What clients say about their experiences with Equipoise - enlightened exercise and Lavinia:

Angela Kim, professional skater, certified pilates instructor:
Lavinia has played a big role in my success as a figure skater. More than physical exercise, she has taught me about quality of life. She has been so helpful through the years and has made a such a difference in my recovery from ankle surgery. Lavinia is one of the most caring persons; her passion for her work truly sets her apart from the rest.
   
     


Bob Bourn, former athlete,survivor of knee and hip surgeries:

Lavinia helped me prepare for my third hip replacement. I felt better after our sessions and was able to walk with less stiffness.

   
     

Rebecca Slusher, runner and yoga practitioner:
I have worked with Lavinia over four years. More than just a pilates instructor, she is knowledgeable about ballet, yoga, strength training, therapeutic exercise, anatomy and physiology. She has helped me stay fit with a program I could use at home while I rehabbed from a broken foot. Her devotion to fitness has motivated me to reach levels of physical ability and mental focus I never dreamed I could attain. Her passion, knowledge, and humor are an inspiration.


   
     



Jessica King, professional ballet dancer:
Lavinia's knowledge has made practically all the difference in helping Jessica to understand her own structure and improve her strength, flexibility, placement, and technique. I love watching Lavinia work. She is enthusiastic, caring, and positive, and makes Jessica feel happy and encouraged. I recommend Lavinia and Equipoise to others without hesitation.
