    Shan is attentive and gives great personal correction. I've taken lessons with her in person in the UK, and also on line both before Covid, during and since her move to the States, and her eagle eye can spot things as well online as they can in the room. I love to take the opportunity to learn from her.

    I have been attending weekly reformer classes with Shan for the last six years - mostly online since Covid - and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her vast Pilates knowledge and continuous learning, together with a medical background is incredible. Classes are always fun yet challenging but as someone with neck problems, everything is always tailored to my limitations. I wish she still lived nearby!
