Reviews

Highly recommend this course for learning about why clients compensate. I found this course extremely helpful to understand why certain muscle groups take over from others. After qualifying in July 2020 as a Pilates Instructor, furthering my education and knowledge to help me best teach my clients is so important to me.

I have completed several of Tanya’s courses now and have enjoyed each and every one of them. I use the manuals to refer back on things, which is a great resource to have. This one I found so informative and it will really help me with my teaching practice, it has answered so many questions for me. THANK YOU so much!
