Love From Clients & Students
Ageless Pilates Mat w/ Props (Zoom) -
"I love Laurie’s ageless Pilates class. Laurie teaches us with intention so no one hurts themselves and is conscious of those of us that may have an injury. I feel so grounded after each class which is good for my health. Since we are attending classes over Zoom it is fun to talk about the weather and other things going on in the state we each live in. I have been with Laurie off and on for over 20 years and her teaching style is exactly what I need. She’s spiritual and very caring. " ~ Lori, CO

"At 61, I had never had a Pilates class. Laurie provides great cueing to make sure you are properly aligned and properly breathing through every step of exercise so even a novice like me can achieve success. After class, I find myself with improved posture, and aches and pains that disappeared! You will not be disappointed." ~ Kim, NC
​
"After taking Laurie's online Pilates Mat w/ Props class for about two years, I am much more aware of my posture, the importance of strengthening my core and keeping my body aligned. Besides all that, she reminds us every time to thank our bodies for the work they do, to thank ourselves for doing the work to stay active, and to give ourselves the love and care we deserve. I feel greatly affirmed at the end of every class and am better able to pass that love and care on to others." ~ Babbie, NC

"I met Laurie Wood in 2017 and have tried to never miss a class since then! I credit her classes with keeping my 72-year-old body in shape, especially as regards flexibility and core strength, enabling me to keep up with so many life activities... including hiking, gardening, lifting heavy objects (and grandchildren!). I was introduced to Pilates 20 years ago after a car accident. Laurie has been the best instructor I've known, especially with regard to her breadth of knowledge and post-rehab Pilates. Her "ageless" approach to teaching is reflected in my family as my 35-year-old daughter has also embraced it, including throughout her pregnancy. Even in her Zoom classes we get to know the other students and we become friends through our Laurie connection – whether we're in North Carolina, Colorado, or Hawaii!" ~ Mindy, HI

"After suffering for 20 years with unrelenting sciatic pain, Pilates has changed my life. Doctors prescribed medication, physical therapy and even traction. Nothing helped for more than short term relief. Pilates has allowed me to live mostly pain free. And when the pain flares up, Laurie has given me the tools, especially the foam roller, to tame it back. I will be forever grateful to Laurie and Pilates for giving me my life back. It may take a little while, but stick with it and you will experience change." ~ Pat, NC​​
Ageless Jazz Dance (Zoom) -
"Laurie Grace Wood is a fabulous dance teacher for ageless dancers, or in reality, any age. She has an extensive repertoire of dances that delight her students. Her instructions are easy to follow, and she makes sure it is fun to dance with her!"

"I enjoy Ageless Jazz because it’s energizing and fun!" ~ Lois, WA
Ageless Pilates Mat -
"I am going on my third year of taking Ageless Pilates Mat classes with Laurie Wood. I received a bone density test recently and my doctor called to report a "marked improvement" in my test results. That is the first time in fifteen years I have shown any improvement at all! My doctor's advice is to keep doing whatever I am doing, which is weekly Ageless Pilates Mat class, walking, taking calcium and D3. I am thrilled!"
~ Phyllis, CO
"Finding Laurie Wood's Ageless Pilates Mat class and her private Pilates Post-Rehab sessions a year and half ago were like finding a treasure. Laurie has helped me uncover, unlock, and explore my body's physical potential with her extensive knowledge, training, expertise, and compassionate instruction. Her encouragement and patience are evident as she instructs us mindfully to strengthen our cores, balance our bodies, and align our spines. She teaches us incrementally and gently with constant attention to safety for each class member. Her private pilates and massage sessions have been extremely healing and transformative for me on many levels. The results for me have been amazing! I am 70 years old, and even though I have had a hip replacement and significant arthritis, my core and total body strength have never been better! Working with Laurie is truly a treasured process!"
~ Carol, CO
​"In January, 2012, at the age of 77, I took courage in hand and enrolled in Laurie Wood's Pilates for the Ageless class. It has been a joyful experience for me both physically and mentally. I know my core is stronger, my balance is improving, and not once during class do I think about the fact that I am the oldest member. Laurie has a wonderful way of teaching and making everyone feel good about themselves and comfortable with their classmates."
~ Phyllis, CO
Bodywork, Energywork, & Raindrop Technique -
"In late November 2011, I had a 13-level spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Laurie through another client of hers, and started seeing her 3 months post-op. Right off the bat she adapted very well to my specific needs and was very educated in the matter. Every time I saw her I made progress with my emotions, my health, and my pain! She helped my healing (inside and out) and making it a routine to see her always gives me something to look forward to. I have done both regular massage therapy as well as Raindrop Technique with her. The work she is doing is 'freakishly magical.' I definitely don't think I would be where I am today without all of her help!"
~ Kelsi, CO

"Her restoring touch helped me regenerate very important nerves, as well as tend to my healing muscles and make me feel comforted. I can truly say I would not have healed as well without her bodywork and her wisdom. She has remained with me through many of my personal journeys and continues to support me through my current experience; welcoming my first baby in June! I would highly recommend her as she is great at using her intuition to provide you with the best and most comfortable experience possible. She is nothing short of a miracle worker!"
