"The Stretch-eze Pilates Mat Certification was clear, well organized, and really well taught by amazing instructors. Honestly, it’s one of the most well thought-out courses I’ve taken, even after 19 years of teaching Pilates. The Stretch-eze band is a total game changer for client movement and feedback. We’ve had it in the studio for years but weren’t using it to its full potential. Now we know how to seamlessly incorporate it into almost every session, and it’s made a huge difference."

Laura Tate, Co-Owner, Infinity Pilates

"Being based in the UK, I was delighted when Stretch-eze created an on-line training and it most certainly did not disappoint. The on-demand training offers bite-size specific tutorials as opposed to hours in one shot, making it easy to recap without endless scrolling. I found it very informative and would totally recommend the training."

Helen Pybus, Pilates Educator (helenpybus.com)

"I am loving the Stretch-eze course, loving working and playing with Stretch-eze, and loving starting to teach with the band! So fascinating to see and hear how my clients react! I watch them finding alignment and movement that they'd not felt before. Ane everyone seems to also find the Stretch-eze to be such fun!"

Hope Wohl, Pilates Instructor

"I live in Hong Kong and this course is quite different from what I learned in Pilates before. It's my first time gaining awareness of my body and sensations. The most important lesson has been how to slow down. Whenever I feel too tense I practice with the Stretch-eze, which has been particularly helpful for my back pain. The explanations from Nigel and Zila in teh 32 videos are very clear, and the demonstrations by Michael and Emmeline are excellent. As far as I know, there aren't any courses like this in my city, and I truly hope more people can benefit from this fabric."

Phyllis Lai, Pilates Instructor

"The Stretch-eze Pilates Mat Certification was one of the best courses I've done - clear, organized and well-taught. The band is an amazing tool for sensory feedback, total body engagement, and awareness. It provides a perfect combination of resistance and assistance and stands out because it's not just another prop; it changes the quality of movement, not just the shape of it."

Danielle Andrade, Founder, Control Pilates by Dani

"Zila and Nigel have created a top-notch certification program for Stretch-eze. I left the day completely confident that I would be able to incorporate Stretch-eze into sessions with my clients. The workbook, along with the videos provided are a wonderful frame of reference for any questions I have had. My clients love Stretch-eze and have been able to experience seonsory movement in a way they have never felt before. I would highly recommend Stretch-eze as an additional training tool to any studio that desires to enhance their clients' movement experience."

Lisa Diffey, Co-Owner, Infinity Pilates

 

"At the Stretch-eze in-person training I learned how the Stretch-eze is as playful as it is a relaxing container for cacooning. It has become my go to prop for myself, students, family and friends for peaceful nourishment of the body, mind and spirit. The Stretch-eze gently guides your body through movement, helping you find the sweet spot between effort and ease. It wraps aroudn you with jsut the right support giving muscles and connective tissue feedback as you move."

Wendy Becker, Founder, Axis Vitality
