"I'm a former college athlete (but now in my 30s) and was somewhat skeptical about Pilates until my sister and parents got me into it. I also have a couple of herniated discs. I work in front of a computer all day, which does not do wonders for posture, back, strength etc unless you really take care of yourself. Noa and I have been working together for almost two years now, and I've seen really dramatic improvements. Noa really listens, is responsive to feedback, and takes a very practical approach to Pilates -- something I appreciate. I wish I had started working with Noa earlier. She's interesting, funny and finds a nice balance between being a great teacher and pushing you to become better. I'd recommend her to anyone. I now am able to do a whole range of things I was not able to do "pain-free" prior to linking up with Noa - whether it by lifting my son out of his crib or running a competitive 10K."
