TESTIMONIALS
"Debbie is very body aware and has a grounded and friendly disposition that made me feel at ease and focused. As someone who has faced lower back and knee issues for the past several years, it was important for me to work with an experienced practitioner with a physical therapy type approach, who had extensive familiarity with "how the body works". I highly recommend working with Debbie if you want to use Pilates as a way to heal an old injury, to re-align your body into more healthy positions or to gain a greater awareness of how you currently move/walk/etc. compared to how you can move/walk/etc. Working with Debbie gave me all of these things. I would definitely work with her again without hesitation." --Christine T.
"Debbie is a gifted teacher who is intelligent and authentic. Her thoughtful approach to alignment and movement is based in her desire to truly help people. She is interested in helping students at every level and ability to live with more physical freedom. Debbie cares about every student that walks through her door. Every time I take Debbie's class I leave feel renewed and recharged." --Nicole M.
"Fabulous. Debbie Lai's one-on-one instruction has been invaluable for me, as a person with severe scoliosis. She tailors everything to what my body is capable of - while continually ensuring my body is capable of more each session than the last. Can't recommend SF Pilates & Debbie Lai highly enough - especially for those with chronic pain & motor disorders." --Jean B.
"We wanted to start yoga classes once a week at our office and Debbie came highly recommended. After one class it was easy to see why. She tailored the instruction to our individual capabilities and never made less experienced people (me) feel less than. What's special about Debbie is that she's relentless in her pursuit of alignment and "growing taller" physically and mentally. I feel very lucky to have had her as my first instructor because I learned the adjustments I need to make in order to get the most out of my practice moving forward. Her playlist is always on point, and she's a wonderful human being." --Melissa M.
"Debbie uses great analogies to explain the goal of an exercise. She is sweet, patient, and keeps sessions fun, during all that hard work." -- Leslie N.
"I am an athletic, yoga savvy but sadly scoliotic older woman who can attest to the remarkable effectiveness of Debbie's work. Not only has her combined Yoga/Pilates focus improved my posture and reduced my aches, it has enabled me to regain a flatter stomach and smaller waist, so not only do I feel better, I look better too!" --Judy A.
"Debbie is an amazing teacher! She is inspiring and extremely motivating! She's not only a kind person but extremely educated and knowledgeable with her training. A lot of teachers can be intimidating and unapproachable but Debbie makes you feel like you are walking into her home. She is truly a friend instantly! Debbie is the type of yoga teacher that not only keeps you interested but helps you push through to a result! She inspires you to be the best you can be." --Megan H.
