"I like Vanessa's professionalism... Every time, I feel I am properly guided and in good hands. She corrects if necessary and respects the body of each of us. 

Every time, I'm surprised how deep the training works. With Vanessa's classes, I never feel discouraged, but I do feel my body transforming. Week after week I come back without having to force myself. The courses remind me the need to take care of myself, to listen to my body, and to have a smooth but steady training.

When I come, I leave my worries behind. It is a moment for me. I set my body (and my mind) back straight. I like the relaxed atmosphere, but assertive if necessary.

I went to so many fitness centres in my life and every time I dropped because the philosophy is so disrespectful of the body: you force yourself and you hurt yourself! At KokyuDo, you are who you are: you accept it and go further with it!"

"I've just started the Do In course very recently. And I felt very welcomed. I also felt that everyone can be there with one's own level and capacities. Each exercice is adaptable to the physical characteristics of everyone.

Vanessa has a very keen sense of observation. She knows the facilities and difficulties of her students with sensitivity. week after week, she follows her students with individuality thanks to her sense of observation.

She comes and touches her students to accompagny them in their mouvements. I appreciate her sense of touch, extremely respectful. And at the same time, she gives a clear message to the body by placing her hands on the adequates spots. This quality of touch is very rare!

The atmosphere in the class is pleasant, focused, well-paced, and at the same time, light and sometimes amusing. These are the ingredients for great classes."

"Vanessa's courses benefit the body and the mind.

If you arrive to the class tensed or preoccupied, you set your problems aside for one hour and you simply listen to your body, to your breathing, to your sensations. And you leave the class completely relaxed, with the feeling to have a brand new body...

Vanessa is attentive to all of us, she watches all our mouvements and corrects each and everyone of us. She is also receptive to our minor and major aches and ailmens, she remembers them, and she adapts the exercices if necessary.

Vanessa generates positiv vibes. She is generous and considerate. I think she is great!!!!"

"What I appreciate in Vanessa's way of teaching is her energy, her motivation and her drive. And I also like the fact that she remembers exactly the little weaknesses of everyone in order to give us personalized instructions. The good atmosphere during the class is an additional positive point.

Pilates has given me a better posture, especially my back. When I sit, I pay attention to hold myself upright. I have strengthened my core and I've got more flexible than ever before. I do feel I lead a healthier life.

KokyuDo is a well-thought space: it brings harmony and peace. And Vanessa makes it easy to come back every week and stay motivated. "

"The classes are taught in a very professional way, in a serene and relaxed atmosphere, and above all, in respect of everyone. There is no competitive spirit. Everybody works at its own pace and everybody gets personalized encouragement from Vanessa, which is very important for me. Respect and effeciency are always present!

The studio is nice and harmonious. The nice light and choice of colours invite to relaxation."

"At first, I came on the recommandation of a colleague who said Vanessa was a great teacher. And indeed, she is great, but not only as a Pilates teacher. Above all, she is very professional, but also very humane. This is far more easily said than done...

Vanessa understands our needs at first sight, and I can affirm that her gazes are not lacking in her classes.

She taught me how to control certain parts of my body, but also my mind as she introduced me to meditation.

The other participants at KokyuDo are very diversed and motivated. And the atmosphere of the studio helps to find harmony, as it reigns very simply there.

Again, it is far more easily said than done. And Vanessa succeeds in doing it!"

"My mother is coming to Vanessa 's courses for more than 9 years. As for me, it has been 2 years since I come to KokyuDo. And I really enjoy it as the atmosphere is very pleasant. What we particularly like, my mother and I, is the positive energy that radiants from Vanessa and her precisous advices, allowing us to progress and develop our muscles "with joy and good humour"."

"I felt directly at ease in Vanessa's course, where exigency, clarity in the instructions and extreme softness were always present. Thanks to her great pedagogical qualities, I understood more deeply the inner path I had to take to feel increasingly serene.

Vanessa is a passionate, competent and very kind person. Don't hesitate to trust her!" 

"Fitness centre and other sports were totally unknown by me. Surprinsigly, I quickly enjoyed KokyuDo, studio where Vanessa welcomes us with respect, whatever our level might be. 

Do-In and Pilates (slightly more high-paced) bring me a real feeling of relaxation.

The experience of Do-In and Pilates with Vanessa is undoubtely a must!"

"I've been taking Pilates classes with Vanessa for some years, and I'm very satisfied. Since I started, I don't suffer from back pain anymore (I'm a teacher and sometimes I have to stand for the whole day). And if I sometimes miss the class, I feel the difference! Vanessa is a very good teacher because she corrects our postures to the details, she teaches us to "understand" our body and she always is available for all our questions.

The atmosphere in the studio is very agreeable. We can chat before or after the class while drinking a cup of tea.

I've taken other Pilates classes in other studios, and they never were as good and as complete as Vanessa's."

"As a singer, I particularly liked her approach on the breathing and the importance she attaches to the "proper" breath combined with the abdominal work.

She is an excellent teacher, very attentive to her student. And the construction of her courses is subtle and progressive. The difficulty of the courses increases little by little and allows me to progress and to perform mouvements I didn't think I was capable of!"

"What I like in Vanessa's teaching? Everything!!!

But if I have to develop, I would say:

The way she adapts the classes intelligently according to circumstances;

Her keen eye which allow to correct our postures even when there are many of us in the room;

Her precision and dedication in her teaching but paired with her good mood and her laughter;

The good atmosphere in the classes which, as a result, reigns also in the studio, without competitive spirit, and with people I enjoy meeting from week to week.

I originally came for the Pilates, but the Do-In course is a real discovery and has a special place in my heart. Through the stretching exercices and the self-massage, which are at the same time extremely physical and extremely relaxing, I have the impression to feel the circulation of energy and oxygen inside my body. I also like how Vanessa shares with us her passion for this culture and philosophy and the work on the meridians depending on the season.

After the recovery from my cancer, this courses are integral elements in my journey towards my "newfound" health and towards the strenghtening of my immune system."
