Catherine has an uncanny eye for "precision" in movement, something I noticed immediately over 10 years ago during my first Pilates lesson with her. While making the finest correction she also manages to keep every session "flowing" with complete energy. The Spirit she infuses into my work-out keeps me pushing myself, while feeling challenged, and having a good time all at once!
My formal Pilates Education under Catherine's mentorship as a Teacher Trainer with the United States Pilates Association has been not only impressive but inspiring. As the oldest professional Pilates Certification Program globally, with the only direct legacy to Joseph Pilates' original work, I knew it was the only choice for my training. I can honestly say their Workshops and Seminars are of a truly unique and exceptional caliber. I have been happy and fulfilled with every aspect of my Pilates journey throughout!

Although I had heard of Pilates, I had never taken a class until I took a lesson from Catherine on a spur of the moment visit to her studio. She introduced me to Pilates w/patience, support, and a thorough explanation at every turn. I have known Catherine for over 25 years, and was impressed with her level of knowledge, and professionalism. I left feeling invigorated and inspired, and wanting more! She said that is exactly what her mentor, "Romana from New York" had infused into her students many years ago...I can't wait for my next Pilates experience at PRI!

I had my fist Pilates lesson with Catherine over 10 years ago. I was impressed right away with her wealth of knowledge, and level of expertise. She has consistently managed each session with patience, support, and encouragement. Lessons focus on different objectives, using various equipment to achieve them in the best possible way~some days we, "just move" and enjoy the energy. It's a great balance for me. I am thankful for having made the initial inquiry based on a whim~my intuition was completely "spot on"!

Tor is a highly knowledgeable and caring Pilates professional who I have had the pleasure of working with regularly for over 5 years. She is a joy to work with, being constantly aware of and responding to your ever changing physical requirements and needs. She consistently provides new insights and tweaks to improve your derived benefit and total experience. Tor is simply "the best".

Since I started Pilates over five years ago with Tori, I have not been back to the chiropractor once. Each session is designed to keep me as flexible and strong as possible~no easy feat! Tori is a complete pleasure~And NOT at all surprisingly, it's always a joy to work with her!

I have trained with Tori at Pilates Rhode Island in both private and Mat classes for over 10 years. She is a WARM, personable, and intuitive Teacher who makes my weekly Pilates experience one that I always look forward to. When I had an injury related to another activity, Tori responded proactively with new and ingenious ways to modify exercises which otherwise may have caused me discomfort. I highly recommend Tori, and Pilates RI to anyone who wants to try Pilates for the first time, or who just wants "get back into it!"
