Testimonials
-
“Naweeda is definitely an expert in her field, but more than that, she is passionate about what she does and naturally enthuses and inspires us to improve ourselves, one step at a time. I love everything about the Pilates class—from the expertise and experience of the teacher and the welcoming, sisterly class environment to the sheer convenience of accessing it from the privacy and comfort of home. All of these aspects set the class apart from the rest, but undoubtedly the best thing about it is the genuine love and care Naweeda gives her students and her truly holistic approach to fitness. She always links body, mind, and spirit, bringing it all back to being grateful to our Creator.”
