Thanks for the Hugs
If it wasn't for you - we wouldn't be here and that is why we wanted to share some of the "hugs" you have given us through your words.

"Thank you so much. I enjoy coming into your space. It has helped me both physically and emotionally.
April you all have created a positive space for Urban Pilates and I will continue to tell people about my experience."

"It has been my good fortune to discover April Tillman at Urban Pilates. April's attentive and intuitive focus has truly been a blessing for me and my well being. Years of poor posture and limited movement lead to extreme lower back pain making simple things like putting on shoes almost impossible. My search for relief guided me to April and I'm happy to say after just a few private lessons I am now PAIN FREE!
No longer hindered by pain, I'm currently working with her as she meticulously guides me through a series of movements designed for building core strength and greater range of motion. I have found the information offered in each session to be quite helpful when I'm on my own as I adapt it to my everyday life. I highly recommend private lessons at Urban Pilates for one on one support and attention to detail specifically geared towards your needs."

"I'm generally reluctant to go to a gym or a studio for a workout, mainly because I train and play enough soccer to stay relatively fit. However, I've had uncomfortably tight hamstrings for many years so I felt that I needed to try something different to maintain and improve my fitness and flexibilty. Plus, I'm not getting any younger so my recovery seems to take longer.
I've heard enough positive feedback regarding pilates and isolated stretching over the years from other soccer players that I had to give it a try. The main feedback I've heard is that pilates will strengthen your core and the active stretching component can help with your flexibility, especially the troubled spots like my hamstrings. It just seemed like a no-brainer- who couldn't benefit from a stronger core and more flexibility?
Since giving it a shot, I've had immediate results. It became clear that I don't stretch enough so this training was so obviously helpful. After doing one of Heather Thompson's AIS group classes and an introductory pilates class with April Tillman, my legs were shaking. It was great! My body was telling me where I needed to focus. I then followed up with a private AIS class. Once again, my legs were shaking with appreciation. Now, I feel like I have more balance, more strength, more flexibilty, and quicker recovery after training and games. Now, I'm telling all my teammates that they need to go to Urban Pilates and try this. The proof is in the results. I can't wait to have my legs shaking again because it only means good things. Don't be frightened, it's all good."
