Real Life Results

Without realizing it, my core strength became very evident to me when my 81 year old mother-in-law visited us from Atlanta over the Thanksgiving holiday. I used a rented wheelchair when I took Carolyn to the mall shopping. We shopped all day!

I lifted the wheelchair in and out of my car. I pushed my mother-in-law from one end of the mall to the other as well as up and down aisles that normally I would never have attempted. I never got tired or had strained muscle pain afterwards like I did before doing 3D Pilates with Shannon. It was unbelievable! I just turned 55 on New Year’s Eve and my family says I am in the best shape ever! Thank you Shannon from taking a body that was weak as a “baby bird” to strong as an ox! Almost :O)

I started working with Shannon in October 2018 and she was an integral part of my Pilates teacher training experience. Her knowledge of the body, movement and its application to Pilates is vast and impressive. Despite my years of study in the field of personal training, I found myself initially intimidated to work with Shannon. She quickly put my mind at ease, assuring me her primary goal was to build on my strengths, and help me grow in my field. I felt I was in a safe space, void of judgement, and open to learning. Shannon motivates you to step outside of your comfort zone and her obvious passion for Pilates encourages you to embrace your studies. I appreciate everything I have learned thus far and look forward to the many things I will continue to learn from Shannon as I move forward in my career. — Sherri Kendrick, Pilates Instructor

Meeting Shannon has been one of the highlights in my life. First of all, her brilliance and knowledge for the body goes beyond Pilates and is the most comprehensive understanding that I have ever trained under. Secondly, Shannon brings so much more to the table than years of experience with her patience, excitement and ability to adapt her teaching style to multiple types of learners all in the same room. Her ability to connect with people and heal the body through movement is a gift in this world. From savvy business strategies, to communication techniques, to multiple perspectives of understanding the body – Shannon really is the complete package. And what inspires me the most about Shannon is her selfless leadership style. I have watched Shannon mentor many others and I am in awe of how she is able to bring out the best in every person she works with. Shannon did more than just teach me to regurgitate information, she taught me how to be a Jedi! I owe a great deal of my success and happiness to her. — Jenna Dodge, MS, CHES Movement Specialist, Pilates Instructor
