"Hey that conference rocked!! Loved the Pilates and
Mastermind the best. My classes yesterday and today
asked me if I had Red Bull for Breakfast. Joanna and I
are going to get together to put a Pilates class
together.

"Thank you for rejuvenating us. On Monday my class
did not know what hit them, but they loved every minute
of the new movements. The participants said, you made
our minds work today. Now I have a new standard to keep!
The
video clips are a great idea. Watching them
reminds me of how much we learned. Please
continue to add more general ones and specialty
classes. Have tried many of the moves and
modified others.

The conference was very good. I learned lots and tried a
few things on a class earlier today. Well received! As
for Connie, I rarely miss anything she talks on and her
lecture on Neck and Back pain was no exception. The
woman is brilliant in terms of her knowledge and her
delivery of it. I'm more of a power and strength person
rather than Pilates. He proved me wrong when we got in
the pool. Awesome ideas and I will surely use some of it
when I can perfect it myself first!! Angie is very
similar to me in style of teaching. I have fun with it
and I try to engage those in the class so they have fun
too! Her tethering class is one I want to teach in
Ajax....if they'll let me. I made some new contacts this
weekend and we are committed to staying in touch. (Just
sent one a note.)

Wow!! Thanks for a great day of valuable
information, great instruction, useful handouts,
time in the pool. Kudos especially to Dylan
Harries for demonstrating the Power Posture so
well. I shall sing your praises in the City of
Kawartha Lakes and shall look forward to
attending my next conference.

Just a thank you! I was very impressed with the
incredible organization that got all of us
registered, fed at lunchtime and allowed us to
experience minimal congestion in the change
rooms and halls. Well done!
The presenters I had were all very knowledgeable
and willing to share this information with us.
Thank you!

Loved every session I attended. Only wished
there was a way to attend all sessions. Next
year would love to attend sessions on: Aquafit
for Kids, Water Shallow Walking/Balance/Stretch,
and a specialty (out of the box) such as line
dancing or ballroom dancing.
