BACK RIVER PILATES

"I have been a client of Deirdre's now for over 10 years and in that time she has done what I previously believed to be impossible - combine fun with a workout. Deirdre knows classical Pilates well and loves sharing it with others. Over the years I have sustained many injuries through other sports and Deirdre has shown me how to continue Pilates with safety as the number one priority. I truly believe my recovery time was reduced as I have been able to stay fit and active despite some other limitations. I look forward to our weekly sessions - Deirdre is more than a trainer, she has become a dear friend."

“Deirdre is the consummate Pilates professional - knowledgeable on each client’s needs, very well informed on technique, and excellent verbal cues… and fun - but tough! And my back and overall fitness are all the better for it.”

“Deirdre’s mat-side manner is a perfect balance of encouragement and rigor. When she puts me through my paces, she’s not a robot; the session doesn’t feel like something she’s done a million times. It’s a personal, prescriptive and ultimately human process.”

I feel SO blessed to have found this Pilates goddess! I have practiced Pilates for 10+ years. I have trained with many instructors and attended many classes at different studios across Houston. From the very first class, I knew this woman knew her stuff! She has so much love for this practice and she's so knowledgeable! Her years of experience allows her to connect with her students like no other teacher I've ever encountered. In her sweet manner, she pushes you beyond where you thought you could go each and every session allowing you to become the best Pilates practitioner you can be. She doesn't demand, but wants her students to know the transitions, be precise and consistent in their movements. Always reminding her students to pull he belly in, breath deeper,, lengthen...all those cues we need to increase our strength and mobility. Pilates has evolved over the years and there are many options out there. If you care about learning the most authentic classical Pilates, similar to what Joseph Pilates taught himself, this is the real deal. Deirdre exudes this practice in the best way possible.
