Testimonial for certification course held in February 2007.

After long and careful research about where in the world to travel in order to participate in certification course, we chose Pilates Studio Bangkok and not once have we regret our choice. After taking contact with Ory, she gave all the answers we needed about participating and traveling to Thailand, ensuring us, that we were heading to the right direction. After traveling to the other side of the world, we found ahead well equipped studio, with nice and dedicated personnel, nice course mates and important of all – we met our wonderful teacher Ory, who’s dedication to Pilates and to her work is just admirable. She is wonderful and skilled teacher – demanding but understanding, expressive, perspicuous and winsome at the same time. The course was well structured, logical, intreresting and thorough.        We learned a lot during these weeks spent in Bangkok, we loved the city, the people, the studio and our teacher. We couldn’t hope for better and we are clad that we came and gave our self an opportunity to learn and develop.

Taking the course rewarded me in so many ways. I’ve developed strong relationships with other instructors who are always willing to share their knowledge. But the biggest reward was to work with individuals who suffer from lower back pain (due to poor posture, weak muscles or herniated disc) and hear them say that they felt better after their session with me.         Overall, the certification course has given me the confidence to keep challenging myself and to share my knowledge with others. And for this I will always be thankful to Ory and the team at the Pilates Studio.

“After studying Pilates, my back is much stronger, I have become more flexible and my posture has improved. I really enjoy learning Pilates with Or-yah who is very experienced and knowledgeable and makes you see that nothing is impossible (except trying to do Pilates laughing!).”

Pilates is the only exercise programme that I have ever done which I actually look forward to and miss when I can't make it to a session - in fact the only problem with Pilates is that it is totally addictive. After three months of fairly regular Pilates sessions, I feel stronger and more flexible, exercises that seemed impossible when I started are suddenly do-able: although Ory never lets us get complacent as there is always a way to make an exercise just that little bit more challenging. As teacher, Ory manages to combine the discipline of a drill sergeant with a sensitive awareness of what the student can manage. You don't get away with much but you thank her for it afterwards.

“Or-yah is a very dedicated instructor who takes her job very seriously. I have had many experiences with private instructors and I can easily say that she has proven herself to be the best. Since injuring my leg I am doing Pilates lessons with Or-yah and the improvement has been tremendous .Or-yah is always encouraging, and alert to anything that is not performed properly. When certain exercises cannot be preformed due to an injury or other factors she immediately finds an alternative. Working with the Pilates equipment has been am amazing experience for me.
I have been taking Pilates and Yoga classes with Or-yah for over 2 years; she has guided me through a pregnancy and now through my injury. It is always a pleasure to come to Or-yah for instruction and am always left with a feeling of satisfaction”.

 After hearing the story of Pilates from friends in North America, I searched Bangkok for a Pilates instructor for several months. I couldn't have found a better, more focused teacher than Ory. Starting from nothing, she taught me the basics and gave me the confidence I needed to continue on. I noticed improvements in my strength, flexibility and posture after only a few classes. Ory is a great instructor and amazing mentor for anyone interested in improving their physical fitness. Bangkok is very fortunate to have someone so dedicated to teaching the Pilates method.

"Pilates is addictive!!" As a very unfit and exhausted mother of two small children finding time for exercise had been very difficult. When I started Pilates classes I quickly learnt to really enjoy the physical and mental benefits of this amazing program. Pilates challenges my body to become stronger and more flexible and my mind to become more focused and positive”.

"What I love about Pilates is the gentle approach to the exercise programme whilst nevertheless working all your muscles in depth and very efficiently. You can really feel your whole body working and strengthening by the minute."
