I just wanted to thank Gracie for offering this course. I have learned so much and I can really apply this to my work as a Physical Therapist. She really understands how to apply the Pilates Method in a physical therapy setting and how to use it to help patients recover from injuries! Thanks Gracie!!

This course has been a great experience and I am so happy to have completed it. I loved Pilates before, but I really feel this course deepened my understanding and appreciation for the depth of this work. I also passed the Pilates Method Alliance national exam and I know I could not have done that without taking Gracie's course. I look forward to working as a Pilates instructor for a very long time!

What I loved so much about this course is that Gracie was willing to work around my crazy rehersal schedule. Having enough time in between each weekend intensive was great because I felt like I had enough time to practice in the studio and really absorb the material before we added more material. Thanks for a great course Gracie!!
