Laurie is a well educated, enthusiastic and professional instructor. She prepares lessons specifically for what my body needs. She includes a wide variety of exercises with a good amount of warm up so I never get bored. I've been taking Pilates lessons for 15 years in several different locations across the US and Laurie ranks as one of the best instructors I've ever had.

Laurie is knowledgeable, patient and encouraging! She was able to work with my old injuries and still help me achieve all of my goals!

Laurie gives one-on-one Pilates classes in her small Shelburne studio. I love working with her. She's extremely knowledgable about how to work around my injuries and is focused, which I really appreciate (plus she makes me laugh). Plus, I like the fact if I wanted to double up I could bring a friend to join me. I've taken group classes before, but I really benefit from the personal attention. Highly recommend.

I join all the previous reviewers in their enthusiasm for Laurie Kotorman's teaching methods. I have been taking Pilates classes from Laurie for almost ten years. Classes have ranged from private, focused reformer sessions, to group mat pilates, group barre pilates classes to my weekly group reformer classes.

Love Laurie's classes. She is well trained (with ongoing training) and knows not only what she teaches but why certain positions are best, what muscles are involved and the science behind it. There are always modifications making it easier or more difficult. I like that Laurie knows when to cue and can spot when we are doing something incorrectly.....that only a trained eye and sometimes gentle hand could feel. Because of her teachings I find I am more balanced (well, physically anyway) have much better posture and less apt to injure myself, specifically my fragile back. Thank you Laurie!!!

I have been doing Pilates with Laurie for a few years and love it! Never boring - she prepares for each session to work on different aspects of my needs, makes it both challenging and fun! Can't wait to go back!!!!

I met Laurie 4 years ago when she was subbing for another Pilates class in the area. I've been taking private classes with her for the last 3 months and love her attention to detail, positive attitude and diligence in working around my shoulder injury. She's fun and easy to work with. Would highly recommend for Pilates Reformer or mat classes!
