When we can trust and express ourselves through our bodies, we are unlimited in our ability to change ourselves and our communities for the better. As movement teachers and coaches, we have the power to help people experience this for themselves. Exchanging ideas and changing people’s lives, one session at a time. This is the pilates exchange.
