Thanks to this program, I returned home and found myself quickly becoming one of the most popular instructors in Stockholm. By focusing on the movement and core principles behind each Pilates exercise—and not only on its sequences or “steps”—Teri gave me the competitive edge that most other instructors lacked. My practice soon became so popular that in 2006, I opened my own Pilates studio.”
-Linda Eek (Stockholm, Sweden)

"Thanks Teri! It has been a pleasure learning through you as an instructor in multiple mediums, both recently and previously."
