After years of chronic foot and ankle pain, I finally found relief with Abby Stowe. She’s an exceptional Pilates teacher whose expertise, intuition, and positivity make every session the best part of my week.

Abby is amazing! She is an experienced teacher who is certified in classical Pilates and Eldoa, has an excellent understanding of anatomy and body mechanics and continues to study movement and breathing techniques to help her clients. At the beginning of every lesson, Abby asks how I am feeling, assesses my movement and tailors her teaching plan accordingly -- some days we do an extremely challenging full body workout, other days we focus on specific issues such as tight shoulders, balance or back pain. She always pays close attention to what I am doing, provides clear instructions/corrections and fully explains any new exercise (including why she thinks it will be good for me). I have been taking Pilates lessons for over 20 years and studying with Abby for over 5 years -- she is truly one of the best.

Abby is truly an amazing instructor. There’s nothing cookie cutter about her approach. Her vast knowledge of anatomy, Pilates, ELDOA, and total body synergistics, together with her keen ability to identify both the physical and emotional needs of the individual truly sets her apart. She’s simply outstanding and thanks to her I am still standing. Thank you, Abby, for all you do.

Abby Stowe is NEXT LEVEL! She uses a combination of classical Pilates, ELDOA method, myofascial stretches, and even breath work to customize exercises to fit my specific needs and goals. She is a gifted, experienced practitioner who has transformed my body. I cannot recommend her more highly!

There is a reason why so many of us have been with Abby for so long (I’m 15+ years and counting). She has literally transformed my life. Now — in addition to being pain free, posturally re-aligned and muscularly healthy — I am educated in ways I never could have imagined, enabling me to both understand and 'have peace' with my post-childhood-spinal-fusion body. FYI, I did not start this process w Abby until my late 40s, after nearly 30 years of living in ‘locked' positions. My doctors have been so amazed by my progress that they’ve asked me to speak with their other patients about it.

Abby’s knowledge, investment in her clients' health — and attentive and nuanced instruction — have changed my life in ways too numerous to express here. Her spirit is one of grace, ease and kindness, which is palpable in her studio and imbued in all who work with her. If you are lucky enough to benefit from her talents and expertise, I encourage you to DO SO!!

Abby is truly the best! She understands the body anatomies like a healthcare professional. She is patient, professional, helpful and hilarious. I found her 2 months before my wedding, and she helped me grow a little taller and have more definition in my arms for my dress. I am now working with her long-term to work on my hip/pelvic stability, and improve my overall alignment and fitness. She really is the real thing. So much passion and knowledge. Cannot recommend her more! And the studio is clean, airy and pleasant.

Abigail Stowe Pilates is an incredibly special place, run by a uniquely talented business owner. I have rented space here as an independent teacher for about 8 years, and could not be happier. The space itself has a ton of character and feels homey for me and my clients. Abby has the best equipment (Gratz and Pilates Designs) and keeps it in tip-top shape, and she makes it super easy to reserve space.

Abby herself is a super talented teacher who really walks the walk. She's well-versed in Pilates and ELDOA, and after many years teaching, she is still actively seeking out more knowledge to pass on to her clients. She also happens to be empathetic, patient, and kind, as well as effective. Truly the kind of teacher you want in your corner.

Whether you're a teacher looking to rent space, or a practitioner looking for a wonderful teacher, this is the place you want to be.

I started Pilates with Abby over 15 years ago. I had been doing PT several times a week for a few months for a shoulder problem. Abby and Pilates gave me almost immediate relief. I have not stopped seeing her since. She is warm, wonderful and really cares. Anyone that wants to learn Pilates should try this Studio and Abby. Studio is immaculate.

As an instructor who rents from Abby Stowe Pilates I would highly recommend this studio. My experience with this studio and with Abby herself has been nothing but great and I’ve been with Abby Stowe Pilates for going on 8 years. As a sole proprietor this is very important to me. Any client I bring in is impressed with how great the space looks, the breadth of equipment that is available and the friendly, no drama environment. As a renter this is one of the best environments I’ve ever worked with. I have had previous experiences at other rental studios where this was not the case, and it negatively impacted my business. But at Abby’s studio everything is easy and well done. You can see how Abby really puts care into her studio. I really appreciate how Abby is very responsive to my needs and any needs I have for my clients ( this place was top notch during the pandemic), how well the equipment is cared for ( very important to me as a pilates instructor) and how easy it is to book space ( very important to me as business owner). This has been exactly what I need as a renter who is a Private Pilates Instructor and a Trainer working to grow my business in NYC. I’d book now before it fills up.
