Student feedback for Jennifer Gianni

" Loved the workshop! I’m a big Jennifer fan! Already done 5 of them "

Terry P (Hip )

" I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop! I have so many clients who suffer from this and have been given so much misinformation regarding the subject! Hearing that the ultimate goal does NOT necessarily mean closing the gap will be so helpful for my mamas! "

Vanessa U (Healing Diastasis)

Oksana P (Hip )

" Hello Jennifer and Fusion Pilates, Thank you for such detailed Course and more holistic approach to add on benefits of Pilates movements and exercises.Practicing as physiotherapist and incorporating a lot of pilates work into my session, I am very keen to hear something new. Performing pilates movements with vibrational therapy at the same time is amazing, as I use a lot of vibrational movement in my fascial manual work! Clear instructions, well presented learning material... "
