Early Testimonials for Vectors and Movement: A Fascial Approach - Brazilian Module

I’m a Pilates instructor and Pilates studio owner in Santa Catarina, Brazil. I attended my first Pilates course in 2011 taught by Dr. Elaine de Markondes and since then I’ve been attending every course and workshop taught by her. Now in Vectors & Movement, I am very excited about how she creates an intimacy with the students so that we too feel inspired by her new ideas about the human body and movement. It is very easy to learn with her because she is able to make difficult things easy and gradually teaches us to gain complexity and assurance. Vectors didactic material (eBook and video classes) have a high image and information quality and easy accessibility as well.
