Hayley Hobson and NoBo Pilates have dramatically transformed my body and my life for the better! Working with Hayley has been an amazing journey of self-discovery. As a Boulder-based massage therapist, I find that her movement cues are anatomically precise and based on a broad and deep knowledge of the human body and efficient movement. I have Hayley to thank for making me more comfortable in my own body and for helping to prolong my career in the physically challenging field of massage therapy. Thanks Hayley!

I can ride for 2.5 hours and stand up afterwards. I can most regularly
do a sun salutation, forward fold and updog without low back pain. I can
do six hours of massage four days a week and not have chronic low back
pain.
Two and a half years ago, I could not say the same. I entered a mat
Pilates class one day on a whim, because the yoga class I planned to
attend kept on exacerbating my shoulders in the multiple downdogs and
updogs. Hayley Hobson, the Pilates instructor, completely surprised me, with specific,
anatomically informed and visual cues that helped me realize that is was
not a boring ab crunch class that would inevitably over use my already
tight back. No one had ever detailed the information is way.
As a quazi cardio junkie, a full time massage therapist in Boulder for 10 years,
with 40 years of age and increasingly intense chronic low back pain,
shoulder and hip tightness, I started to get the feeling that I needed
some help. Until that mat class, I did not know what it was. Working in
a small group for a few years, I did Core strengthening that emphasized
multi plane, multi joint movements using mostly body weight resistance.
Creative fun and interesting, I loved these classes but I was missing
the link underlying some of these medium to bigger muscle movements.
That's the layer Pilates has changed for me: the base layer, the layer
that causes all my pain and alignment problems. I may have to practice
Pilates for a good chunk of my life but, I may never have the physical
problems my mother, father and sister all have with their lower backs.
Try it. You might not like it initially, but you cannot refute the
results.

I am a mother of three young boys who began Pilates in Boulder for the very first time two years ago. It has given me strength that I had never tapped into before, though an athlete my entire life. The instructors at NoBo Pilates in Boulder are all phenomenal!

Nobo Pilates in Boulder, CO has been instrumental in helping me achieve a stronger, more balanced body. Carrying my heavy toddler or going for a long run have become effortless as a result of the incredible strength I have developed. In addition, my mind and body have developed a deep connection to each other, which was non-existent before I started pilates. The instructors at Nobo Pilates have a wealth of knowledge and are extremely experienced. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering Pilates.

I have practiced Pilates in several different facilities in Boulder over the years, and I have never been in a studio that had the range of equipment that NoBo Pilates offers. The instructors are all extremely qualified and fun and Hayley is truly the most advanced, technical Pilates instructor I've ever come across. I highly recommend this studio if you're looking to do private Pilates lessons in Boulder.
