. Maybe I can work up to trying her pilates class someday. "
    Will Medlock
  • "Best vagus nerve help there is"

    "Best vagus nerve help there is, she is so kind and gentle and it's just what I needed"   Milana

“Fascia isn’t just structural — it’s a sensory organ that listens and responds to your environment.”
“Strained fascia doesn’t need force. It needs safety, presence, and subtle movement.”

My classes bring these principles to life, combining yoga, Pilates, and somatic practices so you can move freely, release chronic tension, and reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence.

 

Discover your purpose, your “why.”

Whether you want stress relief, a daily somatic practice, or a deeper connection to your body and mind, I’ve curated practices designed to restore flow, release tension, and awaken your inner energy.
