This review is specifically for the amazing trainer Susanne. I have been to many, many different Pilates trainers over the years. I love the reformer and the way Pilates makes me feel tall, graceful, and naturally cinched in. I am a hairstylist and I also have gotten huge relief in my lower back and hips from doing this excesive. Susanne is the most knowledgeable instructor I have ever worked with. I feel like she knows the body and what it needs. She is the real deal not just going through the motions….

I have worked with Susanne for 12 years and feel refreshed after every session because she is admirably curious about “the human condition” and has a unique ability to address one’s individual needs. As a retired teacher, I especially appreciate her avoidance of a “one size fits all” attitude and her intellectual curiosity about the human body and how it works. For example, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease seven years ago, she immediately read about the disease and found ways to adapt her instruction to my needs. Her perceptiveness has helped me to fight those symptoms and believe that I have some control over the disease.

Susanne is the best! So lucky to be taught by her for many years…many body changes, many locations, many chapters of life. She has been a wonderful teacher of Pilates and had been supportive of tears and laughter. A treasure of a person. So blessed.

Susanne has got everything you want in a Pilates teacher and wellness mentor— experience, knowledge, generosity, humor and compassion. She walks the walk and is incredibly inspirational, yet she’s still relatable. It’s like hanging out with a mythical hero who’s also really chill.

Working with Susanne has been life changing in the way I relate to my body and my emotional self. Susanne has the uncanny ability to connect what is happening with your body to what is happening within your emotional life. I can choose to see how she works with me and my body as a reflection of my emotional life or not. I choose to use it. For me, as a Marriage, Family Therapist, pilates has become a holistic way of staying better connected to my physical body and as a result, I am more present with my emotional part of myself. Susanne’s decades of knowledge of the human body combined with her intuitive knowing, provides the perfect platform for anyone to become more in tune with their body.

Susanne is a truly gifted Pilates teacher! My first introduction to Susanne was through a colleague of mine, Katie Bowes, whom I met at The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado I hosted Susanne at my studio in Spain for a few weeks to teach and conduct workshops for my other teachers. During her time here my other teachers and clients had the opportunity to experience how strong and dedicated she is to her craft. For the past six months I have been taking private Pilates sessions with Susanne through Skype, which have been proven to be extremely beneficial for my own personal progress as well as my teaching. Susanne’s attention to detail, her clarity in cueing and her extensive knowledge of the work has been incredible to experience.

I can’t speak highly enough of Susanne Staehr, with whom I’ve been taking private Pilates sessions for over three years. Susanne is a rigorous, creative, and always supportive teacher. She meets me where I am and pushes me further. I feel extremely fortunate to have a spot on her calendar.
