"From the first Practical Pilates class to the last, each time I think I'm getting better and stronger Natasha finds another way to push me and I love it! I can really feel the difference in my body and even my mood after each class! I'm hooked!" -Lyndsay

"Natasha's Pilates classes are enjoyable, relaxing and as challenging as you want to make them for yourself. I am an older woman and Pilates gives me a feeling of inner strength and body awareness in all areas of daily activity." -Bronwyn

"I attended your Thursday night class during the first term of 2009 at the Hurstville Jump St Studios. Being a first time pilates attendee I had very little idea of what a pilates class entailed. I was surprised at the amount of strength required for some exercises and you certainly made them all look very easy - which for me, was not the case! The classes were very enjoyable and the allotted time of 45mins flew past each session. I often felt muscle soreness a day or so after each class which I felt was a good thing - perhaps I was doing some of the exercises correctly! I didn't think any of the classes I attended were over crowded, in fact the opposite was often the case which was great for individual attention." -Rachael

"I participated in the pre-natal pilates class and found the exercises gentle, effective, particularly towards the latter stage of my pregnancy. The teacher was friendly, able to draw on her own pregnancy experiences to ensure the most important muscle groups were isolated during the exercise and well cared for during the pregnancy journey. I would recommend this class to pregnancy ladies and hope to rejoin after the birth of my baby." -Q from Kogarah

"I'm finding Practical Pilates a lovely way to rebuild muscles after pregnancy and to unwind after a hectic day with the kids. Natasha's voice is so soothing!" -Wendy

"It seems a daily occurrence these days where friends and work colleagues are stopping me and telling me how great I look and amazed at how much weight i have lost. How have you done it? they all ask. As someone that has battled with weight for the last decade particularly after two children, I have tried everything. I had a personal trainer, weight watchers, gym, fancy Pilates studios, the lot. I have been a student with Practical Pilates for just over a year now and have lost almost 12 kilos. Not only have I lost weight in all the right places i generally look and feel so much better. I enjoy the relaxed friendly environment and I find that the exercises help me with relaxation, release of tension and anxiety. Also it is affordable as most other exercise avenues are so expensive and although essential, unfortunately not viable in the current economic conditions. People always said that exercise boosts energy levels and for once i actually have to agree. I believe it is all a cycle, when you feel and look better you are more inclined to eat better and take better care of your self and this leads to a happier individual which feeds into every aspect of your life. Practical Pilates helped me to regain my health and in turn my confidence and life." -Maria

"I come out of Practical Pilates classes feeling energised, stronger and taller! Practical Pilates has helped me gain core strength and balance within my body. It has made me realise muscles I never knew existed. Natasha is a fantastic teacher. She combines a thorough knowledge of Pilates with an intuitive sense of what is best for you and your body, whatever your level of fitness. She is an inspiring teacher who makes every class varied, interesting, and fun. Thank you Natasha!" -Anthea

"Really enjoying the classes. Pilates has helped me to strengthen my core muscle and relieved my back pain! Great price and the flexibility of class times really suits me as a shift worker!"

"I have loved going to Practical Pilates this term- it's a great escape from the wind and grind of the workplace and forces me to relax and focus on me. Will definitely continue to return - have very much felt physical and mental benefits" -Melissa

"For the last 8 months, Natasha from Practical Pilates has been visiting our office in Parramatta once a week to teach up to 13 people Pilates. During this time she has shown remarkable patience with our lack of coordination and the varying levels of fitness displayed by the group. She has increasingly tailored each class to suit everyone's individual needs whilst keeping them interesting and fresh. She brought a different challenge and focus to each class and the improvement in people's core strength and flexibility was very noticeable over time. Natasha was always prompt and provided the perfect environment for the class with peaceful music and essential aromas. Most of all she was unwaveringly kind and encouraging to all the participants." -Katrina
