I've worked with numerous Pilates instructors in Nashville and Julee is far and above the best, most knowledgable, Pilates instructor in the area. --Tammy, Age 42
I had hip replacement and chronic lower back pain. Then I was diagnosed with MS. I lead a very sedentary lifestyle. My doctor suggested I try Pilates. Private sessions got me moving again by strengthening my core muscles and improving my flexibility. --Bart, Age 57
