The teacher-training received was no less than a life changing experience. At the time I had a one and two year old, and this program gave me the opportunity to learn and experience something just for ME. It was challenging but so transformative for both me as a Teacher and me as a person. I knew I was going to learn about the history, the exercises and the apparatus, but I also gained such meaningful connections with the whole Pilates community. Bonny-Lynn and Amy are a wealth of knowledge and both have the ability to captivate and inspire you with every minute spent in their presence, and I feel so honoured that my Teaching was sculpted from these two incredible women.”

”The training that I received from both Bonny-Lynn and Amy gave me the knowledge and confidence to not just teach, but to truly coach people. Their care and attention to each person they train always made me feel seen, heard, and accepted despite not being a "typical pilates girl" and they always met me where I was at.”
