"I am a professional ballroom competitor, performer and instructor. I spend 40+ hours on the dance floor every week. A variety of past injuries and daily stresses to my muscles make it difficult to keep my body at 100%, especially before shows or competitions. Weekly sessions with Shanta help me maintain the balance I need to stay performance ready. Shanta's extensive dance and alternative healing background make me feel confident that I'm in the best possible hands. In my 10 years of competing nationally I've had long-term relationships with other Pilates instructors, all have contributed to my dancing, but none have pushed me to excel as Shanta has. Her sessions are well thought-out and the exercises she chooses are designed for my individual needs. I appreciate her professionalism and attention to my specific lifestyle."

"I work as a firefighter in a large metropolitan city. I sustained a significant back injury to the lumbar region of my back in 1999. I lived with partial paralysis, pain and sleep depravation for more than a year before I sought treatment (because I'm a tough guy). I received an epidural nerve block with a steroid in the year 2000. This was done after a diagnosis of an inflamed spinal cord disc. I was pain free for several months until I went back to work. After little guidance or rehabilitation, I met Shanta through my girlfriend in 2003. My girlfriend persuaded me to try Pilates. I was skeptical because I could not see how lying down using springs, ropes, balls and rollers could compare to weight resistance using free weights. After training with Shanta for more than two years I can honestly say that Pilates with Shanta's guidance has been the only remedy for my pain."

"I used Shanta in my Chiropratic practice. We had very good results with every patient who did our program. It could fill a book."
