Many of you will have had the joy to have known Therese DeFalco and to have experienced the pleasure of being taught by her. It was in the very early years of Barefoot Studio when Therese first "rocked up' (as she would say) asking for a job. She was the very first Pilates teacher we employed at Barefoot Studio and she was a huge part of our lives for many years. We climbed mountains together, jumped in the freezing cold sea on Christmas Day together, she taught Nordic Walking and Pilates and brought her New Jersey energy and passion with her in whatever she did. Therese was generous of spirit, full of life, determined and brave. We shared so many good times with Therese but she sadly had to face many hard times too. Tomorrow we say goodbye to a person who will be missed by many, rest in peace Therese ❤️x

Check out this review:

"Karen immediately struck me as thoroughly professional; so it turned out: she is authentic, with both good theoretical knowledge and thoughtful personal experience of what she is teaching.She is hands-on, with each phase of the technique practically demonstrated and clearly explained. You get real value for your time and money; she clearly wants you to learn and to learn best practice. There is even proper advice as to which poles would be best for you and more; all this set in the attractive, easily commutable Welsh countryside near Cardiff" PETER CREAK, from Oxford.
