Empowering Pregnancy - Allyson Neri

From embracing the reformer machines to maintaining strength through pregnancy, Allyson shares her empowering experience in intimate classes.

You might recognize the incredible energy of Allyson Neri, the owner of Citron Salon in Millbrook, NY, in our classes. Well, here's the inside scoop – she's expecting a bouncing baby boy this month! 🍼✨ Her dedication is truly awe-inspiring; she breezed through her last class just one week before her due date, and we couldn't be prouder. Here is what she can tell you about her journey...

What motivates you to start pilates?

I have always wanted to do a pilates class and try the reformer machines but haven’t found a space where i felt comfortable going locally. I decided to sign up for the intro package and kept going because i love how intimate the classes are, and of how i felt after! I knew i wanted to continue moving during my pregnancy, but wanted something that would be beneficial and sustainable throughout it. I just finished my last class at 38w4d! I say that’s pretty good!

What is your favorite thing about the studio?

I love the smaller classes, the cleanliness and vibe of the studio and also how Soyoung will correct you if needed!

What were some of your initial fears about coming to practice with us?

Just not knowing the machine and being new to pilates but after the overview of the machine and a few classes you get the hang of it!

What is one thing that you would love to share with someone who was thinking about trying out pilates for the first time?

Go for it! The benefits of pilates alone is great, for your core, balancing muscle strength, and so much more - but i am such a believer in movement everyday and the benefits of that on our mental. You deserve to take the time to move your body and do something for you! You never regret a workout, so book the class!
