Testimonials
Some nice things people say about Tailored Pilates:
‘I first met Ingrida in April of 2007, and I have been hooked on Tailored Pilates ever since! I started because I wanted to be toned and lean, and now not only have I accomplished my initial goals but I am also much healthier. Working with Ingrida enabled me to have a much better understanding of my body, and she has helped improve my posture, my alignment and muscle tone. In my opinion, what makes Tailored Pilates stand out from the many pilates studios in London is the incredible wealth of knowledge and dedication with which Ingrida and her team approach each client.’
Sedef Onar, client since April 2007‘I first met Ingrida in 2006 when she was working as a freelance pilates instructor at a studio. Ingrida’s expertise and phenomenal healing abilities quickly made her the number one requested instructor. Ingrida’s client training skill, so superior to that of other instructors, caused clients to refuse to work with anyone but her.
When I began my training with Ingrida, my shoulder was frozen, my knees hurt and gave out, my ankle got stuck and I could not place any weight on my right foot without pain. I was regularly kept awake at night from discomfort and during the day, every step hurt. I now move around painlessly and sleep peacefully (well, sometimes). Occassionally, my ankle still gets stuck. Still I cannot run, but I have experienced such improvement physically through Ingrida’s coaching that my general well-being and quality of life has improved immeasurably.
Ingrida is a fabulous intelligent teacher who listens, hears, and acts (in three languages): Motivating her students to attempt, achieve, attain, and acknowledge their success. Ingrida is always encouraging, and meets all challenges with excitement and vigour. Ingrida’s zest for well-being is contagious and she nourishes one with her positive engergy, even as she stretches one’s leg muscles beyond their previous pain threshold.
Her giving approach to life and body for herself and others enables her students to achieve. I look forward to my sessions with Ingrida and feel a void when I miss one. She has a special gift which great teachers have — to be able not only to personally model but also to train their students to be happy and comfortable modellers of positive action which is inherently good for themselves. This creates physical and mental fitness, and further nurtures a positive inner awareness which then spreads outward to others in their lives. I see and hear this improving and evolving phenomena happening with myself and other students of Ingrida. Ingrida teaches people how nourishing and nurturing themselves gives, from them, something good to the world.’
Kim Karmozyn, client since April 2006“Ingrida is an excellent teacher combining superb technical skills with a genuine interest in and understanding of her clients. Her passion for what she does is infectious and she drives you constantly to improve. She is a perfectionist. Following many years of learning Pilates with Ingrida I am now doing Gyrotonic. It complements Pilates and has given me improved mobility, posture and strength. You also get a very good workout!”
Jo Lloyd, client since September 2006“I was recommended to Pilates by a physiotherapist following a major stomach operation. My objective was simply to rebuild my core strength. Ingrida has fortunately taken a total body view. We therefore have also been addressing issues I have had with my feet since child hood as well as the damage that I have introduced to my body through over 60 years of living. Whilst the programme is not without a certain amount of pain I am delighted by the progress we have made, (I say “we” since I feel that Ingrida is personally involved in what I am doing). Ingrida has the approach and ability of pushing one just to their limits at the time so that progress is as rapid as it can be. My only regret is that I did not find Ingrida and Pilates sooner.”
