Helped me relieve chronic lower back pain

Pilates is a great exercise for my chronic low back pain and since it helped me, I have referred many of my patients to Devra. The most important thing is that it’s an awesome form of exercise to help with the stubborn ‘menopause pooch’.

Devra helped me feel “whole” again

I came across Devra’s information while I was recovering from my second hip replacement, and after spinal surgery about 18 months prior. After my extended injury and recovery periods I was hesitant about taking on pilates but Devra was very careful to evaluate me and continuously moderate exercises to avoid injury while strengthening my core and helping me feel “whole” again. I was very comforted by her extensive training and ongoing education to bring me the most effective and current approaches to my issues. She’s a true professional who has a real mission to help people. Thanks Devra!

Devra’s classes never get boring and predictable

I’ve worked out my entire life, but after a certain point, I didn’t feel I was getting stronger or leaner. After researching, I found Pilates through rehabbing an ankle injury. Since then, I’ve never looked back. I started taking a group Pilates class with Devra about 8 years ago. I have been going twice a week ever since. What I like about her style is that she never gets boring or predictable and she pushes me but knows my limitations and always keeps my health in her first concern. I had major back surgery a few years ago and after I was able to return to light workouts, I knew she would be my resource along with physical therapy. Her attention to detail really helped me to regain strength and flexibility. Anyone can do this workout. The only limitations are your mind. She will customize everything to fit your specific needs. I appreciate everything she has done and is still doing for me!

Absolutely Pilates is my routine mainstay

Absolutely Pilates is my routine mainstay. I’ve been working out for years but needed that extra core work. I tried several different Pilate classes in Orange County and was excited to have found Devra, her classes are the exact fit for me. She works carefully with my individual needs and pays close attention to what I have to say about my body and what areas I’d like to focus on. She’s fun, smart and knows her Pilates!
If your looking to find a class and have the results you want, look no further!

I wanted one-on-one training with personalized attention

! Devra is very skilled and has alI wanted one-on-one training with personalized attention because I haven’t exercised in a while and didn’t want to be floundering around on strange equipment in front of lithe strangers. And I found itl the training a Pilates instructor should have. (Trust me; I checked. I’m an attorney.) And she immediately relaxed me because she’s easy going and non-judgmental. But when I say “easy going,” I do not mean we hang out and laugh all the time. She genuinely wants to see me gain strength and flexibility and works me thoroughly. This is a treat I give myself twice a week, and it’s wonderful. It’s not easy, but Devra is very encouraging. She’s fun too! Private lessons are not all she gives, either. If you’re thinking of trying out Pilates or are a Pilates expert, Devra teaches all levels. She’s awesome.

I recently started back up with Pilates to supplement my weight training

I recently started back up with Pilates to supplement my weight training and I was fortunate enough to find Devra Swiger at AB-Solutely Pilates. Her knowledge and fun personality make this workout my favorite day of the week. Her place is clean and inviting. Her personal attention helps me to reach deeper and perform better each time. Yesterday I went in with a migraine headache and she helped me with gentle stretches and moves that opened up all the right places. I walked out headache free and felt good the rest of the day. Magical! Anyone who is serious about investing in their health should consider Devra’s studio. I’m so grateful I found her!
