Testimonial 

I use many of Lisa's programs with my students such as How to Improve your Pointe Range, Front Splits Fast and My Beginner Pointe Program and my students and I are seeing great results. I recently attended the Level 2 Flexibility Teacher Training program, and feel so empowered by this new found knowledge. I have already begun incorporating what I have learned with my student at the beginning of class with our warm up. I will use one class each month to focus on one area from the course. My private students will receive a personalized program based on well thought out assessments that I learned from Lisa during this training course. I am so excited to see the improvement in the coming months!
