"As a certified Athletic Therapist, I love teaching people Pilates because I have seen and experienced first hand what it can do for my patients and also for myself when it comes to building lasting strength.
I have been recovering from a back injury, and when I started training with NEU Pilates’ techniques, that is when I really started to see a difference in my strength and overall wellness. My overall goal in my career is to teach people how to move in a way that gets them back to living their best in all aspects of life."

"My experience with NEU Pilates during both Springboard, Mat and Reformer courses was beyond exceptional. Lara’s energetic teaching style is relatable and inspires students to enjoy the process of instructing.
Jen’s years of physio practice also shines through in a cool way. I felt supported throughout the course, and even had a chance to visit the clinics on various occasions with a warm welcome from ancillary staff. I would definitely recommend this innovative course to those interested in educating their clients about what the body can accomplish."

"My Pilates journey started in 2019 with STOTT pilates with training up to advanced level in Mat and all equipment (Cadillac, Reformer, Barrels and Stability Chair) and while it was all amazing there was still a gap for me, something was still missing.
I came across NEU Pilates as I was searching and the idea of integrating Physio with Pilates was mind blowing to me as it was so relevant to today’s challenges and really elevate client programming! The training program is next level and Lara (Experienced Pilates Instructor) and Jen (physiotherapist trained by renowned Diane Lee) developed a program that was so easy to follow and seamlessly incorporated Physio concepts with Pilates. I love NEU Pilates principles as they make your workout more effective! A game changer for me and finally what I was looking for. What really made a difference to me as well is the support I received from Lara and the team at NEU Pilates. They are hands on, authentic, fun and really motivate you to succeed. They are with you every step of the way!"

"I chose NEU Pilates to elevate and refine my teaching skills. After being an instructor for various fitness styles for over 5 years now, which include yoga, barre, sculpt, and Pilates, I began to feel somewhat stagnant in my ability to provide students with advanced knowledge and heightened body awareness.
I really felt I wanted to take my teaching to the next level. Neu Pilates, through its fascia training module, delves deep into the intricacies of the body's connective tissue, facilitating a profound physical awareness and enhanced flexibility. This empowers my clients to optimize their practice, enhancing their overall breath and body consciousness. With a busy schedule, the online program allowed me to learn at my own pace, and the team is not only remarkably knowledgeable in their respective areas of expertise but also incredibly kind and personable, making their videos enjoyable and easy to grasp. I couldn't recommend them more highly!"
MARIKAH BARAN
★★★★★
"My interest in Pilates first began with my own experiences with injuries and dysfunctional movement patterns after receiving a hip replacement 5 years ago. I knew shortly after that Pilates would be an incredible asset to my Massage Therapy practice. I wanted to get my instructor training so I would be able to correctly incorporate Pilates into my practice but was unsure of which course to take.
Once I learned that Neu Pilates was created by both a Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor I knew that I had come to the right place. I believe the integration of the physiotherapy theory and Pilates movements plus the addition of Massage Therapy creates such a unique experience for my patients. Being able to give them space cues, breathing cues and basic foundational exercises is a game changer. When people injure themselves be it at the gym, everyday life or in an accident I now have the tools to not only treat their injury but also give the ability to achieve pain free movement by teaching the Pilates foundations."
