" Wonderful workshop! I work with many seniors at my Pilates studio and studied active aging in my college kinesiology classes. This demographic can be intimidating to some instructors but I find it very rewarding. I enjoy Valentin's style - keeping the pace flowing yet allowing the client to feel successful in their movement practice. Thank you Valentin! "
