The ambiance at the facility is fantastic: clean, welcoming, and well-equipped. However, my experience with Coach Alex was disappointing. I found her approach to be unprofessional and lacking in engagement. If you're looking for a coach who’s attentive and motivating, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

I cannot recommend Leslie at Lalita Method highly enough! She is a truly fantastic Pilates instructor—classically trained with a deep understanding of form, movement, and progression. Her programming is consistently challenging in the best way, pushing you to build strength, control, and confidence with every session.
Leslie’s classes are thoughtfully structured, engaging, and always leave you feeling accomplished. She has a gift for cueing and motivating, making even the toughest workouts feel empowering. Whether you’re a seasoned Pilates enthusiast or new to the practice, you’ll get so much out of her instruction.
You will not regret taking a class with Leslie—she’s one of the best out there. Highly, highly recommended!

From the moment we stepped into the wellness center at Hotel AKA, we felt welcomed, supported, and ready to move. Our class was led by none other than the owner herself, Danielle—and let me just say, she is everything. Her presence is calming, her cues are clear, and her energy is so encouraging. You can tell she deeply cares about creating a space where every woman feels strong, seen, and celebrated.
The class itself was a perfect mix of challenge and restoration. We felt the burn in the best way, and Danielle’s coaching pushed us to tap into strength we didn’t even know we had. She guided us through intentional movements that were both accessible and effective. Everyone in the room—regardless of their experience with Pilates—felt empowered.
After class, we were glowing (and not just from the sweat!). It was more than a workout; it was a whole experience rooted in community, movement, and joy. Lalita Method is now at the top of my list for self-care and wellness in the DMV. I cannot wait to return!
Thank you, Danielle, for sharing your gift with us and creating such a powerful, affirming space. You’ve got a lifelong fan in me!

Lalita Method is the best. Not only is the aesthetic so welcoming, so are the staff members. All of the instructors are wonderful and somehow have a new, creative, and challenging class programmed every day. Such a great spot to also get your body recovery time in the cold plunge and infrared sauna. Cannot say enough great things about this studio!

I’ve been doing pilates over the last 15ish years (both mat and reformer classes) and I’ve tried both traditional and other styles as I’ve relocated over the years. Lalita is a breath of fresh air and we’re lucky Danielle’s opened this studio in Old Town! The classes are challenging (in a good way), well-structured, and have a flow. The instructors are focused on giving you a good experience and making sure you get the most from your class. It is a welcoming studio and community - I highly recommend you check it out!

Love the Lalita studio Pilates reformer classes! All of the instructors are well-trained and knowledgeable about form. No class has been exactly the same, as the instructors are always adding new moves. Classes are challenging for all levels. The towers are fantastic and there are lots of great bala tools for toning. I love the red light cool downs at the end of class!

Obsessed with this studio! I had gone from not working out to attending 3-5 classes a week! Every teacher not only has knowledge about Pilates but overall health and fitness. Each instructor specially curates unique classes that target both large and small muscles. Lalita has become more than a studio it is a community.
The studio itself is beyond beautiful with no detail left undone.

Lalita Method is a breath of fresh air for Old Town Alexandria! The instructors are experienced and explain moves well, especially for those new to reformer Pilates. I have only taken 3 classes so far and am really enjoying it. Each class is so different too! It is a beautifully designed and curated wellness space. It feels California coastal. For constructive feedback, I encourage Lalita Method to continue to work on varied membership and pass options.

I’ve been going to Lalita Method since September 2024 and love it! I was specifically looking for a boutique Pilates studio, and am so glad I found Lalita Method! The staff and the studio itself are so warm and welcoming. I’m newer to reformer Pilates and really appreciate the encouragement, advice, and modifications I’ve received from the instructors I’ve taken class with. I like the smaller class sizes (there are 8 reformers total) and the studio has such a calming, pleasant aesthetic. Overall, I feel a stronger mind-body connection since starting reformer Pilates at Lalita Method and I look forward to my classes every week!

I recently started attending Lalita and the studio that has truly exceeded my expectations. The intimate, clean space creates a calming atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. As a woman-owned business, it fosters a sense of community and empowerment that is refreshing.
The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and comfortable, no matter their fitness level or body type. After having a baby, I was looking for a supportive environment, and this studio has delivered just that. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, making it easy to focus on my own journey.
I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a welcoming and inclusive space to improve their fitness and well-being. It’s more than just a workout; it’s a community!

Love Lalita!!!
This boutique Pilates and wellness studio is a perfect blend of community, expert pilates, and wellness. I have had the pleasure of attending different classes for several weeks and look forward to each class. I always leave feeling positive and strong with improved posture. There is the added benefit of wellness services such as infrared sauna, cold plunge, cupping, and assisted stretch.
It is truly a sanctuary! When you arrive you are greeted by a calming atmosphere and welcoming staff. The design promotes tranquility and the Pilates classes are challenging and fun. The instructors are all very well trained and the small class size allows them to use their expertise to provide correct form or modifications. Overall, my experience at Lalita has been beyond my expectations and I am grateful to have this boutique studio in the Old Town community. I highly recommend Lalita- it is an amazing investment in your health and wellness.

Simply THE BEST! The owner Danielle and her staff are so thoughtful and accommodating. I started back in reformer pilates after a long break from pregnancy and postpartum. I was having mid back pain and wanted to get my core strength back… I book privates for now so I can bring my baby, but it’s worth it as I feel great and strong! No better reformer pilates spot.

I can be a bit of a pilates snob so I had high hopes for Lalita when I saw it was opening... and somehow they were exceeded!!!!
The owner, Danielle, is incredibly friendly and has a very warm and calming presence. The space is also GORGEOUS and it's very clear that a lot of thought was put into every decision --especially the equipment. The Reformer/Tower machines they have from Pilates Equipment are incredibly versatile and easy to manipulate. And both the sauna and plunge pool are spa quality. It's a really unique space. Also, I've been very pleased with the professionalism and kindness of the staff. It's a great vibe.
If you can't tell, I was seriously blown away by this studio and their offerings. Lalita a bit of a hike from my house but well worth the schlep. I'll be coming here regularly!!!!

I am new to Pilates so I do not have a base for comparison. I felt welcomed as a “newbie” and encouraged to overcome any anxiety about learning something new. I have taken 2 reformer Pilates classes and 1 mat flow class at this studio. I was challenged in all 3! Instructors provide good instruction prior to each move and tips to maintain form. With practice, I am certain I will continue to improve my form and strength.

The studio is very nice! For people who are experienced with Pilates, I think this would be a great experience. The class I attended was a bit too challenging and I’ve been to many reformer classes in the past. I would love to see them change the format and have a few basic or foundations classes for those who need to ease into the process.
