Mari

" I really enjoyed this workshop! Troy gives excellent and very clear instructions. He cues proper positioning, posture and breathing beautifully. The camera angles were very clear, allowing the viewer to completely see each exercise. He did not speak too quickly or rush through the exercises which I appreciated. Thank you!! "

Anna C

" Enjoyable! I liked these variations, and I found it especially helpful when Troy would related the exercise to the specific skill needed for the dancer/athlete. I would have liked some variation to help train quickness -- so crucial in most sports/dance, and something that is often difficult to achieve through Pilates... "

Keegan H

" As a dancer, I loved session 2 of this workshop but session 1 was SO valuable since so many of my clients that come in are athletes (runners specifically). "
