Testimonials
Really appreciate these Masterclasses, they are very well thought out and executed. We are very fortunate to have these opportunities with such gifted professionals.
More please! I love the 1.5 hour duration and have learnt a lot!
Even though I've been going to Pilates classes for a very long time and see Gwendalyn regularly for neck problems, I learnt heaps! Have already started the nightly exercises
It's very good to focus on one topic. This session on neck, shoulders etc was very useful to me. Thanks!
Very informative and practical, and personal. Thank you!
Very informative and applicable for hiking/walking prep. Although I'm reasonably fit I certainly felt it in my thighs for a few days. Well done!
It was lovely to see you and really enjoyed the class and your expertise. You are a well of knowledge.
