Theresa,

Thank you for your quick response.  I was so anxious to give the DVD a
try, that I purchased it at my local Family Christian Store yesterday
afternoon. 

I am an avid walker, but I felt some Pilates and strengthening would be
really beneficial for me, especially at this stage in my life (I just
turned 38... and would like to increase my muscle tone and hopefully
lose about 10-12 lbs. in the process).  So, yes, I am new to Pilates.  I
have been using Leslie Sansone's "You Can Do Pilates" for about a week.
This was a good intro for me and I can already feel the difference in my
strength and posture, but I felt I would enjoy and benefit from an
additional Pilates workout DVD.  Then I came upon your website after
doing a Google search for Christian Pilates, and I was so excited!

So, I used your "Pilates for the Soul" this morning, and I absolutely
LOVE it!  Not only is it a fantastic Pilates workout and challenging,
but it soothes and inspires as well!  I have to be at work by 6:30 a.m.
every morning, which means I have to be up having my quiet time with the
Lord at 5:10 a.m.  When I was looking into Pilates I really wanted
something that wasn't too long because I knew in order to do it, I would
have to get up even earlier in the morning and do it before my quiet
time.  So now I am able to start this workout at 4:45 a.m., AND not only
is my body being strengthened, but my spirit is as well!  The beautiful
location on the DVD is an inspiration (I love that it is outdoors!)!
The music is wonderful, and your incorporation of Scripture into the
workout, sets my mind on things above.  The biggest bonus, is that in
addition to all this, it also prepares my heart for my quiet time with
the Lord!

So, thank you, thank you, thank you... for being such a willing and
yielded vessel for the Lord... to bless me (and all of us) in such a
way!  I encourage you to continue in this calling to offer Godly
inspiration while tending to what is beneficial for the body (our
temples).

May God bless you richly bless you!   Philemon 4-7

Theresa,
 
I just want to let you know that your DVD, Pilates for the soul has helped shape, strengthen my body.  All the aches and pains are gone.  I love the fact that your DVD is so instructional that I am constantly aware of holding my core strength and not over using my neck and shoulders.  Because I own Owensboro Therapeutic Massage and Owensboro School of Massage I have a wonderful tool in your DVD to suggest to my clients of all ages that this is just what they need to help get rid of their pain complaints and many clients have thanked me.  As a massage therapist, it is important to keep a strong back as well as all the abdominal muscles to keep a healthy quality of life through out our practice.  I thank you so much for your knowledge and instructional guidance in this wonderful exercise.

I just purchased your DVD yesterday and had my first session. I thoroughly enjoyed this workout video and seriously hope you are led to make more. I especially liked the scriptures throughout the workout. One of the best products on the exercise DVD market for sure! Thanks again for creating it! Looking forward to more!

Before Pilates, I could not perform one unassisted sit-up. Sadly, I would have to help push myself up with my arms. In using Pilates for the Soul, I learned to connect with the deep core muscles of my abdomen, and through Theresa’s guidance, I can now perform numerous abdominal exercises. This transformation happened for me in surprisingly little time.

Frankly, after just one session with this video, I could feel a difference in the way I connected with my body. This video has definitely helped me gain firmer abs and a stronger, more flexible back. Now, I even stand taller!

I enjoy this video because of its holistic approach to exercise. Pilates for the Soul offers unique combination of an intense workout infused with a relaxing experience. This is so different from all of the other exercises that I have tried. When I connect my mind-body-spirit, I receive a sense of wellness and peace that I often desperately crave.

Being a busy, working mom, I am always looking for a way to find balance in my life. Pilates for the Soul is an excellent tool for anyone who desires to obtain strength and flexibility while connecting to a deeper, more soulful self.

Hello Theresa

Before I got saved and became born again I used to do Pilates, but a Christian brother told me that Yoga and Pilates should not be done by Christians? I have had problems with my back for years and Pilates really helped so I was upset that I wouldn’t be able to do these exercises anymore. Recently my back has been very bad and the Chiropractor and Massages have not helped, so I thought I would have a look on the internet for Christian Pilates. As there is not usually any chanting (like Yoga) I though it would be OK. I just typed in Christian Pilates and found your website. I am really looking forward to doing it again as it really helped my posture and toning up my muscles last time.

 

God Bless you,

I saw you this morning on television. I couldn’t wait for these DVD’s to get to Family Christian Book Store! I will use this DVD as part of our ladies retreat during Spa night. Our theme is “More than Skin Deep.” And of course, for myself. Thanks, Theresa!

I received your DVD yesterday and immediately began Pilates. It was so relaxing and soothing. I thank you for being a faithful servant of our God! I walk 5 days a week before I teach school in Dawson Springs. I was looking for an extra exercise to tone and strengthen my body. Your DVD is perfect. I won’t do anything that isn’t fun. Your DVD is just the right amount of time too.

God Bless!
