I love that Pilatesmith pulls togethers some of the best educators and instructors in our industry and they always have a variety of topics that are also very relevant - from the powerhouse to osteoporosis to CPR to tough Pilates flows. I’ve been to both of their locations and they are beautiful. And the workshops are such a great value!”
