Feedback on Pilates Arc & Pole by Nikki Chrysostomou

" Wonderful and sweet instruction and SO MANY cool new things to do on the arc, which I use all the time with clients. LOVED IT! I’ve been teaching/doing Pilates for 26 years, and I left this workshop feeling inspired, sweaty (It’s 95 degrees here in N Cal!) refreshed and worked out! No easy task for this veteran... so THANK YOU! (-; "

Tabatha K

" I appreciated the level variations. I want to look at other ways to utilize the pole as the coordination needed is not easy for beginners. I'm excited to add a full Arc class to my studio options. Thanks! "

Mary P Clear explanations and progressions. I have already used some of these exercises with clients and had good results

Susanne D Great Workshop Nikki. I enjoyed working with the pole more extensively together with the arc which help clients find more whole body integration creating more continuity in their movements. Thank you...I love you laugh.....
