"Pilates changed my life for the better in so many ways and Rael was the primary reason it worked for me. In the past I had tried yoga or working out at the gym but not regularly and with so little direct support I didn't stick with it.

Since I was not an athlete nor in good physical shape, I needed an exercise program that was developed for me and my physical needs. Rael started at a level of exercise that I could do and at the same time, not be frustrated with my lack of ability. Her approach was always positive and encouraging while at the same time she gently upped the complexity of each exercise as I improved so that I felt successful. She challenged me, she modified exercises based on my needs and she taught me how to enjoy exercising. The more I did, the more I wanted to do.

Rael became a friend and my own personal cheerleader in my journey to better health. I am a semi-retired woman in my 70's and I can now sit on the floor crossed legged and play with my grandkids. I have gained back a ½ inch in my height, I can easily get up from a chair or lean over to pick up something and I feel so much more energetic and healthier."
