I have been attending Pilate lessons with Luz for over a year and I have enjoyed every lesson.

I have noticed significant changes in my posture and the strength of my body.  Before I started Pilate lessons with Luz I was suffering from lower back pain, Pilates has strengthened my body and evened out my posture so I no longer suffer from this problem.

Luz always puts 100% effort into every class and adapts the class to the specific areas of my body that I need to improve and strengthen. She is also very motivating and really makes you feel that it is possible to achieve your goals.

I would highly recommend lessons with Luz and she is one of the most caring people I have met.

Thanks for everything Luz!

I started private pilate sessions with Luz about 6 months ago.

Luz enthusiam and commitment to pilates instruction is second to none.  Luz designs individual programs and no 2 sessions are ever the same.

Through the work I have done with Luz in mat based sessions, I have learnt hugh amounts about my body and how to stay healthy.

I always enjoy and feel energised and relaxed after my sessions with Luz.  I would totally recommend Luz as a Pilates instruction as she is 100% dedicated in helping people reach their goals.

Luz is one of the nicest, caring people I have ever met.

Thanks for everything Luz.

I started private pilate classes with Luz about 4 months ago.

I look forward to my classes with Luz I love every minute of them. I feel the benifits of everything Luz is teaching me. Luz is so dedicated to her job, she is such a great teacher and such and insperation.

Luz explains what all the exercises are for and what they are doing for the body. I have never met such a dedicated person before, Luz is just so wonderful to be with.

I would recommend anyone to have lessons with Luz.

Thank you Luz for everything.

i started pilates with Luz since 2009, and since then, i feel very good, i don't have back pain anymore.Pilates is really different from the other sports, it doesn't make you tired but better as your body and mind are concerned. After pilates class, i feel relax and energetic. I think the way the teacher is teaching is very important and Luz is really talented and attentive to how each student is and feels to adapt each class.

I met Luz 3 years ago. She was a Pilates instructor and I started to work with her. She helped me to build on the essence and principles of the J. Pilates work by incorporating modern knowledge about my body.

I take yoga classes with her and cycling classes . I can not tell which class is better.
In all these classes, she was focusing ona strenghth, flexibility and endurance, without risking injury or building bulk. Luz helped me to restore the curves of my spine, relieve tension and enhance self-confidence.
I have got balanced and aligned body that looks fit(I hope so!!!),I feel revitalized and I move with ease.
She inspired me to become Pilates instructor.
Well done Luz!

Namaste,

Jasna

Prenatal Yoga with Luz is one of the best memories I from my first pregnancy. 
It helped me to stay fit and feel good in my body and my mind.
During the last 5 months of my pregnancy, I went twice a week to warm Luz’s studio.  I must say that those sessions improved my life quality and brought me peaceful mind and good energy. 
Though the sessions, Luz professionally guided me with yoga positions adapted to pregnancy, deep relaxation and special connection with my baby. Also, when I came to her with specific problems like back pain or swollen ankles, she restructured the session around this problem.  She has demonstrated great professionalism and has earned my trust quickly.  It was very comforting for me to have a resource like Luz.  Since his birth, my baby has a very relax and calm personality, maybe yoga has something to do with it.
After giving birth, Luz helped me going back in shape.  She tailored me a special Pilates training for my specific needs.  Even. If I had a caesarean, she safely coached me though all the steps required to get my body shape has it use to be. Today, 9 months after giving birth, I am on my previous weight, my shape is better than ever and I feel good in my body. 
Luz also welcomed my baby to the class for the days I did not have babysitter.  She created some sessions with him by teaching me exercises that I reproduced at home as play context. This has been great fun for both of us. You should see now how flexible my baby is now!!!
My prenatal yoga classes and Pilates classes with Luz improved my wellbeing through my pregnancy and  post delivery.
She is a really good instructor. She is very professional, creative, attentive and generous of herself; there is never 2 sessions that feel like the same. She knows how to assess your needs and capacities, how to give you targets that will keep you motivate. 

Thank you Luz for this experience and for your support throughout this wonderful journey of pregnancy and motherhood!

I have the chance to be part of Luz’s yoga class , because even if she has always a lot of student's requests for integrating her classes, she keeps a high quality of listening (in keeping most of the time only semi private group), and pays attention to how is your body, and your mind not only the first time you go to the class but every single moment of the class, and she gives very interesting explanations in the same time about the different types of yoga, the origin,the anatomy, the benefits of each pose. Moreover, she adapts the mouvement and advice you about modification if you have any specific problem.
She’s doing restorative yoga as well for people with injury, and use and like to improve her knowledge in reading,teaching, doing specific worshop around the world regularly, and always in touch with physiotherpapist, osteopath…etc
I am very thankful to her because she is always acting in a positive way to make you feel motivate and well in your body and mind.

It is now nearly 3 years ago since I joined Luz' spinning class for the fist time. Before my arrival in Qatar I lived for five years in South Africa, where I also joined spinning. During those years I spinned 4-6 times per week, and I had various coaches. I have been road racing for many years, and I still do. I had the opportunity to cycle nearly all the classic races in Europe and South Africa. Longest distance ever cycled 350 km in 13 hrs. Many times I cycled in bad weather, even under winter conditions. I only share this to let you know that I can suffer. Well, now and then I felt the same with the spinning coaches. They really wanted to let the students suffer, leading to the fact that by the end of the lesson several of the students got off the bikes more dead then alive. With Luz this is really different. Please don't get the impression now that her coaching is easy. No ways. No her lessons are tough as well, but really building on building up, instead of breaking down. She is also very observant and very caring. She notices straight away if somebody is having problems. This all makes me having the view that Luz is a real professional spinning coach. I really hope that I will get the opportunity to join her lessons for the full time that I will still stay in Doha.

I have been taking Pilates classes with Luz now for about 3 months. After 2 difficult pregnancies i found myself with lower back,hip and pelvic problems, i was told that Pilates is the way to go. Luz was recommended to me by several friends and after my first meeting with her i felt confidant that she would be able to help me.
I have been taking classes with her in her wonderfully fully equipped private studio and each class is a completely different experience, each one designed to suit my  personal needs,  and she surprises me with something new every time.
My body and general health have changed so much  in this time, im leaner, more toned, have more strength. Im so much happier and more confident with me new body. This is an added bonus for me because my main reasons for pilates were health issues which im glad to say are improving a lot.
Luz is more than just a Pilates teacher, she has introduced me to a new healthy lifestyle, taught me to respect my body and to love life and for that i am truly grateful. Im glad to be part of the Luz experience!
