  • I am proud to call myself the product of the Formation™ method

    “Throughout my time with her, Shira has taught me more about mindful movement than many years of athleticism had. Her thorough and thoughtful approach conveyed the science and practice behind the Pilates method. But it was her confident voice and passionate soul that touched the hearts and minds of every single one of the trainees, myself included. 

    I am proud to call myself the product of the Formation method, and will continue to hold that name with pride through my sports career in the years to come. “
