"I have been practicing Pilates for twenty years and have had orthopedic surgeries and am a nine month breast cancer survivor. Laurene has been with me throughout much of my journey, she has guided me in helping me restore my mobility, rebuild muscular strength, and reduce chronic pain from treatment. With her knowledge, and directions along with her warm way of encouragement, I feel so grateful for Pilates, it is a way of life for me, and Laurene is the best!”
Amadee
"I've been working privately with Laurene for over four years and she's become both a trusted instructor and a friend. Her home studio is totally equipped — including my favorite, the Reformer— and she has made a real difference in my strength and flexibility, especially in helping me work through some stubborn hip issues. Laurene genuinely cares about her clients and it shows."
Meyghan
“I’ve been doing Pilates with Laurene for five years, and the impact on my strength, balance, and overall health has been remarkable. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, taller, more aligned, and more connected to my body. Thanks to her expertise and the warm, welcoming environment she creates, Pilates has become an essential and energizing part of my life. If you’re curious about Pilates I highly recommend Laurene and Paonia Pilates.”

"Laurene is a fantastic instructor, always taking time to check in and help individualize modifications if needed. I always feel refreshed and more fit when I leave my pilates class. I would highly recommend checking out her classes!”
Jennifer
"Laurene is knowledgeable, observant and she listens. I have taken mat classes and individual classes with Laurene and appreciate how she meets me where I am while helping me grow stronger and more capable. She is also a hoot and loves to laugh!
Paula
"Laurene’s pilates classes and sessions have been great for me. She leads a complete workout while keeping things interesting and providing useful feedback. In the 3 years that I’ve been working with her I have grown much stronger and now stand up straighter without having to think about it.”
