Nova Pilates

OMG I just left the studio, warm, well exercised and tired but happy. Milla Nova is a master!!!
She is so knowledgeable when it comes to our bodies, she knows it all and she wants you to
know it also. She wants to make certain you do everything correctly in order to avoid injury:
she is caring and smart and lovely and strong! Come here if you are serious about Pilates and
Milla will make sure your body is at its best.

Milla is absolutely the best instructor I ever met.
I had severe back pain. Over the years, I met many teachers. Unfortunately, I found out that they were all fake! They pretended to know about body structure, but actually not. I really, really strongly recommend Milla. If you have back pain or need postural alignment, I strongly recommend her. She is the best!

Now this is who you call master teacher.
I am very picky when it comes to Pilates instructor and I’ve been to too many who call themselves master teacher yet can’t really figure out what makes them superior.
Nova was recommended by my friend who has a thriving pilates studio. She goes to Milla for private lesson when she is certified from 4 different renown pilates certification course (she’s also the head judge for national beauty pageant bikini division).
I can see how Milla is considered teacher for teachers.
You can’t compare her to any other master teachers out there.
Her understanding of the body and her method is somethings completely different.
However, it’s almost impossible to set up an appointment with her. She makes me realize how real good ones don’t need 100+ five star reviews on Unilocal and they are simply too busy doing what they do best to run a blog or a youtube channel.

I’m so happy I found Mila. She is so effective. I have significantly improved my diastisis (separation of the abdominal muscles from pregnancy) with her Pilates. I also love that she can tailor what I do in the class towards my needs. She’s got such an impressive knowledge of the body and no class is ever the same. She really listens to the students and she challenges us but keeps us safe. She creates an incredible variation in each workout; I have never been injured but I am always sore in a good way afterwards. She can nimbly modify the class to help all 5 students each with a Reformer or Cadillac machine. She’s also funny! I keep going back even though I have to drive far to get there. Parking is free with her validation in the lot just north of the post office, just remember to bring in your parking ticket for validation or it costs 7.- to park. The studio is clean and she has all the best equipment. I hope she will still have room in the class for me!

Milla is absolutely the best Pilates instructor! She is truly a master in her field. Over the years I have had other instructors, but no one can compare to Milla. She pays total attention to the mechanics of the body. It is rare to find someone with her knowledge and expertise.

As a favor to a friend, I attended a yoga class yesterday but never expected to actually enjoy the experience. The instructor, Paula, was wonderful. Her approach is uniquely personal and her congenial style is easy to follow because she takes the time to work with each student individually.
I have tried other yoga and exercise classes in the past but never found one that worked for me until now. Paula shows a genuine interest in helping her students deal with both daily stresses and specific health issues. She provides a program that is not only physically rigorous and challenging but also mentally relaxing and entertaining — a nice balance and welcome respite from the outside world.
Paula is clearly committed to seeing her students achieve their goals for both mind and body. I highly recommend her yoga class and look forward to the next meeting.

I have just taken my fifth yoga class at Nova Pilates and I could not be happier. I have tried yoga several times in the past and never quite felt at home or comfortable. There was lots of breathing, chanting, tapping and terrible smells (heat yoga!) and I just couldn’t find the class for me.
My instructor at Nova, Paula, is exceptional and teaches a class that is the perfect balance between the body and mind. I was a true beginner and five classes in, I feel very comfortable with the poses and flow of our class. I am thrilled to be working on balance and strength, which are definitely weaknesses for me – yet I leave each class feeling like I’ve accomplished a lot and can truly see progress already. Paula is so lovely and motivating — she somehow always seems to set a class intention that is just what I needed that day. There is nothing overdone or sappy about this… It’s just enough to make me think about life a little differently as I stretch and strengthen my body and explore this fascinating practice.

What can I say? Milla has completely changed my life. I suffered from chronic lower back pain for 20 years. I had seen countless doctors, chiropractors, and massage therapists and had tried every therapy/​treatment available (short of surgery), and nothing relieved the pain. I started seeing Milla about 3 years ago and my life hasn’t been the same since. While not a doctor, Milla was able to diagnose exactly what was wrong with me (the pain was actually being caused by tight hip flexor/​psoas muscles and not my actual back) because she knows body mechanics so well. Today, I am essentially pain free. If it ever does act up, I get in to see Milla right away and she works her magic (She’s always willing to do adjustments before or after sessions if something is particularly tight or painful). Aside from the pain relief, I love what the twice weekly sessions have done to my body. My core is crazy strong and my body leaner and tighter. I would never even consider going to anyone else and I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. Milla is simply THE BEST. I just wish I had met her earlier and I could have saved myself years and years of pain, frustration, and wasted time and money.

Training with Milla will change your body and ultimately change your life. Her knowledge in anatomy and bio-​mechanics is truly second to none. She tailors each workout to the client’s needs. Milla’s approach focuses on overall well being as well as physical results. Never boring, always challenging, I look forward to my sessions with her, eager for my next one. If you want to change, if you want the best, you go to Milla Nova. It’s really that simple.

Milla helped me through some chronic aches and pains that were caused by poor alignment. Her precise technique keeps me strong and her wicked humor keeps me laughing! My friends tell me I’ve grown 2 inches!

Seriously, you will not find a better instructor than Milla. I have been to many studios in Los Angeles from West Hollywood to Santa Monica and no one compares to Milla. She thorougly understands body mechanics and can see things most experts, including massage and physical therapists and chiropractors do not. I simply won’t go to anyone else. My core, back, arms, and legs are strong because of Milla. You are in very capable hands.
