I found Christmas a few months after moving to Placer County (about 5 years ago). The group classes available in the Auburn area did not fit into my schedule. Christmas offered training outside normal working hours. I am 63 now and have some issues with back and nerve pain, and well…. Other areas as well. Christmas ensures that the exercises I do will not further aggravate my injuries. Plus she’s a great person to work with overall! Thanks Christmas.

I have had a sincerely wonderful experience with Christmas the last 2 years. Postpartum I had pelvic floor, lower back and sciatic/SI joint issues. I was in a lot of pain, a lot of the time. Christmas is truly gifted at holding space for the ups and downs of recovery. She’s supportive and motivational in a non-judgmental way. And, I’m in a much better place physically than I was - the strength I’ve gained, and more importantly the understanding of my body, has been so valuable. I’ve now started to dabble into other forms of fitness again, like my pre-pregnancy years, and I’ve been successful solely because of my experience with Christmas. I highly recommend this business for anyone looking to recover from injuries or gain strength.

Christmas is absolutely incredible! I have been working with her since I was 18 months postpartum and through my subsequent pregnancy. After my first pregnancy I had DR and was unable to regain function of my core. After working with Christmas, my DR is healed and my core is stronger now than it was prior to pregnancy. I have recommended her to friends in different stages of pregnancy. She is so knowledgeable and really challenges me. I enjoy every session I have with her.

I came to Christmas during my first pregnancy. I had previously been very active- although never having practiced Pilates- and was looking for a professional with prenatal experience. I quickly realized how much more Christmas has to offer than pregnancy-safe exercises. Now fast forward 3 years and I have two young children. Christmas has seen me through both pregnancies and postpartum periods helping me to connect to my body and build strength and confidence in and out of the studio. I cannot recommend her enough!

Two years ago, I began experiencing back pain after having my second child. Diagnosed with diastasis recti, I sought a pilates instructor who could provide a personalized approach to healing. After some research, I found Christmas, and it's been an amazing journey ever since.

Christmas' dedication and focus helped me achieve results beyond my expectations. Starting with a weak core, I could visibly see improvement within a year. Pilates with Christmas isn't just about exercise; it's about feeling empowered in my own body. The healing process takes time and patience, but seeing the progress makes it incredibly rewarding.

I had a great experience working with Christmas. After taking time to check in with me about how I was feeling and what I was hoping to focus on in the session, Christmas chose exercises specifically for my body and needs, starting with decompressing my spine. Midway through the session I could feel the difference of having more mobility and space in my back. Her knowledge and expertise, gentle and informative touch, and generally calming and thoughtful presence made for a fantastic session.

Excellent private Pilates instruction in a lovely, clean studio space. Christmas Somers is knowledgeable and supportive as an instructor and even offers video tutorials to support your practice throughout the week. She offers specialized Pilates instruction including postpartum corrective exercises. Grateful I found her studio and services.
