From Pilates and Yoga Students:
I moved to the DC area from Los Angeles, and I lived for a long period in New York City. One of the great benefits of these two locations is access to some of the top trainers and fitness programs in the country. I started studying pilates on the Reformer and Cadillac about 8 years ago in New York. I can say that none of the trainers I worked with (one was $350 an hour) comes close. Suzie’s workouts are always fun and very challenging. She is always coming into our sessions with new knowledge, ideas, or explaining why we are doing a specific exercise. -- Weslie Woodley (Professional Actress/Singer)

I really had fun at yoga today! And it helped me get centered, so I could go back to focusing on my writing process. In fact, even though I hadn't planned on writing today, I found myself totally absorbed in my work all afternoon. :)

When I am in your classes...... I can totally be on my mat, and not worry about what is happening on anyone else's mat.
-- Nicole I., Yoga and Pilates Student
From Dance Students:
"Thank you Mrs. C for all of your help this year. In 8 short months you took us from not knowing the difference between a shuffle and a flap, to tapping in front of a sell-out Cappies Crowd at the Kennedy Center."
-- Cast Thank You Letter, Thoroughly Modern Millie, 2007 South County Secondary School, Lorton, VA
From Educators:
"Your style is pleasant, warm, and friendly while being definitely in charge and firm, even at the end of a school year...I am really pleased with how you were able to match your pedagogical principles and general approach to yoga to the needs of a younger (and perhaps more restless) age group, and to keep things moving fast enough for the kids. Your open, accepting style of "practicing not perfecting" yoga positions is great and clearly these children responded to that well. I could see several of their yoga positions and breathing practice attempts "shape up" as they tried each position several times. In short, a WONDERFUL LESSON!" - Prof. Pat Dodds, University of Mass.
