I’ve been into Pilates since 2009. It was something that I was curious about. When I entered the class I was the ONLY black girl. I was like what is wrong this is a great exercise for balance. Also I noticed NO black instructors which was odd to me. But guess who shows up (Paula) who showed me how the reformer worked & her version of Pilates. OMG what a feeling! She’s AMAZING & guess what she has CURVES. What more could you ask for in an instructor. I really LOVE her!

I LOVED Paula Marie’s Afro Pilates class! She is an amazing instructor and breaks moves down so that they are accessible to any level. She has a such a positive light and energy and I was smiling the entire class!! It was such a wonderful highlight of my day. Thank you Paula!!

It was such a pleasure to talk with you after all these years. As I was contemplating an exercise program and Pilates again, you immediately came to mind. You were a remarkable personal trainer for me and I can't wait to get back.

This class is awesome. I feel longer and more aligned. I got my sweat on and felt safe with every exercise. I love her humor and joy. Dance and Pilates is such a great mix of cardio, strengthening and FUN!

Paula Marie thank you so much for this incredible class! Combining movement, dance, Pilates got my heart rate going, connected me with my core, and gave me a comprehensive full body workout. The cues were anatomically precise and motivating, and most importantly moving to the beat while doing Pilates opened up a whole new experience- so FUN! I cann
