“Lili Viola taught us Pilates for two months this summer as our usual instructor was ill.
She is a remarkable instructor with a gentle and sensitive manner. We feel fortunate to have had her even for a brief time.”

“Lili has a deep understanding of the physical make up of the body and the challenges that pregnancy applies to the individual woman. I came to Lili after having my second child and wishing to recover from child birth. She has motivated me to challenge myself through her understanding of pilates, commitment to each student and her kind and loving demeanour. I would recommend her highly. She will help you to fall in love with Pilates. Pilates has resulted in me loosing the pregnancy pound and feeling great.

As a former gymnast, maintaining my flexibility, overall strength, balance, and muscle tone is really important to me. Lili is a truly wonderful instructor, who makes me push myself, is extremely meticulous and always aware of my body. She is positive, motivating, and very detailed in her instructions. She provides an excellent variety of exercises, mat and reformer, in every session, and always asks how I'm feeling. I come out feeling energized, stretched, and great about my body.

I have been getting Pilates instruction from Lili Viola for almost 4 years. At the beginning, I was new to Pilates and did not realize what an exceptional instructor Lili is. One class with another instructor at my fitness club made me realize how good she is. She is very knowledgeable about the exercises, breathing, and the body and has a keen eye. She is able to see when you are not in the correct position and will help you move into the right one, although you might think that you have barely moved at all (How was she able to see that small difference?) She is extremely creative as well using imagery to help you visualize the movement you are suppose to make throughout an exercise. Her creativity and knowledge are also exhibited by the ease in which she is able to modify exercises when she is working with someone with injuries or using equipment. Lili is a very pleasant person and it is clear that she has a passion for teaching Pilates. I always feel so centred after a Pilates session with Lili. I highly recommend her.
