Physical Fitness is the first requisite of happiness
Joseph Pilates
We think our exercise science-based curriculum, supportive environment, and state of the art studio makes our certification program the best option for dedicated Pilates professionals. But we don’t expect you to take our word for it. Here’s what our past workshop participants are saying: |

Testimonial From Shannon, |
| “Amanda is a great teacher. She continued to review the material and answer questions even after 20+ hours of lecturing. I now understand and can apply anatomical terms in my classes!” | |
| “This was a very well laid out course with excellent material provided. The balance of content with applied knowledge and exercises was great. Amanda is a very talented instructor. Thank you for a great workshop!” Anatomy and Biomechanics Workshop Participants, April of 2007 |

“Having two instructors was fabulous because we were able to hear from 2 viewpoints and have 4 eyes on our form. Karen and Ruthanne are very good at communicating – both listening and explaining. They took time for questions and offered a variety of ways to cue. I especially appreciated how the instructors carried the anatomy and biomechanics throughout the weekend. The frequent reminding and quizzing made sure each student “gets it.” |
|
“This course was motivating, fun and very educational. Ruthanne and Karen were wonderful, upbeat and kept things moving. I really like going over each movement so closely and breaking it down. Thanks!” Mat 101 Workshop Participants, January 2007 |

| “Amanda, you are AWESOME! You are a great teacher, and it was a pleasure for me to attend this workshop. Your teaching skills are amazing and I look forward to taking another workshop from you in the future!” |
|
| “Amanda has a unique talent to instruct the very challenging content in a fun and non-threatening way! I’m also leaving the workshop feeling more connected to my own body and thus, more aware of my student’ bodies. Thank you!!!” |
|
| “The course content was perfect and useful in an “everyday” sort of way. Amanda is a great teacher – she’s very funny and breaks the information down into terms everyone can relate to.” |
|
| “I appreciate the fact that we were not expected to memorize everything, but encouraged to continue reviewing and learning the material later. This class definitely motivates me to take each move seriously when attending to or preventing injuries.” Anatomy and Biomechanics Workshop Participants, Feburary 2007 |

|
| “Amanda is obviously excited about the subject matter, and her excitement is what helped me to get excited about it. She has really piqued my interest in movement analysis. The workshop was definitely challenging, but very interesting.” Anatomy and Biomechanics Workshop Participants, November of 2006 |

|
| “I enjoyed this class because it helped my take the information I already knew and the new material and make it all come together. I feel like I have a ‘whole’ picture, instead of just ‘part’ of the picture for beginning mat. Thank you to all Karen and Ruthanne. They really made learning fun and interesting. I learned so much and feel I will retain it, because they gave great cues and made the workshop so fun. The workshop was convenient and affordable.” Mat 101 Workshop Participant, October 2006 |

| “This workshop was such a beautiful experience. I have just recently discovered my passion for Pilates, and this has only made that passion stronger. I truly appreciate the opportunity, and will always be grateful. Thanks so much!” |
|
| The instructors fit a lot of information into a short amount of time. At the same time they kept it fun and interesting. I especially liked that there was a lot of hands-on activities, with form correction at every step.” Mat 101 Workshop Participants, May 2006 |

|
|
| “Really enjoyed the course. Thank you for all your help and sharing your knowledge. You created a nice environment for learning – professional, yet fun and lighthearted!” |
|
| "Exceeded my expectations in every way. Challenged me without terrorizing me. Very clear instructions. I know better what I need to work on – and how to better teach others.” Mat 101 Workshop Participants, January 2006 |
