What Students Say…
“As our term draws to a close I would like to thank you for such a lovely, peaceful, gentle, yet so beneficial, chair pilates class. I have thoroughly enjoyed this method of exercise, most notably being able to work at our own pace. The movement I have regained after a previous surgically corrected heel osteotomy is wonderful. A shoulder injury has also improved using core strength exercises. Your patience and encouragement is much appreciated. I am a definite participant next term. ”
“I have been attending Suzanne’s classes for many years. Suzanne is a passionate and dedicated —- gaining as much knowledge as possible to help her students towards improved mobility. Suzanne’s classes are informative and enjoyable—-you come away feeling that every muscle has had a workout! I go to the Senior class, and Suzanne has lots of tips for correct walking techniques, lifting and exercises to prevent falls —- even eye exercises.
Suzanne is an excellent and inspiring teacher. There is only one Suzanne!”
