“Gradually, I have a lot of certificates, but this means a lot more. Among other things. Because Pilates manages to make a connection with my dance, to TRX and all the other training teams I love to train and teach … My core training has never been as intense as it is now. And it’s thanks to Gitte and Camilla from Pilates Cph, who have opened a door to a new, intense and exciting world.”
“If you really want a serious Pilates education, then this is where you need to educate yourself. Today, 4 months after my education, I have Pilates teams in classic Matwork, Pregnant Pilates and Post-Pilates.”
