The Pilates Edit · OCTOBER 2026
Five teachers at nearby SoHo and West Village.
For Pilates near Tribeca, SoHo on Howard Street and West Village on West Houston give you two nearby studio options. These five teachers are our editorial picks across those rooms. Look for a teaching approach that clicks and a class time that fits your trip.
We’ve taken their classes. These are our picks. The student feedback below adds another perspective, with sources you can explore for yourself.
1. Georgia Miller
For energy you want to return to.
Georgia is a pick for students who want a challenging class with a welcoming feel. Named reviews describe lively energy, individual attention, and a mix of traditional Pilates movements with a contemporary feel.
2. Claire Lukasiewicz
For clear explanations and a well-paced class.
Claire is a strong place to start if you value knowing how a movement should feel. A named SoHo review describes her class as well structured and well paced, with attentive instruction and clear explanations throughout.
3. Luisa Figuera
For a teacher students keep calling a favorite.
Luisa earns her place through direct student enthusiasm. Several September reviews at SoHo name her as a favorite or dream instructor. Those comments are an endorsement of the experience; they do not establish a particular specialty. Try her class and find out whether the connection clicks for you.
4. Anna Severson
For choreography that flows naturally.
Anna’s West Village students describe thoughtful programming and movements that flow into one another. Named feedback also highlights helpful modifications and clear explanations. Choose Anna when the construction of the class is part of what you love.

Matthew’s named reviews describe routines that change, clear explanations, and an ability to meet students where they are before adding challenge. His feedback spans studios; look for current classes at West Village and Flatiron.
About this month’s picks
These are New York Pilates editorial recommendations, listed without a numerical teacher score. Descriptions draw on reviews that identify the teacher. A review may come from another NYP studio where that teacher has taught. The first edition uses the Google review snapshot collected October 11, 2026, plus a Google update checked October 13. Teacher locations were checked against the October 11–17 Mindbody schedule. Select the named instructor in the live schedule; times and locations can change.
ClassPass and Mindbody written reviews have not yet been included in this edition. The monthly review check will add attributable feedback when those sources are accessible.
