Practicioner Testimonial - Anke Wagner
“Thank you for this beautiful & enriching course. With your professionalism and eye for detail you have set the benchmark for online learning in the Yoga/Pilates/ Fitness world!
The course not only teaches you exercises in a therapeutic format, it also educates you in a lot of other areas like anatomy, biomechanics, Yoga and Pilates as well. The rehab and remedial repertoire in the hammock gave me more ideas, skills and confidence to work with a new range of clients who are normally not on my scope of practice.”
Anke Wagner – Pilates Practitioner, Rowville VIC

Studio Owner Testimonial - Catherine Nicolas
“The 150HR course has been a wonderfully enriching and enlightening journey into the world of aerial yoga for therapeutic application. Both fascinating and practical, Renae has created a comprehensive course which has equipped me with the skills to literally add a new dimension to my 1:1 Pilates and Aerial Yoga teaching. The value of the hammock in a therapeutic setting is enormous for working with both injuries and conditions, and for addressing mental health and trauma informed practice. Renae brings an incredible depth of knowledge and experience together with her calm and Centered delivery to inspire and educate.
I recommend this course for studio instructors working 1:1 with clients, and to other practitioners seeking to add a new skill set to their practice. Renae is inspiring and the course is beautifully put together so that it’s interesting, the pace is great and the learning is enjoyable.”
