The Pilates Lab

• Jessie H.June 2026

  Sonja Brigham is a gifted healer, Pilates practitioner, and one’s true ally. Through her expertise, perception, and guidance I have regained and rediscovered my body and how I had become stuck, unaware of constant tenseness, and cut off through various sports and other injuries, misalignments, and protective compensations. When I first saw Sonja two years ago, I could not walk up and down stairs because of knee problems, I had serious low back issues and shoulder impingements, I was totally frontally focused from decades of tennis and computer work and unaware of the back of my body, nor could I play tennis in the passionate way, at the intensity, and at the level I wanted to even though I am definitely in the super senior category. Over a number of years I had tried a wide range of traditional medical and alternative health approaches, but I had not found lasting recovery or analysis and solutions that made sense. When I saw the life-size chart of a woman’s skeleton on her studio wall, I knew I was in the right place. Working with Sonja has given me the path I sought for so long, and along the way I have discovered new, pain-free movement patterns, balance, mobility, integration, relaxed tension-free use of my body and spirit, and better breathing patterns. And I am back playing competitive and social tennis, both singles and doubles, and working on my game, which I love most of all. Sonja has long had a vision and a plan for my continued progress, and I hope to keep working with her, virtually and in her studio, on this dialogue and journey together. I am deeply grateful and thank you, Sonja!

  I have worked with Sonja consistently for more than eight years, and I can say without hesitation that Pilates has become one of the most important components of my overall health and wellness routine. As someone who has always led a very active lifestyle, I originally came to Pilates to improve flexibility, mobility, and core strength. The benefits have far exceeded my expectations. Through Sonja's guidance, I have experienced meaningful improvements in strength, balance, posture, range of motion, and overall physical performance. Just as important, Pilates has had a profound impact on my mental well-being. It has provided mental focus and resilience that extend well beyond the studio. Sonja is an exceptional teacher!

  I was introduced to Sonja at The Pilates Lab ten years ago, after a skiing accident forced me to significantly change my work outs. She is absolutely incredible. She has a deep understanding of the human body and is acutely aware of the mind body connection. Her sessions are engaging, challenging and constantly evolving. I never imagined that Sonja would remain a weekly constant in my life after all these years and I could not be more grateful.
