"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.
