The Pilates Apothecary is an exceptional place to help/heal your body. I was visiting from out of town and scheduled with Ashley. She was extremely responsive to my emails on scheduling and what I was looking for with a private lesson. I was in awe of her technique. Her attention to detail is superb, correcting my position and even changing it for me to get the most from it! She is very visual and noticed issues with my body that I wasn’t quite aware of and promptly addressed them.
I had purchased her 3-lesson special and was very glad I did. When I come to Austin, I walk a lot. This time I walked a record number of steps/miles!!! I have no doubt this was due to Ashley’s skilled knowledge, giving me the best stretching exercises on the reformer, pilates chair and floor!
Her studio is warm, cozy and inviting. You have Ashley’s undivided attention and knowledge. There is no uncomfortably of others watching and you can ask as many questions as you need. She encourages you to share your thoughts, what is working and not, so she can help you the most.
Also, Ashley provided a tea she had created and it was very good. This is amusing to me, because I do not like tea. Yet each day, I drank it all.
Ashley really seemed to care about helping me! I miss Austin so much and that is because I miss how great I felt after my sessions with Ashley! I highly recommend trying “The Pilates Apothecary”.

Working with Ashley has been so wonderful! As someone with hypermobility, her wealth of knowledge and willingness to adapt has made me feel super comfortable to speak up if something isn’t working for my body. Her studio is so cute and she’s a wonderful host as well as instructor. I couldn’t be happier and am so grateful to have found her, she’s exactly what I was looking for!

I’ve had a lot of Pilates instructors in my life, but I was very impressed with Ashley’s eye for detail and expertise. She didn’t let me get away with incorrect form. I really appreciated her care for my Achilles tendinitis. I recommend the Pilates apothecary to anyone who is seeking to develop course strength, and/or has an energy injury that they might be working through.

I had my first session with Ashley today, it was a blast! I can’t believe how convenient the location is, just east of downtown. The studio is so cozy and beautiful. I love Ashley’s vibe and she made pilates approachable and fun but somehow I’m still so sore the next day. I’ll be back :)

Ashley is an excellent Pilates instructor.
My wife and I have taken three years of private sessions with her. I like how Pilates emphasizes a mind/body connection, and Ashley has an easygoing attitude about exploring the activities that are right for each person.
As I got more comfortable with the techniques she was teaching us, she guided me through some increasingly challenging exercises. One of my favorite things is how I learned to do an "arabesque" dismount of the reformer that built on a lot of my learned skills to get to an advanced technique. The variety in her lessons always kept things fun and rewarding.

I've been taking pilates weekly with Ashley for the last month or so, and it's the best! This is my first time ever doing pilates but Ashley makes it not at all intimidating and super comfortable. She has a really wonderful way of explaining things to help you make adjustments or be more aware of your body. The reformer has been so much fun to work on, especially the jump board, and even when things are challenging I'm still having a good time. I've definitely noticed over the last month that I am generally moving around better and getting a little more flexibility/less pain in areas I have trouble with. She asks how I'm feeling in my body and tailors what we do that day for what seems most useful, and I always leave feeling good.
Other than the pilates themselves, Ashley's space is really cute with lots of natural light and I've never had any issues parking - lots of space really close to the door. She always has a cup of a different herbal medicinal tea set out when I get there (they've all been really good!) which is just such a nice way to start. And Ashley herself is an extremely knowledgeable instructor while still being super friendly, silly, and enjoyable to be around. I'm really glad to have started here!

My husband and I took couples’ Pilates sessions with Ashley for about three years, and we can't recommend her highly enough! She knows how to create a structured, well-rounded workout while also tailoring sessions to her clients' experience levels and needs. Some days, I’d come in with a specific request, and she’d adjust on the spot while still ensuring we got a great workout—it’s truly impressive. I love the jump board, my husband loves the orbit, and sometimes we’re in the mood for chair, mat, or reformer—Ashley does it all.
Ashley has a great eye for detail and is fantastic at correcting posture and body placement, making sure every movement is both safe and effective. Her ability to explain and demonstrate exercises would quickly help us understand how to engage the right muscles and get the most out of each session.
Beyond her expertise, Ashley has such an easygoing personality that makes every workout enjoyable. I’ve had instructors who are too peppy (think SNL skit) and others who lean too much into the meditative side—Ashley strikes the perfect balance. She’s energetic, knowledgeable about yoga and mindfulness, but when it came to my Pilates sessions, she picked up on what worked for my style: straightforward with a bit of humor.
Whether you’re new to Pilates or experienced, she knows how to challenge you in a way that feels both supportive and motivating. We always left our sessions feeling stronger, lighter, and grateful for her guidance.
If you're looking for a skilled, thoughtful, and personable Pilates instructor, Ashley is the best!

I really love this cute little studio! As a yoga teacher myself I really appreciate that Ashley has a background in both Yoga and Pilates because her cues speak to me in a way that helps me go further faster in each of our sessions. I love that I get herbal tea with every session! The studio’s cute and cozy and she’s a calming person to be around. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about how to strengthen my feet from our sessions as that’s one of my goals. I highly recommend the studio to anyone looking to work hard in a calm environment.

It’s rare to find such a high-quality experience that’s also reasonably priced. Highly recommend to anyone looking for expert instruction in a welcoming space!

Pilates Apothecary is seriously amazing! The instructor, Ashley, is the best guide and makes everything feel doable, even for me who is totally new to this. I’ve learned so much about my body and feel stronger in my day-to-day life because of it. Plus, it’s totally reasonably priced. The studio is in the heart of Austin and easy to get to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality Pilates without the pretentious vibe.

I just had my first two pilates class with Ashley and she's made the whole thing so enjoyable.
As an instructor Ashley, is so welcoming and disarming, I felt very comfortable working with her. I've never tried reformer Pilates so I wasn't sure what to expect but her guidance was super intuitive and she made it fun! I've already noticed a difference in my flexibility after just two sessions.
Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a more customized and private pilates experience. The location was also super easy to find right in downtown Austin on 6th street.

I had my very first Pilates experience with Ashley at Pilates Apothecary, and it was fantastic! I felt incredible afterwards. Ashley is incredibly knowledgable and skilled in the way she teaches. She gives undivided one-on-one attention and helps you make small adjustments to improve your form with each movement. Her new space is cozy and inviting, and she has cultivated a safe & welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ folks. I highly recommend Pilates Apothecary!

As a Pilates newbie, I can’t imagine a better way to learn! When I arrived, Ashley greeted me with a customized tea blend 😍 She listened to my unique health concerns, and created a movement experience tailored to my needs and goals. The whole time, she was so encouraging and made helpful suggestions to improve my form and address my postural imbalances. It was challenging, but not overwhelming — she was so good at meeting me where I was at! I left feeling stronger, more peaceful, and more connected to my body. I can’t recommend Ashley’s 1:1 Pilates Instruction enough!!!

I appreciated Ashley's personalized attention to my form and progress, which made me feel confident and motivated throughout the session.
