“It has been a pleasure to find such a highly professional Pilates teacher, Michelle Dowell, and the Advanced Reformer course she offers. I always look forward to attending each week. It has been the ideal fit for me as a ballet teacher, as I need to keep strength and flexibility to a high level. I am grateful to Michelle for being so attentive to details and so people-oriented. I would recommend The Pilates Connection to everyone who desires to be challenged and at the same time to socialize with a wonderful team!”
