I have the chance to be part of Luz’s yoga class , because even if she has always a lot of student’s requests for integrating her classes, she keeps a high quality of listening (in keeping most of the time only semi private group), and pays attention to how is your body, and your mind not only the first time you go to the class but every single moment of the class, and she gives very interesting explanations in the same time about the different types of yoga, the origin,the anatomy, the benefits of each pose. Moreover, she adapts the mouvement and advice you about modification if you have any specific problem.
She’s doing restorative yoga as well for people with injury, and use and like to improve her knowledge in reading,teaching, doing specific worshop around the world regularly, and always in touch with physiotherpapist, osteopath…etc
I am very thankful to her because she is always acting in a positive way to make you feel motivate and well in your body and mind.

A Pilates reformer workout is one of the most popular workouts due to the increase in classes offered on this spring loaded machine.

Pilates reformer benefits are plenty but mostly the reformer works to strengthen and correct posture of the legs and helps to realign the torso and increase strength in the upper body.

Pilates Reformer Exercise Benefits:

1. Stretches and strengthens the muscles for a longer leaner look.

2. Works to correct muscular imbalances and realigns the spine through the spring loaded tension.

3. Corrects posture from the feet working up into the pelvis.

4. Corrects posture by strengthening the upper torso especially the back.

5. Fun and invigorating workout!

Moving forward, Stay Happy and Healthy, Luz

I met Luz 3 years ago. She was a Pilates instructor and I started to work with her. She helped me to build on the essence and principles of the J. Pilates work by incorporating modern knowledge about my body.

I take yoga classes with her and cycling classes . I can not tell which class is better.
In all these classes, she was focusing ona strenghth, flexibility and endurance, without risking injury or building bulk. Luz helped me to restore the curves of my spine, relieve tension and enhance self-confidence.
I have got balanced and aligned body that looks fit(I hope so!!!),I feel revitalized and I move with ease.
She inspired me to become Pilates instructor. 
Well done Luz!

Namaste,

Jasna

I first started doing Pilates over eight months ago. For years I have struggled with scoliosis and it was suggested I try Pilates to improve my strength and posture. It is safe to say Pilates is now, and will be forever, a part of my life.

The ideology behind Pilates makes perfect sense to me and I have embraced the principles in my life. I was looking for something that would inspire me to better myself, both physically and mentally. For me, Pilates has enabled me to do just that.

I feel very blessed to have Luz as my teacher. She has installed in me a sense of self belief, inspiration and motivation through her teaching. No two classes are ever the same! They are always challenging and rewarding and my body is becoming stronger and more linear. I do not suffer with back pain anymore and I walk more confidently.

She designs classes to suit my needs and adapts according to how I feel.

Luz has a caring nature and her constant encouragement enable you to achieve. I always leave her classes feeling wonderful and revitalised.

Thanks Luz! You’re fantastic!
