Teaching Method
I am a hand-on teacher, my hands help a client to find the exact muscle to work on it.
I always encourage my clients to use all the principles and knowledge of Pilates in everyday life. I keep repeating that "the best Pilates is outside my studio" to keep them aware of their body 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
And of course, the best reward is a pain free body. When clients get rid of their pains, their eyes say it all...
