"Oh my Gosh, it makes such a difference to work with/on the foam roller. Loved the core exercises! Great course, beyond my expectations! I loved it! Very knowledgeable explanations and lots of options to play with. Thank you Josie so much for your wonderful courses. I wish I've signed up for more courses with you with the actual pilates sequences. This course helped me to realize my weak points.  :-D"
