Love love love Sheppard Method Pilates! My friend, who has been practicing Pilates for a couple of years, was referred to Sheppard Method's teacher training program by a Pilates instructor at an unaffiliated studio. I was in the midst of a career change and my friend asked me if I'd like to do the program as well. At this time I had only been doing Pilates for two months, and while I said yes, part of me was terrified due to my limited experience. Let me tell you, I am beyond glad that I decided to move forward!
Prior to the start of the course, I was straight-up clueless about my own body! Risa and Janine, the gurus running the teaching program, welcomed me with open arms and set me up for success on day 1! I started with a disconnected mind and center, limbs that flailed left, right, up, and down, and hips that did lie (oof, one hip forward while the other was down and back, that's a nope--they should be square and aligned)! As of this review, I am nearly two months in, and with each passing day, I have deepened my mind-body connection to movement through concentration, control, and precision, etc.
Risa and Janine have been vital to my success, but it truly doesn't stop there. As a newbie, I had to put in the work, and this involved weekly privates and group classes. Through these classes I have and the pleasure to work with many of the instructors at Sheppard. The instructors are thoroughly trained via Risa's Method and then some, it's through their instruction that my movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and listening abilities have improved. I am forever and always a work in progress, but I am so gracious to Sheppard Method's team and their efforts to connect me to myself!
I have to give a shout-out to Cat, Sheppard's rockstar office administrator. From my first call to the studio, her kind, cool and positive vibes eased my nerves while jazzing me up for the program.

I took the last teacher training certification with Risa Sheppard and Justin Cook. I am so thrilled that I learned with Sheppard Method! Both Risa and Justin are gems in the Los Angeles Pilates community. They've put their hearts and souls into creating the perfect teacher training where you end your practice feeling like you know everything you need to know plus more and they make sure you're ready to be a successful teacher right out of the gate!! They're there for every question and concern you have along the way and are super supportive through your process! Do yourself a favor and learn from this fabulous duo if you're looking for the perfect teacher training program!!

As I was starting my New Years workout resolution I decided to give Pilates a try. Any new workout can be intimidating ,but at the Sheppard studio i was out at ease from the moment I scheduled my first session. The location, studio and especially the staff are incredible! I have been going weekly and now only one and half months in I can already see the results! I never feel pressured or self conscious as the entire studio is a safe space for everyone’s goals.

I was looking for a new exercise to add to my routine, and I decided to give Pilates a shot. I looked for a place around Los Angeles that offers pilates classes, and voila, in pops Sheppard Method Pilates. I signed up for the one group mat class program. I struggled initially with the exercises since it was new to me, but I got the hang of it eventually after a couple of weeks. I can definitely feel the results, as my muscles aren’t as stiff and have fewer strains and cramps when I do my other exercises. The programs offered at Sheppard Method Pilates all have certification, which is good to know.
