“I have been coming to Eneida’s mat classes for a few years now, and both she (and the classes) are fantastic. I never thought a work out could be enjoyable! The personalised attention is unbeatable. Highly recommended!”

“Eneida and her pilates has quite simply changed my life. Her unique combination of unwavering technical discipline and encouragement is inspirational. All sessions at Joe and Me, whether with Eneida or another teacher are infused with a purposeful camaraderie that makes pilates one of the highlights of my week. I have so much physical confidence and this shows in everything I do – whether it be sport, gardening or just feeling strong enough to sit at my desk all day writing without succumbing to neck pains. I’m absolutely convinced that pilates has enabled me to continue to be active, pain and injury free.”

“Eneida is amazing good at what she is doing. I am 70 year of age, have done yoga for some years, but now need some specialized help with curvature of the spine and other problems. I would never have imagined it possible that anyone could accumulate such a fine-grained knowledge of every minute aspect of muscle mechanics and ergonomics. In my experience she knows it miles better than any physiotherapist known to me. She enjoys her work with a dedication and passion that immediately makes you feel comfortable and appreciated. She is quite wonderful, surely the best pilates instructor in the southern hemisphere.”

“Eneida is an excellent Pilates teacher. She is very observant and is always picking up on my mistakes. She is able to tailor exercises to different needs and injuries. She is compassionate but tough. I find her descriptions of the movement involved very vivid and easy to follow.”
Tanya Bosch
“In the 3 or so years I have been doing pilates with Eneida, a number chronic injuries have all but disappeared. I have a background in yoga practice and dance and thought of myself as body-aware. But after years of sitting for work and problems associated with hypermobility, I had very painful and sometimes quite disabling knee, hip, back and neck problems. The old physical disciplines and my belief in my knowledge of my body were often working against me. I needed rigorous retraining on how to use my body in and out of the pilates studio. Eneida and more recently Daniella have a wonderful ability to thoughtfully devise exercises for your particular body-type or injury. Their backgrounds in classical dance and physiotherapy must help their ability to do this. They are also very gorgeous people with a gentle but clear direction. This makes doing their sometimes tough classes rewarding and a pleasure. I feel very lucky to have found such great teachers.”

“Eneida got me through my blackbelt test. She fixed my endless training aches & pains and if that wasn’t enough she showed me the little secrets that let me do moves in the test that were impossible for me before. She is wonderful. After six years I’m still knocked out when she fixes some debilitating pain with a click of her fingers. I’m busy announcing that it’s permanent then she says it’s postural, shows me what to do, I try it, then I say ‘amazing’. It’s a little routine we have. One more thing, my in-laws live on top of a mountain that is accessible only by walking. If it wasn’t for Eni I think I’d still be there. She really does help you conquer mountains.”
David Mane
“When it comes to exercise, I am a shameless cheat. Sadly that practice has come to an end under Eneida and Dani’s watchful eye. They make sure that every minute spent in their class will deliver the maximum benefit to your body. One of their subtle adjustments not only makes sure that they extend your capability to the limit but that, more importantly, you do it safely. I am 120% confident of not sustaining an injury in one of their classes.”
Shimon Parker
“Like most people in their Sixties, we have the usual quota of musculoskeletal problems. We regard our regular Pilates sessions with Eneida or Dani as an essential part of staying in good shape. For general posture maintenance and prevention of back problems, it can’t be beaten.”
