Testimonial: Liza- Classical Pilates Teacher, California.
Sandra has magic eyes.
Sanni has helped me find innumerable connections in my Pilates practice, to name a few: finding a long tall spine during footwork by breathing into my back ribs, finding that elusive long reach of the tailbone in Up-stretch, Elephant and then trying to find it in all the exercises. Sanni has really helped me understand the Pilates method by trying to apply the following 3 movement principles in all my exercises: find length, move from centre, and make it a full-body movement When I work with Sanni, I get a deep, from-the-core Pilates workout that I would never get doing Pilates on my own.
Sanni is a teacher’s teacher. In fact, she’s my Pilates teacher’s teacher. She has a deep understanding of the Pilates method and she’s able to communicate skillfully with her words, tactile cues and just her way of being, which is positive, uplifting, smart and funny.
I have a consistent Pilates practice because of Sanni. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the exercises that I aspire to one day have. More impressive is just her ability to teach with clarity and ease that just comes from really knowing your stuff and having a natural talent for communicating and connecting with people effortlessly.
Testimonial: Chelsea- Classical Pilates Teacher Trainer and Studio Owner, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Wow! I was truly impressed by how much I got out of online classes and privates.
Sandra has a broad base of knowledge she draws from and is able to find creative solutions for correcting exercises.
The tailored recovery programme she designed for my hip injuries and her follow-up support was truly appreciated. To this day, 2 years later, I still follow this with much success. I also really value Sandra’s precise cueing, which is continuously strengthening weaker areas and maximising opportunities.
100% strongly recommend Contrology NZ as a studio and online school!
I have found that Contrology NZ attracts extremely supportive, positive members who encourage each other. I leave feeling uplifted and positive (as well as good and sweaty) after each session!
