I love the discipline and how I'm always learning something and there is always just a little more I can do. I've been taking Pilates from Andrea now for almost 2 years. I first hooked up with her when I learned about "True Pilates" or "Romana Pilates" which is the direct derivative from Joseph Pilates, creator of "Contrology" which is what we now call "Pilates". Andrea has such enthusiasm for Pilates and for teaching and learning it is a joy to be around her. She always pushes me to do more and do better but not in a negative or harsh way. She is a "good soul" and a great teacher!

Emiko offers a completely unique and carefully detailed strength training regimen for midlife…read morewomen. I have done all kinds of fitness training throughout my life...dance, weight lifting, cardio, pilates, barre. But I felt frustrated by the offerings I was finding in my late 40s. I wasn't focused on weight loss (I'd ditched diet culture years earlier) and I wasn't interested in a quick fix. I wanted to be strong, capable, flexible, and steady. Now, a few months after working with Emiko, I'm all of those things and more! I feel at ease with challenging fitness tasks and move through the most strenuous part of my days with no problems at all. I recently completed a hike that used to leave me panting and aching...this time, I sped up the hill and felt the power and possibility in my muscles. Many of the small aches and pains that used to bug me have disappeared -- shoulder pain, a fussy knee...both gone! Two things about Emiko's program have really stood out to me. First, she worked me through adaptations and advancing moves so gradually that I barely noticed how much more I was lifting or pushing. Workouts required my focus but did not exhaust or deplete me. Secondly, Emiko was amazingly adaptable to the ups and downs of my life as a mom. She understood rescheduling needs, she gave me restorative exercises instead of my usual workout after my kid had been sick for a week, and she just generally made workouts work for me -- I was never so sore that I couldn't bring the groceries in from the minivan the next day. In short, Emiko is a real gift to any woman who wants to improve her overall fitness, feel better in her day-to-day, and know that she's the strong woman we all want to be. Give Emiko a try...you won't be disappointed.

I love that I can just show up and follow her lead, and she will help me know when it is time to move up a weight or change an activity by observation and checking in with me. I highly recommend her.

Denise's gentle corrections to my attempts at the poses and her encouragement to see how much more I'm capable of have been the cornerstone of my getting so much from my yoga practice. If you ever get the chance to take one of Denise's classes on the beach at Swami's, DO IT! What an experience!
