Happy Students

  • I have lived a long life without a regular exercise plan, but after a massage on my 76th birthday I noticed a photo in the lobby of a slim blonde diva standing in a field of lavender. Christine Eschen was inviting new clients to contact her. As a gift to myself, and my future health, I decided to make the call and commit to a first session. A year has now passed and I thank Christine for warmly welcoming me into her home and studio. Each week we begin with floor mat exercises accompanied by soothing music, and then move on to exercises done on the machines. Christine is adept at adjusting all of the pilates apparatus to serve each specific exercise, and is always a kind, supportive companion as well as the expert instructor. I know she is the reason I have kept up these weekly sessions and consider them essential to my well being.

    With affection and gratitude,

    Mary Beale K.

  • I’ve been going to Hippie Chic Pilates Studio for three years now. Christine is absolutely the best instructor. We started with an initial assessment and we set my goals. After just a few sessions (mat and reformer) and certainly after a few months, I could see and feel the difference in my overall fitness, strength and flexibility. With my hip problems, Christine works with me on mobility, balance and strengthening my core. I know that I will be doing this for the rest of my life. I can’t get enough and highly recommend it for overall health, fitness and well-being.

  • Hippie Chic Pilates is just the best. From the beautiful setting that immediately makes you feel comfortable, to the session that is customized to fit your needs. Christine is a master at taking you through your class with attention to form and detail. I always leave Hippie Chic Pilates feeling newly energized.
