TEst Prep
Former Apprentice & Current studio47 Instructor
I recently attended multiple Pilates trainings led by Mora and WOW! It was an amazing experience.
Through both weekends, Mora led with positivity and grace! She offered valuable resources and created a supportive group dynamic. Her teaching style helped make complex concepts easy to understand. Her motivation and encouragement were truly inspiring!
I highly recommend Mora for anyone seeking to enhance their Pilates knowledge and skills. This training has been a game-changer in my Pilates journey and I’m so grateful for her guidance.
"Since working with Mora, I have progressed quickly in both my personal Pilates practice and teaching."
